What this does
Turns AVIF images into plain JPGs that any phone, app, form or printer can
read. Your browser does the decoding and the JPEG encoding; the files never
leave your computer. Up to 20 per batch, 50 MB each, with a quality
slider from 10 to 100 that starts at 92. Output files keep their original
name with a .jpg extension.
Why can't my app open an AVIF file?
AVIF is young. It came out of the AV1 video codec in 2019, with Netflix
publishing the first real-world comparisons, and Chrome started displaying
it in 2020. Because it beats JPG and WebP on size, image-heavy sites and
CDNs now serve it automatically, so saving a picture from the web
increasingly hands you an .avif. Outside the browser, support
is thin: Windows needs a paid-store AV1 extension to preview it, macOS only
reads it from Ventura onward, Office and most older editors do not open it
at all, and upload forms for marketplaces, ID checks and job applications
almost never accept it. JPG is the opposite case — it has been readable
by everything for thirty years.
Which browsers can do this conversion?
The tool has no decoder of its own, so it works wherever the browser can display AVIF: current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari all qualify. In an older browser the file row shows Could not decode image and the file is skipped, with no fallback. Safari before macOS 13 / iOS 16 and Edge before January 2024 are the usual culprits; switching to Chrome or Firefox on the same machine is the quickest fix.
How do I convert AVIF to JPG?
- Drop the
.aviffiles above or click to pick them. - Set the quality. 92 is the default; for a lossy-to-lossy conversion, 85 or above keeps the second compression pass invisible.
- Click Convert to JPG and download each file from its row. The button shows the new size so you can check it against any upload limit.
What quality should I use for a second lossy pass?
Both AVIF and JPG discard detail, and the AVIF has already discarded its share. The default 92 reproduces what the decoder saw with no visible change. Dropping to 80 to 85 trims the file with little cost on photos. Anything under 70 starts to soften fine texture and ring around edges. For screenshots or text-heavy graphics that need to stay crisp, skip the second lossy step and use AVIF to PNG instead.
What happens to HDR, transparency and animation?
All three are AVIF features JPG lacks. HDR and 10-bit colour are reduced to 8-bit sRGB on the canvas, so very bright highlights and saturated colours can look tamer. Transparent pixels are flattened onto white before encoding; if the image has a transparent background you want to keep, PNG is the right target. Animated AVIF sequences are decoded as a still, so only the first frame survives. Output is capped at 8192 pixels per side, and no EXIF or metadata is carried into the JPG. If you need one place to convert between every format, the parent image converter handles AVIF alongside PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, BMP, SVG and HEIC.
