What an AVIF is

AVIF is a newer picture format that squeezes photographs into much smaller files than JPG. Websites and some phones and apps use it, so you end up with .avif files after saving a picture. Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari can display them. Older Windows photo viewers, many editors, print services and upload forms cannot, which is why a JPG is still the safe choice for sharing.

What goes wrong with AVIF

  • Your browser has to read it. This page uses your browser to open the AVIF. If it is too old to display AVIF, the page says so in plain words instead of failing quietly, and suggests what to do. That includes older Safari.
  • Colour depth. An AVIF can hold more than 8 bits of colour or a wide colour range. A JPG holds 8 bits, so very rich pictures can look slightly flatter after the move.
  • Transparency. An AVIF can be see-through. A JPG cannot, so clear areas take the fill colour. Use the PNG output if you want to keep them.
  • Animated AVIF. If the file holds an animation, only the first frame is converted and the page notes it.

The settings, for this conversion

  • Quality. 90 to start. AVIF is already compressed, so choose 90 or higher to keep the JPG pass from adding visible blocks.
  • Fill. The colour for transparent areas, shown only when the picture has some.
  • Resolution. The dpi to write in. An AVIF has no print size, so 300 is the default.

How to do it

  1. Drop the .avif file, or choose it.
  2. JPG is selected here; choose PNG instead if the picture has a transparent background.
  3. Check the size under Result, then download.

Open the picture here, choose how to save it, and download. Everything happens in this page: the picture is read and rewritten by your browser, with no upload and no account. You can confirm that on the Network tab of your browser's developer tools.

One picture, or a whole folder

Converting one picture at a time is free, with no watermark and no limit. If you load several, you can pick any of them to preview and save on its own. Pro converts every loaded picture in one go and saves them as one ZIP (up to 30 at a time) with a short report of what was made.

Other conversions

The same tool opens with a different pair on each page, and any picture works on any page.

Questions

Why does it say my browser cannot open AVIF?

The conversion starts with your browser reading the picture. A browser without AVIF support cannot, and this page cannot add that. Open the page in a recent Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari, or ask for the picture as JPG or PNG where you got it.

Can I get a PNG from an AVIF too?

Yes. Choose PNG under Save as. A PNG keeps transparency, which a JPG cannot.

Will the JPG look different from the AVIF?

Usually not by eye. The JPG stores 8-bit colour, so a picture with a very wide colour range or high dynamic range can look a little flatter. The preview shows the actual result before you download.

Why is the JPG bigger than the AVIF?

AVIF is among the most efficient formats for photographs, so the same picture takes more room as a JPG. Lowering the quality brings it down.

Can I convert many pictures at once?

You can load up to 30 pictures and look at each one, but saving them one by one is free and saving them all at once is part of Pro: one ZIP with every converted file and a short report. Your first batch on a device is free to try.

Is my picture uploaded?

No. The picture is opened and rewritten by your browser, in this page, and the page has no code that sends a file anywhere. The site counts that a tool was used and that a file of a certain type was saved, never the picture or its name.
