AVIF to JPG

Convert AVIF images to JPG so they open in any editor, office suite, or upload form — including all the ones showing you a blank thumbnail today.

Runs entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device.

AVIF is excellent on the web and awkward everywhere else

AVIF is the newest of the web image formats and the most efficient by a clear margin, frequently half the size of a comparable JPG. Sites have started serving it by default, which means it now turns up in your downloads folder the same way WebP began to a few years ago. The difference is that AVIF support outside the browser is much thinner: many desktop editors, most office suites, and a large share of upload forms simply do not recognise the file.

Converting to JPG makes the picture usable again everywhere. Decoding happens in your browser using the same code that displayed the image on the page you took it from, so any browser that can show an AVIF can convert one. If decoding fails, that is the browser telling you it cannot read that particular AVIF profile — the file itself is fine, and a current version of Chrome, Edge, or Safari will usually handle it without complaint.

How to convert AVIF to JPG

  1. 1

    Add the AVIF files

    AVIF is the newest of the web image formats and the least widely supported outside browsers, which is why the file downloaded fine but will not open in your editor.

  2. 2

    Choose the JPG quality

    AVIF is more efficient than JPG, so the converted file will usually be larger than what you started with. That is expected, and it is the price of the compatibility you are converting for.

  3. 3

    Download the JPG

    Now it opens anywhere. Keep the AVIF for anything that is going back onto a web page — it is the better format there, just not the more portable one.

AVIF to JPG questions

Because support outside browsers is still patchy. Windows needs the AV1 Video Extension from the Microsoft Store, older versions of Photoshop and Affinity have no AVIF support at all, and many upload forms validate extensions against a list written before the format existed.

Decoding relies on the browser's own AVIF support. Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari 16 and later handle common AVIF files, but some encoder profiles — particularly high bit depth or unusual colour spaces — are not decodable everywhere. If a file refuses to convert, try it in a current version of Chrome.

Almost certainly, often around twice the size for the same picture. AVIF is substantially more efficient than JPG, so you are trading file size for the ability to open the image in anything at all.

No, and no browser-based tool honestly can. Browsers can open AVIF but cannot create it, so a tool offering AVIF output in the browser is either uploading your file to a server or quietly handing you a renamed PNG.

Some. AVIF is lossy and JPG is lossy, so re-encoding adds a second round of compression. At the default quality of 85 it is not visible at normal viewing sizes, but keep the AVIF if you want the smallest possible archive copy.
