Supports JPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF
AVIF is the most efficient of the widely used image formats, which is why websites have started serving it — and why you now have a file your other software refuses to open. It is the same story WebP went through a few years earlier, one step further along: browser support arrived first, and desktop applications, upload forms and older devices are still catching up. Converting to JPG is how you get an image that works everywhere while that gap closes.
The conversion happens by decoding the AVIF in your browser and re-encoding it as JPEG, which has one practical consequence worth stating: your browser has to be able to read AVIF in the first place. Current versions of the major browsers can, so in practice this works — but if you are on something older and the file will not even preview, that is the limitation rather than a problem with the file.
Because you are going from one lossy format to another, this is a second compression pass. AVIF achieves its small sizes by discarding information aggressively, and JPEG then discards more, in a different way. At 85 to 90 percent quality the result looks the same at normal viewing sizes. Where you will notice it is in images that were already compressed hard — an AVIF saved at a low quality has less left to give.
How to convert an AVIF file to JPG
- 1
Drop the .avif file in
Add it to the box above. Your browser decodes it locally, so the file is never uploaded and the conversion is immediate.
- 2
Choose JPEG as the output
This is the format that opens in essentially anything — older software, print workflows, and upload forms that reject modern formats.
- 3
Use a fairly high quality
Because the source is already compressed, start higher than you normally would — around 90 percent — so the second pass has room to work without visible degradation.
- 4
Download the JPG
The result opens anywhere. Keep the original .avif if you may need to re-convert later at a different setting.
Pro tip: Always convert from the original .avif rather than from something you already converted. Every lossy conversion compounds on the last, and an image that has gone AVIF to JPG and back again several times develops visible mush in flat areas and softness around edges. Keep the .avif as your master — it is the smallest file you have anyway — and produce whatever format each destination needs from it directly.
Troubleshooting: If your browser cannot preview the .avif at all, it does not support AVIF decoding and the conversion cannot run — a current browser resolves it. If the JPG looks soft, the source AVIF was compressed hard and the second pass has little room; raise the output quality and convert from the original. If the image had transparency, JPEG cannot carry it and those areas become white — Convert AVIF to PNG preserves them instead.
Need transparency kept, or a lossless copy? Convert AVIF to PNG. For a modern format with wider software support than AVIF but the same efficiency benefits, Convert AVIF to WebP. The equivalent conversion for the other web format is Convert WebP to JPG. To make AVIF files rather than open them, Convert Image to AVIF, or reduce one in place with Compress AVIF Online.
Frequently asked questions
How do I open an AVIF file?
Convert it to JPG or PNG, which is what this tool does — browsers can read AVIF even when desktop software cannot, so the conversion happens in the browser and gives you a file that opens anywhere. There is no setting that makes older applications understand the format.
Does converting AVIF to JPG lose quality?
Some. AVIF is already lossy, and JPEG applies a second lossy pass with a different method. At 85 to 90 percent quality it is not visible at normal viewing sizes. Because the source is pre-compressed, starting from a higher quality setting than usual is worth doing.
Why does my computer not support AVIF?
Because it is a recent format and non-browser software has been slower to adopt it than browsers were. Websites serve it because it produces the smallest files, which is exactly why you end up with one when you save an image. Converting is the practical answer.
Should I convert AVIF to JPG or PNG?
JPG for photographs, where it produces much smaller files at the same visible quality. PNG when the image has transparency you need to keep, or when it contains text and graphics where JPEG artefacts would show. PNG is lossless, so it also avoids adding a second compression pass.
Is my file uploaded when I convert AVIF?
No. Decoding and re-encoding both run inside your browser on your own device. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or logged, and the tool works offline once the page has loaded.
