What is AVIF?

AVIF stores still images with the AV1 video codec. It is the most efficient mainstream image format available, often halving WebP file sizes while adding HDR and wide-gamut colour.

Published by the Alliance for Open Media in 2019.

  • Best-in-class compression — the smallest files at a given quality
  • 10- and 12-bit colour depth, HDR and wide gamut support
  • Transparency and animation in the same container

What is JPEG?

JPEG is the lossy photographic image format that most cameras, phones and websites default to. It throws away detail the eye is unlikely to notice in order to reach very small file sizes.

Standardised by the Joint Photographic Experts Group in 1992.

  • Extremely small files for photographs and other continuous-tone images
  • Adjustable quality, so you can trade sharpness for bandwidth
  • Opens on literally every device, browser and photo app in use today

Why convert AVIF to JPEG?

  • JPEG is the better fit for photographs and rich colour images where file size matters more than pixel-perfect edges, while AVIF is built for cutting-edge web delivery where every kilobyte counts.
  • It sidesteps the main drawback of AVIF: encoding is slow and CPU-hungry compared with JPEG or WebP.
  • You gain extremely small files for photographs and other continuous-tone images.
  • Anything transparent in the AVIF file will be flattened onto a solid background, so check logos and cut-outs afterwards.
  • Compatibility improves where it counts: Every web browser and Windows Photos, macOS Preview, iOS and Android galleries.

Quality and file size after conversion

Both formats are lossy, so this is a re-encode rather than a copy. Quality is set by the target bitrate or quality level rather than by the source, and each additional round trip costs a little fidelity. Convert once, from the highest-quality file you have.

Compatibility

AVIF opens in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari 16+, macOS Ventura+ and Android 12+ natively, Limited desktop app support — conversion is usually required. JPEG opens in Every web browser, Windows Photos, macOS Preview, iOS and Android galleries, Photoshop, Affinity, GIMP, Canva, Office, Google Docs.

If the file has to work for someone else, choose the format their software already understands rather than the one with the best specification.

Limitations to know about

  • JPEG is lossy — the conversion is one-way and re-editing the output repeatedly will degrade it.
  • Animation is not preserved — a single frame is exported.
  • No transparency channel — anything transparent becomes solid white or black
  • Compression artefacts appear around hard edges, text and flat colour

When to keep AVIF instead

AVIF is still the right choice for cutting-edge web delivery where every kilobyte counts. Keep the original alongside the converted copy whenever you might need to re-export at a different size or quality — conversion is quick, but recovering discarded detail is impossible.

Frequently asked questions

Is this AVIF to JPEG converter free?

Yes. Every conversion on Convert Always is free, with no account, no watermark and no daily download cap. The site is funded by advertising rather than subscriptions.

Are my AVIF files uploaded to a server?

No. AVIF to JPEG runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the file never leaves your device. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads.

Will converting to JPEG reduce the quality?

Both formats are lossy, so this is a re-encode rather than a copy. Quality is set by the target bitrate or quality level rather than by the source, and each additional round trip costs a little fidelity. Convert once, from the highest-quality file you have.

Can I convert several AVIF files at once?

Yes. Add up to 20 files to the queue, convert them in one pass and download the results individually or bundled into a single ZIP archive.

What is the maximum AVIF file size?

Files up to 100 MB each are accepted. Browser-side conversions are limited mainly by your device's memory, so very large video files convert faster on a desktop than on a phone.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The converter is built mobile-first and works in Safari and Chrome on phones and tablets. Heavy media conversions are slower on mobile hardware but still run locally.
