AVIF to JPG — Convert AVIF Images to JPEG in Your Browser
Convert AVIF images to JPEG. Drops transparency, keeps quality, runs entirely in your browser. No uploads, no accounts, no size limits.

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) compresses photos about 50% smaller than JPEG at the same visible quality, but the format has only been widely supported in browsers and image viewers since 2021. Older phones, chat apps, print kiosks, and CMS upload fields still refuse to accept it. The fix is to convert the AVIF to a JPEG before you share it — and the conversion is worth doing in the browser, because AVIF files often come from a designer’s working folder or a screenshot tool, not from a server you control.
The non-obvious thing about this conversion is what gets lost on the way to JPEG. The format change is not a simple re-wrap — AVIF’s main advantages (transparency, wide color gamut, animation) all have to be sacrificed to land inside a JPEG. Understanding which of those three your source AVIF used tells you whether a single JPG export is enough, or whether you need a PNG instead. The drop zone tells you the source’s resolution and color space; that is the only metadata worth checking before you pick an output format.
For a final hand-off: if the original was a screenshot, the destination is a CMS, or the file needs to be searchable as text, switch to the AVIF-to-PNG converter instead. If the goal is a smaller email attachment, run the JPG through the Image Compress tool next — it has a size-target mode that stops at 100 KB without the trial-and-error of guessing a quality slider.
How to use
Drop one or many AVIF files
Drag .avif files into the drop zone, or paste from clipboard. The tool accepts animated AVIFs but only the first frame is exported as JPG.
Pick a quality target (optional)
Default is 92, which keeps detail indistinguishable from the original on most screens. Drop to 80 for smaller files suitable for email attachments.
Download the JPEGs
Each file converts in under a second. You can download them one-by-one or as a zip.
Frequently asked
Will my transparent areas be preserved?
No. JPEG does not support an alpha channel, so transparent pixels in the source are composited against white. If you need transparency, convert to PNG instead.
Is the output visually identical to the source?
At quality 92 the difference is below the threshold of perceptual diff tools like DSSIM on most photos. For graphics with hard edges (logos, text), use quality 95 or convert to PNG.
Why does the file get bigger than the AVIF?
AVIF is roughly 50% smaller than JPEG at equivalent visual quality. Converting to JPG trades file size for compatibility — the output is always larger than the input.
Does it keep EXIF data?
Camera metadata (Make, Model, DateTime, GPS) is preserved. XMP and ICC color profiles are not embedded in the output JPG.
Can I convert a HEIC file by changing the extension?
No. AVIF and HEIC share a codec lineage but are different containers. Use the dedicated HEIC converter for that file type.
Limitations
- First frame onlyAnimated AVIFs export as the first frame. The rest of the animation is dropped on conversion — there is no way to keep motion in a JPEG.
- No transparency in outputIf your source has cutouts, soft edges, or semi-transparent shadows, they are flattened against a white background. Use AVIF-to-PNG if you need to keep the alpha channel.
- Wide-gamut color is clippedAVIF can store Rec.2020 / Display P3 color spaces. JPEG is limited to sRGB. Wide-gamut pixels are remapped, which can shift saturated reds and greens slightly.
Platform notes
- macOS
- Preview and Quick Look cannot open AVIF on macOS 12 or earlier. Safari 16+ on Ventura renders them, but the OS file picker still shows a generic icon.
- Windows
- Windows 10's built-in Photos app gained AVIF support in 2022, but the Photos app on Windows 11 21H2 still cannot preview them. Use the dedicated converter for older builds.
- Linux
- Most modern distros (Ubuntu 22.04+, Fedora 36+) ship AVIF decoders in the freeimage and libheif packages. Older LTS releases may need a backport.
- iOS
- iOS 16+ Safari opens AVIFs inline. Earlier iOS versions cannot display them at all, which is the most common reason someone needs this converter.
- Android
- Chrome on Android supports AVIF since version 85. Stock gallery apps on Samsung and Pixel devices vary — One UI 5 and Pixel 7+ are confirmed working.
