AVIF to JPG Converter

Open an AVIF that your other software will not, and convert it to something everything reads.

AVIF is the format your phone and modern sites increasingly save, and the one older editors still refuse to open. Your browser already decodes it, so this page converts it on your device with nothing uploaded.

Converts AVIF to JPG, PNG or WebP using your browser’s own decoder — nothing is uploaded. If your browser is very old it may not decode AVIF at all, and this page will say so rather than hand you a blank image.

Why AVIF will not open in your editor

AVIF is a still image stored in the AV1 video codec. It reaches roughly half the size of a JPG at the same visual quality, which is why sites and phones have adopted it quickly, and why you now have files that will not open.

Support split along an awkward line. Browsers added AVIF decoding years ago; desktop editors did not. Photoshop needs a plugin on older versions, and plenty of Windows and Android apps still show nothing at all. Converting is usually faster than fighting it.

Which format to convert to

JPG is the safe answer. Every piece of software made in the last thirty years opens it. You lose transparency, which AVIF supports and JPG does not, so anything transparent becomes solid.

PNG keeps transparency and is lossless, so nothing degrades. The file will usually be several times larger than the AVIF was, because PNG is an old format that compresses photographs poorly.

WebP sits between the two: much smaller than PNG, keeps transparency, and is supported by every current browser but not by every desktop app.

What conversion costs you

AVIF is lossy, so it has already discarded detail. Converting to JPG discards a little more, because JPG is lossy too. At quality 92 that second loss is hard to see, but it is real, and it happens again every time you re-save.

Converting to PNG avoids any further loss, but it cannot recover what AVIF already threw away. A PNG made from an AVIF is a perfect copy of an imperfect image, at several times the size.

Common questions

Is my image uploaded?
No. Your browser already contains an AVIF decoder, which is how AVIF images on websites display at all. This page uses that decoder and a canvas, both local. The file never leaves your device, which is also why there is no queue and no size cap beyond your own memory.
Why does the JPG come out larger than the AVIF?
Because AVIF is a much better compressor. Roughly half the size at the same quality is normal. You are trading file size for the ability to open the image in software that does not speak AVIF, and that trade is the whole point of converting.
Will I lose transparency?
Converting to JPG, yes: JPG has no alpha channel, so transparent areas become solid. Choose PNG or WebP to keep transparency. The preview shows what you will actually get before you download.
It says my browser cannot decode AVIF.
Then it is an older build. AVIF decoding landed in Chrome 85, Firefox 93 and Safari 16. Updating the browser fixes it. We deliberately do not ship a fallback decoder, because a several-megabyte download to convert one file is a worse trade than updating.
Can this convert TO AVIF?
No, and no browser-only tool honestly can right now. Browsers decode AVIF but do not encode it: asking a canvas for AVIF silently returns a PNG instead. Rather than hand you a mislabelled file, this page only outputs the three formats the browser genuinely writes.
Does it handle animated AVIF?
It takes the first frame. Animated AVIF exists but is rare, and JPG and PNG cannot hold animation anyway. For animation, the GIF maker is the closer fit.
