AVIF to JPG Converter

Turn AVIF images into JPG files that open in every app, upload form and photo viewer - need transparency kept? Use AVIF to PNG instead.

How to convert AVIF to JPG

  1. Add your AVIF files. Drop up to 50 AVIF images into the box, or browse for them. Your browser decodes them - nothing is uploaded.
  2. Set the JPG quality. Quality 90 is the default and looks like the original. The JPG size shown is measured from the real file, not guessed.
  3. Adjust if you like. Pick a background colour for transparent areas, resize, or rename the files. Every option starts closed and shows its value.
  4. Convert and download. Press Convert to JPG. One or two files download directly, more than two come as a ZIP.

Want the JPG even smaller afterwards? Run it through Compress JPG.

Why convert AVIF to JPG?

AVIF is great for websites, but plenty of software still cannot open it.

Windows Photos needs an extra codec, older Photoshop and Office ignore it, and many upload forms reject it.

JPG opens everywhere - phones, printers, email, social networks and every photo editor. Just want a quick look first? Use the AVIF Viewer.

Going the other way for a website? JPG to AVIF makes your photos about half the size. Need test files? Try the AVIF sample files.

Why is my JPG bigger than the AVIF?

That is normal. AVIF packs images about twice as tightly as JPG, so the same picture needs more bytes as a JPG.

Quality 80-85 keeps the JPG close in size while still looking clean. Quality 95-100 only makes sense for printing or further editing.

Need it smaller anyway? Use Max width under Resize, or try AVIF to WebP, which stays smaller and also opens in most apps.

Transparency, HDR and animated AVIF

  • Transparency - JPG has none, so transparent areas get white or any colour you pick. To keep them see-through use AVIF to PNG.
  • HDR and 10/12-bit - your browser tone-maps the image to normal 8-bit colour, the way it shows it on screen.
  • Animated AVIF - its frames appear under the preview. Tick any frames and each becomes its own JPG. For a moving picture use AVIF to GIF.

Frequently Asked Questions

Drop your AVIF files into the box, keep quality 90 or pick a preset, and press Convert to JPG.

One file downloads as a JPG, more than two come as a ZIP.

No. Your browser decodes the AVIF and writes the JPG on your device.

Only if your browser cannot read AVIF at all (for example a very old Safari) is that one file decoded on our server - the page tells you, and the copy is deleted right away.

Windows Photos needs the AV1 Video Extension from the Microsoft Store, and many programs - older Photoshop, Office, print shops, upload forms - do not read AVIF at all. Converting to JPG fixes that.

A little, because JPG is lossy too. At quality 90 the difference is very hard to see. Pick 95-100 for printing, or use AVIF to PNG for an exact, lossless copy.

AVIF compresses about twice as well as JPG, so the same picture takes more bytes as a JPG. Lower the quality to 80, or resize, to bring it down.

JPG cannot store transparency, so they are filled with white by default. Pick any background colour under Background, or use AVIF to PNG to keep them transparent.

Yes. The frames show up under the preview - tick the ones you want and each becomes a JPG. For a moving result use AVIF to GIF.

Up to 50 AVIF files per batch. Recent conversions stay in this browser, so you can download them again later.
