JPG to AVIF Conversion Quality Settings

The quality setting affects the compression level of the AVIF image:

  • 90-100%: Maximum quality, minimal compression, larger file size with virtually no visual loss
  • 65-85%: Standard quality, good compression, smaller files with barely noticeable quality loss
  • 50-60%: Medium quality, excellent compression, very small files with acceptable quality
  • 30-45%: Low quality, maximum compression, smallest files but visible artifacts may appear

Advantages of Converting JPG to AVIF

  • Superior compression compared to JPEG (up to 50% smaller files)
  • Better preservation of colors and details at equivalent file sizes
  • Reduced blocking artifacts common in JPEG compression
  • Supports HDR and wide color gamut images (unlike JPEG)
  • Growing support in modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and more)

Important Notes

  • AVIF is a newer format, so compatibility with older browsers is limited
  • For best web compatibility, consider providing JPEG fallbacks
  • For photographs, 75-85% provides an excellent balance of quality and size
  • For web images, 65-75% often provides optimal results

FAQ - JPG to AVIF Conversion

What is AVIF format? +

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern image format based on the AV1 video codec. It offers superior compression and quality compared to traditional JPEG images. AVIF can reduce file sizes by up to 50% compared to JPEG while maintaining the same visual quality, and often with fewer compression artifacts.

Why convert JPG to AVIF? +

Converting JPG to AVIF offers several benefits: significantly smaller file sizes (up to 50% reduction), better image quality at equivalent file sizes, fewer compression artifacts, and support for HDR and wide color gamut that JPEG lacks. Smaller file sizes mean faster website loading times, reduced bandwidth usage, and improved SEO rankings through better page speed scores.

Will I lose image quality when converting from JPG to AVIF? +

No, in most cases you'll actually get better quality at the same file size. AVIF's compression algorithm is more advanced than JPEG's, allowing it to preserve more details and colors while eliminating many compression artifacts common in JPEG files. At equivalent quality settings, AVIF files will be much smaller than their JPEG counterparts.

Which browsers support AVIF? +

AVIF is supported in Chrome (version 85+), Firefox (version 86+), and Edge (version 90+). Safari has implemented support in newer versions. For browsers that don't support AVIF, you can use the HTML picture element to provide fallback formats like JPEG. Browser support continues to grow as AVIF becomes more established.

How do I use the quality slider? +

The quality slider lets you control the compression level of your AVIF images. Higher values (75-100%) maintain better visual quality but result in larger files. Lower values (30-60%) produce significantly smaller files but may introduce some visual artifacts. For most photographic content, the default 75% setting provides an excellent balance between quality and file size.

Is there a limit to how many files I can convert? +

Yes, you can convert up to 20 JPG files at once, with a maximum size of 10MB per file. This limit helps ensure fast processing times and reliable service for all users.

Is my data secure? +

Yes. We don't store your images permanently. They are automatically deleted after 24 hours, and we never access or view your content. The conversion process happens on our secure servers, and your original files are never shared with third parties.

How do I use AVIF images on my website? +

For websites, we recommend using the HTML picture element with fallbacks for browsers that don't support AVIF yet. Here's a basic example:

<picture>
  <source srcset="image.avif" type="image/avif">
  <img src="image.jpg" alt="Description">
</picture>

This code will use the AVIF version in supporting browsers and fall back to the original JPG in browsers that don't support AVIF.
