Save each file, or grab them all at once as a ZIP.
AVIF is a newer, highly efficient format, but support for opening and editing AVIF files is still less universal than JPEG, especially in older software, some email clients, and certain content management systems. This tool decodes an AVIF image and re-encodes it as JPEG so it can be used anywhere a standard photo format is expected.
As with any conversion to JPEG, transparency (where present) is filled with solid white, and the result is a lossy JPEG at the quality you choose. For most ordinary photos this is a straightforward, reliable way to get a widely compatible file.
The AVIF file is uploaded over an encrypted connection and converted on our own servers in the EU; we do not keep the original, and the JPEG is deleted within one hour. AVIF files are often very efficient, so expect the JPEG result to be noticeably larger even at a similar visual quality; that's an expected trade for broader compatibility, not a sign of an error.
Where AVIF files come from
AVIF was published in 2019 by the Alliance for Open Media, the group behind the AV1 video codec, and it stores a still picture with that codec's tools. Hardly anyone creates one on purpose. They turn up when you save a picture from a website whose image service hands out AVIF to browsers that accept it, or when a design tool or a converter exports one because it is the smallest option on the list. The file is excellent and very small, and then the program you need it in has never heard of it.
What changes on the way to JPEG
A JPEG is always eight bits per channel. An AVIF may hold ten or twelve bits, a wider range of colours and, in HDR pictures, highlights far brighter than paper white. All of that is brought down to a standard eight-bit picture during conversion. Ordinary photos look the same afterwards. An HDR AVIF can look flatter or a little darker as a JPG, because the format has nowhere to keep the extra brightness.
The file also grows. AVIF is roughly twice as efficient as JPEG, so a 150 KB AVIF often becomes a 300 to 400 KB JPG at this page's starting quality of 85.
If JPEG turns out too large
You have two ways to hold the size down. Lower the quality toward 75, which most photos tolerate well, or switch to Target size and name the number of kilobytes you can afford. When the destination is a website or an app instead of an old program, think about WebP as the middle road: it opens almost everywhere AVIF does not, keeps transparency, and is noticeably smaller than JPEG.
Frequently asked questions
Why would I need to convert away from AVIF?
Mainly for compatibility with older software, email clients or systems that don't yet support AVIF.
Does this lose image quality?
Some, since JPEG is lossy; choose a higher quality setting to minimise it.
What happens to transparency in an AVIF file?
It's filled with solid white in the JPEG output.
Can I convert AVIF to other formats too?
Yes. This page starts on JPEG, but in the editor you can switch the output format to PNG, WebP, GIF or TIFF before you download.
Do browsers not show AVIF already?
They do: Chrome since version 85, Firefox since 93, Safari since 16 and Edge since 121. The gaps are elsewhere, in email programs, office software, older phones and many upload forms.
Is AVIF the same thing as HEIC?
They are cousins. Both use the same kind of container, with a different codec inside: AV1 for AVIF, HEVC for the HEIC photos an iPhone takes. HEIC has its own converter on this site.
