Supports: AVIF
.avif downloads all work. Batch is supported — drop in an entire folder of AVIFs from a website save.AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is the most efficient mainstream image format — it stores photos at 50-70% smaller file sizes than JPG at the same visual quality by piggy-backing on the AV1 video codec. Chrome shipped AVIF support in 2020 and Safari followed in macOS 13 / iOS 16 (late 2022). The catch: huge swathes of software, hardware, and workflows still don't accept AVIF in 2026. JPG is the universal photo format and works literally everywhere. Common reasons people convert AVIF → JPG:
.avif. JPG opens in everything back to Windows 95.<picture> elements to capable browsers. Right-click "save image as" usually grabs the .avif bytes. Converting to JPG recovers a universally-usable file.If you want the reverse direction (shrinking JPGs for the web), see JPG to AVIF. For other JPG sources, see PNG to JPG or HEIC to JPG.
| Property | AVIF | JPG (JPEG) |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | AV1 intra-frame (modern) | DCT + quantization (1992) |
| Typical file size for photos | 1× baseline | 2-4× larger than AVIF at same quality |
| Color depth | 8 / 10 / 12-bit per channel | 8-bit per channel |
| HDR support | Yes (HDR10, PQ, HLG) | No |
| Wide gamut | Yes (Rec.2020, P3) | sRGB in practice |
| Transparency | Yes (alpha channel) | No |
| Animation | Yes (animated AVIF) | No |
| Lossless mode | Yes | No (always lossy) |
| Browser support | Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, Safari 16+, Edge 121+ | Universal since 1992 |
| Editor / software support | Limited — many tools still skip | Universal |
| Print service support | Rare | Standard |
| Preset | Approx. quality % | Typical photo size (12 MP) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Highest | 95-100 | 4-7 MB | Print, archive, post-edit master |
| High | 85-94 | 2-4 MB | Magazine print, large displays |
| Medium | 70-84 | 800 KB - 2 MB | Web, social media, email |
| Low | 50-69 | 300-800 KB | Previews, thumbnails, draft email |
| Lowest | 1-49 | 50-300 KB | Tiny thumbnails (visible blocking) |
A little, but usually not perceptibly at quality 85+. AVIF is more compression-efficient than JPG, so the JPG output of the same photo will be 2-4× larger than the AVIF source for the same visual fidelity. JPG also can't carry HDR, wide-gamut Rec.2020 / P3 colors, 10-bit / 12-bit depth, or alpha. If your AVIF was a standard 8-bit sRGB photo (the common case), the JPG conversion at quality 90+ is visually indistinguishable from the source.
AVIF uses the AV1 codec's intra-frame compression — it's roughly twice as efficient as JPG at the same visual quality. A 500 KB AVIF photo typically becomes a 1-2 MB JPG. That's the cost of universal compatibility. To keep file sizes manageable, drop quality to Medium (around 75%) or use the file size percentage / exact size targeting in step 2.
No — JPG doesn't support transparency. If your AVIF has an alpha channel (logos, icons, cut-out subjects), the conversion will composite it against a solid background (white by default). For images that need transparency preserved, convert to AVIF to PNG instead — PNG keeps the alpha channel intact.
Animated AVIF (used for short loops, like animated stickers) can't fit into a still JPG. The conversion extracts the first frame and saves it as a JPG. If you need the full animation, convert to AVIF to GIF for broad compatibility, or AVIF to MP4 if size matters more than universal playback.
Yes by default — camera, lens, ISO, shutter speed, GPS coordinates, and capture date transfer from the AVIF metadata into the JPG's standard EXIF segment. If you want to strip metadata for privacy before sharing publicly, look for the "remove EXIF" option in advanced settings.
72 or 96 DPI for screen-only use (web, social, email, presentations). 150 DPI for inkjet draft prints. 300 DPI is the standard for high-quality offset printing, magazines, and photo prints up to 8×10. 600+ DPI is for fine-art reproductions and large-format work where the print is viewed close up. Note: setting a higher DPI doesn't add resolution — it just tells the printer how dense to lay down the existing pixels.
Yes — drop in entire folders of AVIFs (a website save, a Squoosh export batch, downloaded marketplace listings). Each file converts in parallel within your browser session and downloads individually or as a single ZIP. Settings can apply uniformly to the batch or be customized per-file.
Modern sites use the <picture> element to serve AVIF to capable browsers and JPG / WebP fallbacks to older ones. AVIF cuts page weight by 30-50% versus JPG, which speeds up Core Web Vitals scores (LCP, INP) and saves CDN bandwidth. Right-click "Save image as" on Chrome / Firefox / Safari 16+ saves the .avif bytes — converting after saving recovers a JPG suitable for editing, sharing, and printing.
Yes — see JPG to AVIF for the reverse direction. Useful when you want to re-shrink a finished JPG before publishing it back to a modern website where smaller files matter for page-load performance.
