Image to AVIF Converter

Convert Image to AVIF Online

AVIF (the AV1 Image File Format) is the modern web-delivery format that usually beats both JPEG and WebP on file size at the same visual quality, while adding 10- and 12-bit color, HDR, and alpha transparency. Drop in JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF, BMP, GIF, or a camera RAW (NEF, CR2/CR3, ARW, DNG, RW2 and more) and get a compact AVIF back. It is the right choice when your goal is shrinking a photo library or serving smaller images to modern browsers.

How to Convert Image to AVIF

1. Upload Your Image File: Drag and drop your images onto the page or click "+ Add Files." JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, TIFF, BMP, GIF, and RAW formats are all accepted, and you can queue several at once.
2. Pick a Quality Preset: Open Advanced Options and choose a Quality Preset — "Very High" is the recommended default. Lower presets compress harder and produce smaller files.
3. Set a Target Size or Resolution (Optional): Switch to "Target file size (%)" to aim for a percentage of the original, or use Image resolution to downscale with a preset (1080p, 768p) or exact width and height.
4. Convert and Download: Click "Convert" and download your AVIF. No sign-up, no watermark.

AVIF vs WebP vs JPEG

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose quality converting JPEG to AVIF, and how much smaller is it?

AVIF encoding is lossy by default, so converting an already-lossy JPEG re-encodes it — a second generation that can soften fine detail slightly. It is not a way to recover detail JPEG already discarded, but the payoff is size: Google's own testing reports greater than 50% savings versus JPEG at comparable quality, and AVIF is often smaller than WebP too. In our testing, re-encoding a typical 4 MB JPEG photo at the "Very High" preset produced an AVIF roughly half the size with no obvious visible difference at normal viewing distance. Converting a lossless source like PNG is where AVIF shines most: it typically cuts file size dramatically while preserving the original pixels closely.

Which browsers and apps can open AVIF files?

Native browser support sits around 93% globally: Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, Safari 16.4+, Edge 121+, and Opera 71+ all decode AVIF without flags. Desktop software is patchier — recent macOS and Windows builds preview AVIF, but older photo viewers and some editors may need an extension or not open it at all. If you need a file for legacy software, convert to JPG or PNG instead.

Can I convert a RAW photo straight to AVIF?

Yes. Camera RAW formats including NEF (Nikon), CR2/CR3 (Canon), ARW (Sony), DNG, ORF, RW2, and several others are accepted as input and rendered to AVIF. This is a practical way to archive a shoot at a fraction of the RAW file size while keeping AVIF's higher bit depth, though a RAW file carries editing latitude that any final image format, AVIF included, does not preserve.

Does converting a GIF to AVIF keep the animation?

A GIF converts to a single still AVIF image here, not an animated one. The AVIF specification does support image sequences, but for moving content a modern video format is usually the better target — and a still AVIF is ideal when you only need one clean frame from the GIF.

Are my uploaded images kept private?

Files are uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed on our servers, and deleted automatically a few hours after conversion — no sign-up, no watermark, never shared or made public. To compress AVIF, JPG, or PNG files without changing format, use the Image Compressor instead.
