Convert AVIF to JPG Online — Free
Convert AVIF to JPG online — get a universally-compatible JPG from any AVIF. Useful when an editor, CMS, or older app rejects the newer format.
How to convert AVIF to JPG
- 1
Add your AVIF file
Drop or select a .avif file. Files up to 50MB process locally in your browser — nothing uploaded.
- 2
Run the conversion
We decode your AVIF using the browser's native AVIF decoder (Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, Safari 16+, Edge 121+), draw it onto a Canvas, then re-encode as JPG at your chosen quality. Transparency is flattened to white because JPG has no alpha.
- 3
Download your JPG
One click saves the result as a .jpg file. Your original file stays on your device.
Why convert AVIF to JPG?
AVIF delivers roughly 50% smaller files than JPG at matched quality, but adoption in non-browser software is still lagging. Photoshop added AVIF support in version 24 (late 2022), Windows needs the HEIF Image Extension, and most email clients, WordPress versions below 6.5, Squarespace, and legacy CMSes still reject AVIF on upload. Converting to JPG trades file size for near-universal compatibility.
Common AVIF to JPG use cases
- Uploading an AI-generated image (Midjourney and Stable Diffusion often export AVIF) to a platform that rejects it
- Emailing a screenshot saved as AVIF to a Windows 10 user whose Photos app can't open it without the HEIF extension
- Inserting an AVIF into a Word, PowerPoint, or Google Slides deck — Office doesn't support AVIF natively
- Printing AVIF photos through a print service or local print driver that only accepts JPG or TIFF
What file size to expect
A 3000×2000 AVIF at quality 75 is typically 250-400 KB. The resulting JPG at quality 92 is usually 800 KB-1.4 MB — roughly 3× larger, but still far smaller than an equivalent PNG. Smaller AVIFs at quality 55-65 (common for web optimization) can produce JPG outputs 4-5× their original size.
Technical notes: AVIF → JPG
AVIF uses the AV1 video codec applied to still images, with chroma subsampling at 4:2:0 by default. When we re-encode to JPG, any HDR or 10-bit color information is tone-mapped to 8-bit sRGB — AVIF's wider gamut is lost. ICC profiles from the source AVIF are dropped by the Canvas API, so if your AVIF was tagged Display P3 or Rec. 2020, colors may shift slightly on wide-gamut displays. For color-critical work, re-tag the JPG in your editor after conversion.
Compatibility and browser support
Browser AVIF decoding was stable in Chrome and Firefox by 2021 but only reached Safari in iOS 16 (Sept 2022). If a visitor on iOS 15 or older loads this page, decoding will fail — they'll need a newer browser or device. JPG output is universally supported.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the JPG be larger than the AVIF?
Yes — typically 2-4× larger. AVIF's compression is more efficient than JPG's baseline DCT. If size matters and you don't need JPG specifically, try WebP instead — about 1.5× the AVIF size with far better software support than AVIF.
What happens to AVIF transparency?
JPG has no alpha channel, so transparent pixels become white. If you need transparency, convert AVIF to PNG or WebP instead.
Why does Photoshop fail to open my AVIF?
Photoshop needs version 24.0 (October 2022) or later for native AVIF support. Earlier versions require the Camera Raw update or a third-party plugin. Converting to JPG bypasses this entirely.
Does the conversion preserve EXIF and camera metadata?
No. Canvas-based re-encoding drops EXIF, GPS, ICC profile, and orientation tags. If you need metadata, use a desktop tool like ImageMagick with -define preserve-exif.
Can I batch-convert multiple AVIFs?
Yes — drop several at once and each is processed sequentially in your browser. Files stay local; nothing uploads.
Is there a quality difference at matched file size?
At the same KB, AVIF looks noticeably better than JPG, especially on skin tones and gradients. Going AVIF → JPG is a one-way quality trade — you're accepting some compression loss to gain compatibility.
