Convert AVIF to JPG
Found a downloaded image that no software will open? It is probably AVIF, the next-generation web image format. Drop it below and get a JPG copy that opens anywhere, all decoded and re-encoded inside your browser.
How to convert AVIF to JPG
- Drop your AVIF files into the box.
- The browser decodes each AVIF natively and a Canvas re-encodes it as a high-quality JPG.
- Download the JPG copies individually or in a batch.
Why convert AVIF to JPG?
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is fast becoming the default image format on the modern web because it produces files 30–50% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality. The downside for end users is that many image viewers, classic editors and older platforms still cannot open .avif files. Converting AVIF to JPG is the fastest way to make a downloaded picture usable in Photoshop, Word, PowerPoint, older WordPress installs, e-commerce upload forms, government portals and any tool that pre-dates 2023. The conversion is one-way (some quality is lost on re-encode), so keep the AVIF original if you may need to re-export later. Browser support for AVIF decoding is excellent in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari 16.4+ and Opera, which lets us decode any AVIF locally and write a JPG out via Canvas — no server, no upload, no signup.
How we compare
The closest peer to this tool is Google's Squoosh, which also runs fully in your browser. Squoosh focuses on compression for the modern web and does not handle HEIC or batch conversion. Cloudconvert and Convertio cover more formats but upload your files to their servers and meter usage.

Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded?+
No. AVIF decoding is a browser-native feature; the encode is done by a Canvas. Nothing is sent over the network during conversion.
Will the JPG be larger than the AVIF?+
Yes, usually 1.5–2x larger because JPG is older and less efficient. The visual quality is essentially identical at quality 95.
Does it work in every browser?+
AVIF decoding is supported in Chrome 85+, Edge 121+, Firefox 113+, Safari 16.4+, Opera 71+. Outside these, the tool will fail with a clear error.
What is the file size limit?+
Limited only by browser memory. Hundreds of megabytes per image are fine on desktop.
Does it support animated AVIF?+
No. Only the first frame is converted. For animated AVIF, use a dedicated GIF/MP4 conversion tool.
Why convert at all? Cannot the recipient view AVIF?+
If you control the destination, share AVIF and save bandwidth. If the recipient is using older software, JPG is the safe default.
