JPEG uses lossy compression. Quality 85 produces output that is visually identical to the original for most images.
Drop AVIF files here or click to browse
All processing stays in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
Drop or select your AVIF file
One file or many. Nothing is uploaded, it stays on your device.
Set the JPEG quality
Defaults to 85. Set it before adding files, already-added files keep their quality.
Conversion starts automatically
Each file decodes and re-encodes as JPEG the moment it's added.
Download your JPEG
One file downloads directly, two or more can download together as a ZIP.
AVIF is great for web performance, but many real-world systems still don't support it. Converting to JPEG solves compatibility problems instantly.
Government and official portals
Many national ID, visa and tax portals only accept JPEG or PNG. AVIF files are often rejected at upload.
Job applications and corporate systems
HR portals and company recruitment systems frequently block AVIF files. JPEG ensures your documents are accepted.
Email clients and messaging
Most email services and corporate messaging platforms don't display AVIF images inline. JPEG always works.
Older software and printing
Photoshop versions before 2021, many design tools and print labs don't support AVIF. JPEG is universally accepted.
AVIF is newer than WebP by about a decade, which means its compatibility gap with non-browser software is significantly wider. Chrome added AVIF support in 2020, Firefox in 2021, Safari in 2022. Outside browsers, the format is still largely unknown to the systems people actually need to submit images to. Most desktop image viewers, print kiosks, corporate HR platforms and government portal upload handlers were built before AVIF existed and have never been updated to recognize it. From their perspective, an AVIF file is simply an unrecognized format that gets rejected at the validation step.
The tricky part is how AVIF files arrive on people's devices without them choosing the format. Android devices running recent versions of the operating system can save camera photos as AVIF by default, depending on the manufacturer and settings. AI image generators including Midjourney, Stable Diffusion interfaces and some DALL-E wrappers export outputs as AVIF because it produces the smallest files for the image quality. Screenshot tools on some platforms default to AVIF. Downloading images from websites has the same problem as with WebP, too: the browser saves whatever format the site serves, and modern sites increasingly serve AVIF to supported browsers. You end up with an AVIF file you didn't ask for and a portal that won't take it.
AVIF has better compression than JPEG, sometimes significantly better, which means going from AVIF to JPEG always produces a larger file at equivalent quality. The degree varies by image type. For photographs with complex detail, a 100KB AVIF might become 250 to 400KB as JPEG at quality 85. For simpler images with flat areas and limited color variation, the gap is smaller. This size increase matters most when the JPEG needs to pass a portal's file size limit. If you're converting for a system that requires images under 100KB, the converted JPEG at quality 85 might not pass even if the original AVIF was well under the limit. Dropping quality to 75 or 80 usually brings the JPEG back down while keeping the output acceptable for a profile photo or document attachment. If you still need more reduction, the compress under 100KB tool can target any specific size as a second step.
JPEG is the right output for almost every portal and form submission because it's accepted without question everywhere. There are two cases where PNG makes more sense. The first is when the AVIF has a transparent background, such as a logo or product cutout exported from a design tool, JPEG has no alpha channel at all, so a transparent AVIF won't keep its transparency once converted. The second is when the image will go through further editing before its final use. PNG's lossless encoding means no additional compression artifacts get introduced each time it's saved during the editing process. For either of those situations the AVIF to PNG converter handles the conversion with full alpha channel preservation. For everything else where you just need the file to open and upload without being rejected, JPEG is the straightforward answer.
Adjusting quality after files are already added
The quality slider only applies to files added after you move it. If you want a different quality on a file that's already converting, remove it and drop it in again once the slider is set.
Expecting transparency to carry over
JPEG has no alpha channel, full stop. If the AVIF is a logo or cutout with a transparent background, use the AVIF to PNG converter instead so transparency stays intact.
Not lowering quality for a strict size limit
AVIF to JPEG almost always grows the file size. If you're converting for a portal with a tight KB limit, drop the quality slider first, then run the result through a compress tool if it's still too big.
Dropping a non-AVIF file and assuming something's broken
Files that aren't recognised as AVIF are silently skipped, no error message appears. If a drop seems to do nothing, check the file actually has a .avif extension.
Assuming a big batch will convert instantly
Decoding and encoding both happen in your browser. A large batch of high-resolution AVIF files at high quality will take noticeably longer than a handful of small ones, that's normal, not a stall.
Many government portals, job application systems, insurance platforms, email clients and older software still don't support AVIF files. Converting to JPEG means the image can be opened and uploaded everywhere without being rejected on format grounds.
Usually, yes. AVIF compresses better than JPEG at the same visual quality, so a 100KB AVIF file commonly becomes 200 to 400KB as JPEG. Lowering the quality slider to 75 to 80 brings the size back down while keeping the result usable for most portals.
85, the default, is a good balance for most images, visually close to the original. Drop to 75 or 80 if you need a smaller file for a portal upload. Only go above 90 if you need maximum quality and file size isn't a concern.
No. Quality is applied at the moment a file starts converting. Changing the slider only affects files added after that point. To apply a different quality to a file already in the list, remove it and drop it in again after adjusting the slider.
No. Decoding and encoding both run locally using WebAssembly. Your image never leaves your device.
Yes. Drop or select several AVIF files and each one converts independently. With a single finished file, the download button saves it directly. Once two or more files finish, you get the option to download them all together as one ZIP archive.
There's no fixed file-count limit built into the tool. Very large batches will simply take longer since every file decodes and encodes in your browser rather than on a server.
This tool only accepts files it recognises as AVIF, either by file extension or file type. A file that isn't AVIF is silently skipped rather than showing an error, so if a drop seems to do nothing, double check the file is actually a .avif file.
No. The AVIF is decoded down to raw pixel data before being re-encoded as JPEG, so EXIF metadata, including GPS location and camera details, doesn't carry over to the output file.
JPEG has no alpha channel at all, so any transparency in the source AVIF can't be preserved in the output. If your file relies on a transparent background, such as a logo or product cutout, convert to PNG instead to keep it intact.
Government ID portals, university admission systems, insurance claim forms, many corporate job application portals and older email systems frequently reject AVIF files outright.
Yes, this page is specifically for AVIF to JPG. Use the AVIF to PNG converter if you need a lossless result with transparency preserved, or AVIF to WebP if you want a smaller file than JPEG while keeping broad browser support.
No sign-up. No upload to server. Drop your AVIF file above and download the JPEG in seconds.
