AVIF produces files 50% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality — the biggest single-file-size reduction available in mainstream image conversion. Browser support became universal in 2024.
JPG has been the standard for over 30 years, but AVIF is the biggest leap forward since JPG was introduced. AVIF files are 50% smaller at the same visual quality, which means faster page loads, lower bandwidth costs, and better Core Web Vitals scores. Since 2024, every major browser supports AVIF — so it's safe to use in modern web delivery without fallback (though fallbacks are still recommended for the oldest browsers).

The converter decodes the JPG image and re-encodes it as AVIF using libavif at 85% quality. AV1-based compression is significantly more efficient than JPG's DCT, producing files 50% smaller at comparable visual quality. EXIF metadata is preserved by default.
AVIF output uses 85% quality — visually indistinguishable from the source JPG at normal viewing distances. AVIF's compression is significantly more efficient than JPG's, so the output is 40-60% smaller at the same quality level. AVIF also supports HDR and alpha channels, though these are not applicable to typical JPG sources.
