- Download JPG files individually, or grab all converted images as a ZIP.
Quick fact about AVIF
AVIF is built on the royalty-free AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media, and typically produces files 50% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality. Browser support only became universal in 2024.
Why convert AVIF to JPG?
AVIF delivers better compression than JPG, but its support is still uneven: Windows 10 without codecs cannot display AVIF, Photoshop CS6 and earlier can't open it, and older email clients and CMS platforms reject AVIF uploads. Converting AVIF to JPG guarantees that any device, browser, application, or online form can open the image — at the cost of a larger file size.
AVIF vs JPG
| Attribute | AVIF | JPG |
|---|---|---|
| Container | AVIF (ISOBMFF) | JFIF / EXIF (JPEG stream) |
| Compression algorithm | AV1 (lossy) | DCT (lossy) |
| Typical file size | ~50% smaller than JPG | Baseline reference |
| Alpha channel | Supported | Not supported |
| HDR support | Supported (10-bit, Rec. 2020) | Limited (8-bit) |
| Compatibility | Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, Safari 16+ | Universal since 1995 |
| Best for | Modern web, bandwidth-sensitive sites | Everywhere including legacy systems |
Technical details
| Input format | AVIF, AVIFS (image sequence) |
| Output format | JPG (JPEG) |
| Compression | Lossy (JPEG at 92% quality) |
| Input codec | AV1 (AOMedia Video 1) |
| Transparency | Lost (JPG has no alpha channel) |
| Max file size | 50 MB per file |
| Batch processing | Supported |
| EXIF metadata | Preserved by default |
| File retention | Auto-deleted after conversion |
How the conversion works
The converter decodes the AV1-based image stream inside the AVIF container and re-encodes it as a JPEG using libjpeg at 92% quality. EXIF metadata (camera, GPS, timestamp) is preserved. If the AVIF image has transparency, it is composited onto a white background because JPG has no alpha channel.
When to convert AVIF to JPG
- Uploading AVIF images to forms that accept only JPG or PNG.
- Opening AVIF images on Windows 10 without the AV1 codec installed.
- Editing AVIF photos in Photoshop CS6 or older image software.
- Attaching AVIF images to email clients that reject the format.
- Publishing AVIF images on legacy CMS platforms that don't support AVIF uploads.
- Sharing AVIF images with users on browsers released before 2020.
- Preparing AVIF images for print workflows that require JPG or TIFF.
Quality considerations
AVIF to JPG conversion is lossy — the output uses 92% JPEG quality, which is visually lossless for screen viewing and photo printing up to A3 size. Because AVIF files are so efficient, the JPG output is typically 50-100% larger than the source. Some quality loss is unavoidable because both formats use lossy compression, but at 92% quality the difference is not perceptible under normal viewing conditions.
Limitations and caveats
- JPG does not support transparency — transparent AVIF areas become white.
- HDR metadata is not preserved — JPG is an 8-bit format.
- JPG files are typically 50-100% larger than the source AVIF.
- Live Photo and image sequence data are not preserved (only the primary image).
- Repeated AVIF → JPG → AVIF round-trips accumulate lossy artifacts.
Compatibility
- Output JPG works on every OS released in the last 30 years.
- Accepted by all email clients, browsers, and social platforms.
- Native import in every image editor, including Photoshop CS6 and GIMP.
- Works with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 without any codec install.
- Opens in every email client, CMS, and web form.
Tips for best results
- Batch-upload up to 50 MB of AVIF files at once.
- Use JPG when compatibility matters; keep AVIF when size matters and you control the viewer.
- If the source AVIF was a webpage asset, consider keeping AVIF and serving WebP as a fallback.
- EXIF metadata (camera, GPS, timestamp) is preserved.
- Files are auto-deleted after conversion — nothing is retained long-term.
Common problems and fixes
- Converted JPG is much larger than the AVIF original
- This is expected. AVIF compresses far more efficiently than JPG. Typical JPG output is 50-100% larger than the AVIF source for the same visual quality. If size matters more than universal compatibility, keep the AVIF.
- Transparent areas in AVIF are white in the JPG
- JPG does not support transparency. Transparent AVIF areas are automatically composited onto a white background. Use PNG or WebP instead if you need to preserve transparency.
- Some photos look different after conversion
- AVIF supports HDR (10-bit, Rec. 2020) and wide color gamut. Standard JPG is 8-bit sRGB. Colors are mapped to sRGB automatically — most photos look identical, but very saturated or HDR content may appear slightly flatter.
