AVIF to JPG Converter
AVIF is the newest web image format — even smaller than WebP — and it's spreading fast across large sites. It's also unreadable by many apps, printers, and upload forms. This page converts AVIF to universal JPG instantly in your browser (any current Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari can decode it).
100% private — this tool runs in your browser. Your image is never uploaded to any server.

Frequently asked questions
Why am I suddenly seeing .avif files?
AVIF compresses roughly 50% smaller than JPG at the same quality, so major sites now serve it to fast, modern browsers. When you save an image from those sites, you get the AVIF your browser was sent.
My converter says the file can't be read. Why?
AVIF decoding arrived in browsers in stages — very old browser versions can't decode it. Update your browser (any release from the last few years works) and the conversion runs locally without issues.
Is JPG or AVIF better quality?
At equal file sizes AVIF wins clearly; at equal quality AVIF is much smaller. Convert to JPG only for compatibility — which is exactly when you need this tool.
What is an AVIF file?
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is the newest web image format, based on the AV1 video codec. It compresses images roughly 50% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality, so large websites increasingly serve it to modern browsers — which is how AVIF files end up in your downloads.
How do I open an AVIF file on Windows?
Windows 11 supports AVIF in the Photos app via the free 'AV1 Video Extension' from the Microsoft Store; Windows 10 support is spottier. The universal fix is converting to JPG on this page — then it opens in anything, including old programs and printers.
How do I save an image as JPG instead of AVIF?
Websites decide which format they serve, so right-click-save gives you whatever was sent — often AVIF. There's no reliable browser setting to force JPG, so the practical workflow is: save the AVIF, then convert it here in one drop.
AVIF vs WebP — which is better?
AVIF generally compresses smaller and handles gradients better; WebP encodes faster and has slightly wider support. As a user downloading images, the difference doesn't matter — both need converting to JPG or PNG when an app doesn't accept them, and we have converters for each.
Can Photoshop open AVIF files?
Recent Photoshop versions (23.5 and later) open AVIF natively. Older versions can't — convert the file to JPG here first, and it will open in any Photoshop version, Lightroom, GIMP, or any other editor.
