How to convert JPG to AVIF

YYou want transparency, higher visual quality, or to work in an editing pipeline that needs exact pixel preservation. Web performance is your #1 priority and you accept marginal compatibility trade-off.

A lossy-compressed image format created by the Joint Photographic Experts Group in 1992. It's the most universal photo format — every browser, app, and OS opens JPG without anything extra.

• —Photos with lots of detail and color variation
• —Images sent over email or social media
• —Cases where file size matters more than absolute quality
• —Mid-quality print material

A next-generation format based on the AV1 video codec, released in 2019. Compresses even further than WebP — typically 30-50% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality. Adopted by Netflix, YouTube, and increasingly by big sites for performance-critical images.

• —Sites obsessed with Core Web Vitals
• —Hero images and heavy banners
• —E-commerce where latency hits conversion
• —Content distributed over bandwidth-limited networks

1. Upload the file

Drag your JPG file into the upload area, or click to select it from your computer. You can upload several files at once — they'll be converted in batch.

2. Check the quality setting

AVIF has adjustable quality in most cases. Leave it at 85-90% for the best size/quality balance. For professional material, bump it to 95-100%.

3. Click convert and download

Processing is near-instant (seconds per image) because it happens right in your browser. When it's done, download each file individually or all together as a ZIP.

Before converting, it's worth understanding what each format brings to the table:

JPG — best for:

• —Photos with lots of detail and color variation
• —Images sent over email or social media
• —Cases where file size matters more than absolute quality
• —Mid-quality print material

JPG — limitations:

• —No transparency (background is always opaque)
• —Repeated compression degrades quality (visible artifacts)
• —Not ideal for graphics with text, fine lines, or flat color areas

AVIF — best for:

• —Sites obsessed with Core Web Vitals
• —Hero images and heavy banners
• —E-commerce where latency hits conversion
• —Content distributed over bandwidth-limited networks

AVIF — limitations:

• —Support still smaller than WebP on very old browsers
• —Slower encoding (but fast decoding)
• —Editors and design tools still catching up

Typical scenarios where this conversion solves a real problem:

• —Photos with lots of detail and color variation
• —Images sent over email or social media
• —Sites obsessed with Core Web Vitals
• —Hero images and heavy banners
