AV1 Image File Format — convert AVIF files to and from other formats.
AVIF is a modern image format built on the AV1 video codec. It supports transparency and high dynamic range, and it often produces the smallest files of any web image format at a given quality. Encoding is slower than for JPG or WebP, and older browsers and some apps cannot open it.

Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark. To keep the service available for everyone there is a 95MB limit per file and a cap on how many files one connection can process in a short period.
Your upload is used only to make the converted file. Images are processed in memory; other files are written to a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes. Nothing is kept after the result has been sent back.
For images, a little, by design: the image is re-encoded at the Quality you choose (default 75%). Audio and video are re-encoded with high-quality settings; documents keep their text and layout as far as the target format allows. Converting never restores detail that is already missing from the original.
