How to convert AVIF to WEBP
- Choose your files. Click Select File or drag your AVIF files into the upload box. You can add many at once.

- Download. Each file appears in the list when it is ready. Download them one by one, or all together with Download all.
Why convert AVIF to WEBP?
AVIF is a newer image format that some older browsers, apps and editors still cannot open. WebP is supported by every current browser and most image tools, so converting AVIF to WebP keeps files small while reaching more people.
When to keep the AVIF
Keep the AVIF if your site only needs to support current browsers: AVIF is often even smaller than WebP.
Tips for the best result
- Quality 80 gives a WebP that looks like the AVIF.
- Transparency is kept.
- Use Resize if the image is bigger than the space it fills on your page.
Common problems and fixes
- The WebP is larger than the AVIF.
- That is normal: AVIF compresses better. Lower Quality to 70 if you need a smaller file.
- The file will not convert.
- Some rare AVIF variants cannot be read. Try saving the picture again from its source.

AVIF – AV1 Image File Format
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.

WEBP – WebP
WebP is an image format developed by Google. It supports lossy and lossless compression, transparency and animation, and at comparable visual quality its files are usually smaller than JPG or PNG. That is why it is popular for websites, and current versions of all major browsers can display it.

How do I convert AVIF to WEBP?
Click Select File or drop your AVIF file onto the upload box. Pick the quality and maximum size, and the converted WebP appears in the list below with a download button. You can add many files at once and download them together as a ZIP.
Is it really free?
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.
Are my files stored?
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.
Will quality drop?
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.
How this works: your file is uploaded over HTTPS and converted on this server with open-source engines (libvips for images, FFmpeg for audio and video, LibreOffice and Pandoc for documents, Calibre for ebooks, Ghostscript and Inkscape for PDF and vector files). Images are processed in memory; other files use a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes.
