Why convert JPG to AVIF?
AVIF can make photos around half the size of a JPG at similar quality. For a website with many photos, converting to AVIF can cut page weight dramatically and help pages load faster on mobile.
When to keep the JPG
Keep JPG for email, printing, social media and older software, which may not open AVIF.
Tips for the best result
- Start with Quality 60 to 70: AVIF looks good at lower settings than JPG.
- Resize to the width your site shows, for example Max 1920px, for the biggest saving.
- AVIF takes longer to create than JPG or WebP, so large batches need a little patience.
- Camera data such as GPS location, device model and date is removed from the converted file, so it is safe to share.
Common problems and fixes
- An app will not open the AVIF.
- Current browsers show AVIF, but some editors and older phones cannot. Use JPG to WebP for wider support.
- Fine detail looks smoothed.
- Raise Quality to 75 or 80. AVIF tends to smooth textures at very low settings.

JPG – Joint Photographic Experts Group
JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely used format for photographs. It uses lossy compression, which keeps files small by discarding fine detail the eye is unlikely to miss. It does not support transparency or animation, and virtually every device, browser and app can open it.

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.

Frequently asked questions
How much smaller is AVIF than JPG?
Often 40 to 50 percent at a similar look, though it depends on the photo.
Should I use AVIF or WebP on my website?
AVIF is usually smaller; WebP is faster to make and supported a little more widely. Many sites serve AVIF with a WebP or JPG fallback.
How do I convert JPG to AVIF?
Click Select File or drop your JPG file onto the upload box. Pick the quality and maximum size, and the converted AVIF 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.
