Convert JPG to AVIF
Drop JPG files and download them as AVIF. AVIF supports transparency but JPG files have none, so the output is fully opaque; use the crop or background tools if you need cut-outs. Conversion runs on your device, so large batches finish in seconds and nothing is uploaded.
How to use the JPG to AVIF
- Drop or paste your JPG files (up to 200).
- Set the AVIF quality (90 is visually lossless).
- Click Convert to AVIF.
- Download each file or all as a ZIP.
Why convert JPG to AVIF?
JPEG is the universal photo format: every camera, phone, website and printer handles it. It compresses by discarding fine detail the eye does not notice, and it cannot store transparency.
AVIF is based on the AV1 video codec and typically beats WebP by another 20–30% at the same quality, with transparency and HDR support. Browser support is universal since 2024, but many image editors, email clients and upload forms do not accept it yet.
What changes in the conversion
Both formats are lossy. Each re-encode discards a little more detail, so convert from the original where possible and keep quality at 85 or above. AVIF supports transparency but JPG files have none, so the output is fully opaque; use the crop or background tools if you need cut-outs.

How it works on your device
Your browser decodes the JPG file into raw pixels, draws them onto a canvas and asks its built-in encoder to write AVIF (Chrome and Edge; Firefox and Safari cannot yet write AVIF and the tool will say so). Nothing is sent to a server, which is why there is no file-size limit beyond your device's memory and no queue.
