Convert AVIF to JPG so the photo opens anywhere
AVIF fits a sharp photo into a small file, which is why newer phones and websites have adopted it. Plenty of software still cannot open one. JPG opens everywhere.

- Recompressed once
- Leaves your device
- Never
Which output should you pick?
Choose JPG when
- You need a file every editor, printer and upload form accepts.
- The photo has no transparent areas.
- You need it to open everywhere more than you need it to be small.
Choose PNG instead when
- The image has a transparent background you need to keep.
- You will edit it further and do not want more compression.
- It is a screenshot or a graphic rather than a photo.
How it works
Choose your AVIF file
The image is opened locally in this tab, on your own device.
JPG is already selected
This page opens with JPG as the target, so no setting needs changing.
Set the quality
Higher quality means a larger file. Around 90 is visually indistinguishable for most photos.
The picture never leaves your device
Compressing or converting a photo usually means sending it to somebody else's computer and getting a new one back. Here the work happens in the page you are already looking at: your browser opens the file, the tool rewrites it, and the browser hands you the result.
- Opened from your disk by your browser — not sent anywhere first.
- Held in the tab while the tool works, then dropped.
- Saved to your device by your browser, not by a link to a server.
- Closing the tab clears the working copy completely.
- No account, so nothing is ever attached to an identity.
- No tracking of what you worked on or what was inside the file.
There is no queue and no waiting room. The picture is worked on in front of you and released the moment the tab closes. You can read more about how the conversion runs on your own device, or check our guide to verifying it in DevTools.
What people use it for
Making a format open everywhere
PNG, JPG and WebP each suit different jobs. Convert once and stop worrying about which app can read the file.
Shipping a lighter page
Hero images are usually the heaviest thing on a site. Getting them smaller before they reach your CMS is the fastest performance win available.
Sending photos on a weak signal
On hotel Wi-Fi or a poor mobile connection a full-resolution photo can sit at sending for minutes. A smaller copy goes through in seconds.
Preparing marketplace listings
Selling platforms set their own caps on size and dimensions. Get inside them before you start filling in the form.

When something goes wrong
Damaged files, and formats outside the list above, stop with a plain message rather than a spinner that never finishes. If a picture opens in your gallery it will normally open here.
The format is not supported. Convert it to PNG or JPG first, or try one of the other image tools.
Why not an upload site
An upload-based tool is a form that posts your picture to someone else's machine. Take that step out and a lot of small annoyances disappear with it.

Questions
What is an AVIF file?
A newer image format that stores a photo in a good deal less space than JPG at the same visual quality. It is what many websites now serve and what newer phones can save. The catch is that plenty of desktop software, older editors and upload forms still cannot open one.
Which browsers can open AVIF?
Chrome and Edge 85 and newer, Firefox 93 and newer, and Safari 16 and newer. On anything older this page cannot read the file, and it will say so plainly rather than handing back an empty or broken image.
Will the file get bigger?
Usually yes. JPG is less efficient than AVIF, so the same picture takes up more space. Lowering the quality setting reduces this, and above about 90 the difference is rarely visible.
What happens to transparent areas?
JPG has no transparency at all, so any see-through regions are filled with white. If you need to keep them, convert to PNG instead — that preserves them exactly.
Does converting lose quality?
Saving into JPG applies one round of compression. At a good quality setting the difference is not something you will see on screen, but the loss is real and it adds up, so keep the original AVIF if you plan to edit further.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit is imposed by the tool. The practical ceiling is how much memory your device has free, because the whole job runs inside this browser tab.
