Convert AVIF to JPG

Open an AVIF by saving it as JPG in your browser. The file stays on this device — a free account and no upload.

Drop AVIF images here or click to choosePaste an image (Ctrl + V / Cmd + V)You can add several images at once.

Files are processed in your browser and are not uploaded. Free account: 20 images a day, 10 at a time, 20 MB each.

If you need a different format

Graphics with a clear background should go to AVIF to PNG. A WebP from an older save dialog is WebP to JPG, and an iPhone camera file is HEIC to JPG. Other pairs start at the image converter.

How to convert AVIF to JPG

  1. 1
    Drop a .avif file onto the box, or click to choose files.
  2. 2
    Keep quality on High unless a form is rejecting the file for size.
  3. 3
    Click Convert to JPG. Your browser decodes the AVIF. Nothing is uploaded.
  4. 4
    Download the .jpg and keep the AVIF if you still need the smaller original.

What AVIF is

AVIF is a still image stored with the AV1 video codec, inside a HEIF-style container. It is very efficient: sites that care about page weight use it the way they used to use JPEG, and a saved download is often .avif even when the page just looked like a photo. Chrome, Firefox, and current Safari can display it. A lot of everything else cannot.

That “everything else” is why this page exists. Older Windows photo viewers, some Office builds, print-shop uploaders, school portals, and desktop apps from a few years ago still say the file type is unknown. JPG is the file they open without a codec pack.

Why the JPG may be larger

AV1 is good at photographs. A JPG that looks similar often uses more bytes. You are paying that size for compatibility, the same way a HEIC photo grows when it becomes a JPEG. If the destination already accepts AVIF, do not convert — especially if you are publishing back to the web, where AVIF is a strong delivery format.

US search interest around AVIF is mostly people trying to get out of the format, not into it. Gizmobench, 27 September 2026 measured that direction across AVIF queries. This page does not quote single-keyword volumes that different tools disagree on.

The browser decodes AVIF into an ordinary 8-bit sRGB canvas before the JPG is written. HDR, wide-gamut, and film-grain metadata are not carried over. If those are the reason you saved the AVIF, edit it in a tool that understands them and export a JPG only as a copy.

Transparency and animation

JPG cannot keep a transparent background. Those pixels become white, and the result says so. Use AVIF to PNG for logos and overlays. Animated AVIF is not preserved; you get one still frame. This page is for a picture someone needs to open, not for a clip.

When you should not convert

  • The next app opens AVIF. The original is smaller and closer to what the camera or the site encoded.
  • You are optimizing a website. Serving AVIF (with a JPG fallback) is a publishing choice, not this conversion.
  • You need transparency. PNG, not JPG.
  • Local decode. The AVIF never goes to a Tabpic server.
  • Free account. A free account is required. The work still stays in the browser.
  • Several files. Drop more than one AVIF and download the JPGs together.
  • Sizes in the open. You see the original size and the JPG size before you trust the download.

Frequently asked questions

Why won’t Windows open my AVIF?

Support arrived later than the format. Some PCs open AVIF in Photos after an extension or an update, and many older apps never will. A JPG sidesteps that. If the file is actually .heic from a phone, use the HEIC converter — the icons look similar and the codecs are not.

Does converting AVIF to JPG lose quality?

AVIF is already lossy in the common case. JPG encodes the decoded pixels again. High quality keeps that second step subtle. It does not add detail that AV1 discarded, and it often uses more disk than the AVIF.

Can every browser run this page?

Decoding uses the browser’s own AVIF support. Current Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari can do it. If yours cannot, the file row says so instead of sending the image anywhere. Encoding the JPG is the ordinary canvas path and works even more widely.

What about HDR AVIF?

You get a standard 8-bit JPG. Bright highlights that depended on HDR tone mapping will look like a normal photo. That is a limitation of converting through the browser canvas, and the page does not pretend otherwise.

Will a transparent AVIF stay transparent?

Not as a JPG. Convert to PNG if the clear pixels matter.

Is the file uploaded?

No. Processing stays in the tab. EXIF such as GPS is not copied into the new JPG.
