Free AVIF to JPG Converter
SmarterSources's AVIF to JPG converter transforms modern AVIF images into universally compatible JPEG format directly in your browser. AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a next-generation image format based on the AV1 video codec that delivers exceptional compression. While it's increasingly used on the web, many applications, email clients, and older systems still don't support it. Converting to JPG ensures your images work everywhere.
What Is AVIF?
AVIF is a modern image format developed by the Alliance for Open Media. It uses the AV1 video codec to achieve dramatically better compression than JPEG and even WebP — often 50% smaller files at equivalent visual quality. Major browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Safari now support AVIF, and tech companies like Netflix, Google, and Apple are adopting it for web content delivery.
Why Convert AVIF to JPG?
Despite its advantages, AVIF is not yet universally supported. Many image editors, social media platforms, document tools, and email clients cannot open AVIF files. Converting to JPG gives you a format that works on virtually every device, application, and platform ever made. JPG has been the standard image format for decades and offers excellent compatibility for photos and general-purpose images.
Browser Support for AVIF
This tool requires a browser that can decode AVIF images. AVIF is supported in Chrome 85+ (released August 2020), Firefox 93+ (released October 2021), and Safari 16.4+ (released March 2023). If your browser doesn't support AVIF, the tool will show a compatibility warning. We recommend using the latest version of Chrome or Firefox for the best experience.
Privacy Guarantee
SmarterSources converts your AVIF files entirely within your browser using the Canvas API. No files are uploaded to any server. Your images never leave your device, making this the most private AVIF to JPG converter available online.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is AVIF and why would I have AVIF files?
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern image format that offers superior compression compared to JPEG and WebP. You might encounter AVIF files when downloading images from modern websites, receiving them from newer smartphones, or when web applications save images in this format for efficiency. If you need to open, edit, or share these images and your software doesn't support AVIF, converting to JPG solves the compatibility issue.
Which browsers support AVIF?
AVIF is supported in Chrome 85+ (August 2020), Firefox 93+ (October 2021), Edge 121+ (January 2024), and Safari 16.4+ (March 2023). If your browser is older than these versions, it cannot decode AVIF images and you'll see a compatibility warning. Updating your browser to the latest version will resolve this.
Will the JPG file be larger than the original AVIF?
In many cases, yes. AVIF achieves significantly better compression than JPEG, so the converted JPG may be larger than the original AVIF file. However, the tradeoff is universal compatibility — JPG files can be opened by virtually any device or application. The quality slider lets you control the JPG compression level to find the right balance between file size and visual quality.
Can I convert multiple AVIF files at once?
Yes! Drag and drop multiple AVIF files or select them with the file picker. All files will be converted with the same quality settings, and you can download them individually or all at once. There is no limit to the number of files you can convert in a single batch.
Is my data safe? Are files uploaded anywhere?
Your files never leave your device. All conversion happens 100% in your browser using JavaScript and the HTML5 Canvas API. No data is sent to any server. This makes SmarterSources the most private option for converting AVIF files online.
