Convert AVIF to JPG Online — Universal Compatibility

Universal compatibility. While AVIF has excellent compression, it's only supported by 92% of browsers (Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, Safari 16.4+). Convert to JPG when you need:

• Email compatibility: Outlook, Apple Mail, Gmail don't support AVIF
• Social media: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn require JPG/PNG for profile images
• Legacy systems: Older browsers (IE, Safari 15 and earlier) can't display AVIF
• Printing & PDF: Many design tools and print services expect JPG/PNG
• Sharing with non-technical users: JPG opens everywhere, no questions asked

Yes, files will be 2-3× larger (100-200%), but compatibility is often more important than file size.

JPG does not support transparency. AVIF images with an alpha channel (transparency) will have the transparent areas flattened to a white background (#FFFFFF) during conversion.

Why white? White is the most common background color for web and print. If you need a different background color or want to preserve transparency, try our AVIF to PNG converter for lossless conversion with full alpha channel support.

Example: An AVIF logo with transparent background → JPG logo with white background.

Converted to sRGB. AVIF supports wide color gamut (HDR) with 10-bit or 12-bit color depth. JPG is limited to 8-bit sRGB. During conversion, we automatically convert the color space to sRGB, which may result in:

• Reduced color range: Vibrant colors outside sRGB gamut are clipped
• Banding in gradients: 12-bit → 8-bit reduces smooth transitions
• Loss of HDR highlights: Bright highlights may appear washed out

For most web and print uses, this is acceptable. If you need to preserve HDR color for professional editing, use PNG or keep the AVIF original.

AVIF to JPG conversion typically results in 2-3× larger files (100-200% increase) because AVIF uses cutting-edge AV1 compression—the most efficient image codec available.

Examples:

• 500 KB AVIF photo → 1.0-1.5 MB JPG (2-3× larger)
• 1 MB AVIF portrait → 2.0-3.0 MB JPG (2-3× larger)
• 2 MB AVIF landscape → 4.0-6.0 MB JPG (2-3× larger)

We encode JPG at Quality 90 to preserve visual fidelity. The size increase is the trade-off for universal compatibility.

Format comparison:

• JPG: 100% browser support, universally compatible with email, social media, legacy systems. Larger file sizes. Use when compatibility is critical.
• AVIF: Best compression (50% smaller than JPG), 92% browser support. Use for modern web delivery with <picture> fallback.
• WebP: Good compression (25-35% smaller than JPG), 93% browser support. Best balance of compression and compatibility without fallback. Try our AVIF to WebP converter for wider browser reach.

Recommendation: Use AVIF for modern web delivery (with fallback), convert to JPG for email, social media, or legacy systems.

Minimal quality loss for most uses. We encode JPG at Quality 90, which preserves excellent photographic quality. For web, social media, and print applications, the output is visually indistinguishable from the AVIF original.

Important limitations:

• Lossy-to-lossy: Both AVIF and JPG are lossy formats. Converting introduces generation loss.
• Transparency removed: Alpha channel flattened to white
• HDR color reduced: Wide gamut converted to 8-bit sRGB

For archival or editing workflows where lossless quality is required, convert to PNG instead. For publishing and sharing, JPG Quality 90 is excellent.

We extract the first frame. Animated AVIF (similar to animated WebP or GIF) outputs a single JPG of the opening frame. Animation cannot be preserved in static JPEG format.

Need to preserve animation?

• Keep as AVIF: If your target supports it (modern browsers)
• Convert to WebP: Animated WebP has 97% browser support
• Convert to GIF: Universal compatibility but larger files and 256-color limit
