AVIF is a newer image format built on the same underlying technology as the AV1 video codec, and it compresses even more efficiently than WebP, which is why streaming services and image-heavy websites have started serving it to cut load times further. Chrome, Firefox, and Safari can all display AVIF today, but plenty of older phones, photo editors, and apps outside the browser still have no idea what to do with a .avif file. This tool converts AVIF images to standard JPGs that open in virtually anything, running the whole conversion locally so nothing needs to be uploaded first.
How it works
1. Add your AVIF file
Drag a .avif file into the box above, or tap to select it from wherever you saved it. Files saved directly from a website's right-click menu work the same way as ones sent to you by someone else, since the tool reads the file itself rather than caring how it arrived on your device. It loads straight into your browser's memory, with no upload step and no remote server involved before conversion begins.
2. Conversion to JPG runs in your browser
The AV1-based decoder unpacks the AVIF file's compressed data and redraws it onto a JPG at a quality setting tuned to stay close to the source, all inside your browser's own sandbox rather than on a remote server. AVIF's more aggressive compression means the resulting JPG usually comes out a bit heavier than the AVIF you started with — a fair trade for a format that opens almost everywhere.
3. Download your JPG
The resulting .jpg file opens in any photo viewer, editor, messaging app, or upload form, including programs that do not yet support AVIF. Your original .avif file stays untouched on your device. To convert several images together, use Bulk Image Converter and download the batch as one ZIP.
