What is AVIF?
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a next-generation image format based on the AV1 video codec. It was created by the Alliance for Open Media — a consortium that includes Google, Netflix, Apple, Mozilla, Amazon, Microsoft, and other tech giants. The format was released in 2019 and has been rapidly adopted by web browsers and major websites.
The key advantage of AVIF is its extraordinary compression efficiency: AVIF images can be up to 50% smaller than equivalent JPG files while maintaining the same visual quality. It also outperforms WebP by 20–30% in compression tests. Beyond size savings, AVIF supports features that JPG cannot: transparency (alpha channel), HDR (10-bit and 12-bit color depth), wide color gamut (beyond sRGB), and even animation (as an alternative to GIF).
Despite these technical advantages, AVIF has a significant limitation: compatibility. While modern web browsers display AVIF images just fine, the format is not yet supported by most desktop software, email clients, social media upload forms, printing services, or older devices. When you save an image from a website in 2025, your browser may save it as .avif — and then you discover that nothing else on your computer can open it. That's where converting AVIF to JPG becomes essential.
Convert AVIF to JPG on Any Device
On Windows
Windows 11 added native AVIF support, so you can preview .avif files in File Explorer and open them in Photos. However, Windows 10 does not support AVIF at all — the files appear as blank icons with no preview. Even on Windows 11, most desktop applications cannot open AVIF: Microsoft Office, older versions of Photoshop (before 2022), Paint, and many image viewers simply won't recognize the format. If you need to attach an image to an email, insert it into a Word document, or upload it to a website that doesn't accept AVIF, converting to JPG is the fastest solution. Just open this page in any browser, upload your .avif file, and download a universally compatible JPG.
On Mac
macOS Ventura (13.0) and later added AVIF support to Preview, Quick Look, and Safari. If you're running macOS Monterey or earlier, your Mac cannot open AVIF files at all. Even on newer macOS versions, many popular apps still don't support AVIF: Keynote, Pages, older Adobe Creative Suite versions, and most third-party image editors will reject .avif files. To use an AVIF image in a presentation, send it via email, or upload it to a service that requires JPG, a quick online conversion is the most practical approach — no need to install any software.
On iPhone / iPad
iOS 16 and later can display AVIF images in Safari, and the Photos app can view them. However, the story changes when you try to do anything beyond viewing: many iOS apps, messaging platforms, and share targets don't recognize AVIF. If you save an image from a website and try to share it via WhatsApp, upload it to Instagram, or attach it in Mail, it may be rejected or appear as an unrecognized file. Converting AVIF to JPG in Safari ensures the image works everywhere on your iPhone — just upload, convert, and save the JPG to your Camera Roll.
On Android
Chrome on Android has supported AVIF since 2020, so you can view AVIF images in the browser. But Android's gallery apps, file managers, and sharing tools often don't recognize AVIF files. Samsung Gallery, Google Photos (older versions), and many third-party apps may show a blank thumbnail or refuse to open the file. When you download an image from a website and it saves as .avif, converting it to JPG makes it compatible with every Android app, messaging service, and social media platform.
On Chromebook
Chrome browser displays AVIF images natively, so you can view them on any web page. However, when you download an AVIF file to your Chromebook, the Files app may not show a preview, and most Android apps available on ChromeOS cannot open it. Since Chromebooks have limited software options and many school-managed devices restrict app installations, a browser-based converter is the most practical — and often the only — way to turn AVIF files into universally compatible JPG images.
About the AVIF Format
AVIF uses the AV1 codec for image compression, which was originally developed for video streaming. This gives it access to decades of video compression research, resulting in remarkably efficient encoding. A typical AVIF photo is 50% smaller than JPG and 20–30% smaller than WebP at the same perceived quality.
AVIF supports 10-bit and 12-bit color depth for HDR content, the BT.2020 wide color gamut, transparency (alpha channel), and even animated sequences. It can handle both lossy and lossless compression. The format is royalty-free and open-source, backed by the Alliance for Open Media.
The main drawback is limited software support outside of web browsers. Encoding is also computationally expensive — creating AVIF files takes significantly longer than creating JPG or WebP files, which is why it's primarily used by large websites that can afford the encoding cost in exchange for bandwidth savings.
About the JPG Format
JPG (JPEG) is the most widely used image format in the world. Created in 1992 by the Joint Photographic Experts Group, it became the universal standard for photographs and has maintained that position for over three decades.
Every device, operating system, application, email client, social media platform, and printing service supports JPG. It uses DCT-based lossy compression that works well for photographs, producing good visual quality at reasonable file sizes. JPG supports 8-bit color depth in the sRGB color space.
JPG does not support transparency (no alpha channel), animation, or HDR. Its compression is less efficient than modern formats like AVIF and WebP. However, its universal compatibility remains unmatched — when you need an image that works absolutely everywhere, JPG is the safest choice.

Why Convert AVIF to JPG?
Open in any software
Most image editors, office suites, and design tools don't support AVIF yet. Converting to JPG lets you open, edit, and use your images in Photoshop, Word, PowerPoint, Canva, and thousands of other applications without compatibility issues.
Share via email & messaging
Email clients and messaging apps often can't display AVIF attachments. JPG is the universal image format for communication — every email client, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, and SMS app can display JPG images inline without any issues.
Print at any service
Photo printing services, poster shops, and office printers require JPG (or sometimes PNG/TIFF). No printing service accepts AVIF files. Converting to JPG ensures your images are ready for any print workflow.
Upload to any website or social media
While websites may serve AVIF to browsers, most upload forms still don't accept AVIF files. Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, eBay, Etsy, and most other platforms require JPG or PNG uploads. Convert to JPG before uploading.
