AVIF is supported in Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, Opera 71+, and Edge 93+. Safari added support in Safari 16.1 on macOS and iOS. Most modern browsers now support AVIF for web images.

JPG to AVIF Converter — JPEG to Next-Gen Format

Q: What is AVIF and why is it better than JPEG?

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a next-generation image format based on the AV1 video codec. It offers significantly better compression than JPEG—typically 50% smaller files at the same visual quality—while supporting HDR, wide color gamut, and transparency.

Convert JPEG images to AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) for superior compression and modern features. Reduce file sizes by up to 50% with no quality loss.

How to Convert JPG to AVIF

Upload Your JPEG

Drag a JPEG image onto the upload zone or click to select a file. The image is loaded into a canvas element for processing in your browser.

Convert Automatically

Click "Convert to AVIF" and the tool encodes your image using the browser's AVIF encoder via the Canvas API. AVIF compression is applied at high quality.

Download AVIF

Download your AVIF file. Enjoy significantly smaller file sizes with excellent image quality, ready for use on modern websites and applications.

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) represents the cutting edge of image compression technology. Built on the AV1 video codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media, AVIF delivers approximately 50% better compression than JPEG at equivalent perceptual quality. This means a 1 MB JPEG can shrink to 500 KB or less in AVIF format with no visible difference.

Beyond compression efficiency, AVIF supports a range of modern features that JPEG lacks. These include high dynamic range (HDR) imaging for more vibrant colors, wide color gamut support (BT.2020, P3), 10-bit and 12-bit color depth for smoother gradients, alpha transparency channels, and lossless compression modes. For web developers and designers, AVIF offers a future-proof format that significantly improves page load times and bandwidth usage.

Browser support for AVIF has grown rapidly. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, and Safari (16.1+) all support the format. On the web, using AVIF can dramatically reduce image payload sizes, improving Core Web Vitals and user experience on slow connections. The format is particularly effective for photographic content where its advanced compression algorithms excel.

All conversion happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API with the image/avif MIME type. Your images are never transmitted to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security for your visual content.

AVIF typically achieves 50% smaller file sizes than JPEG at equivalent perceptual quality. For high-quality images, the savings can be even more dramatic—up to 70-80% reduction in some cases.

Yes. AVIF supports alpha transparency channels, unlike JPEG. This makes it a strong alternative to PNG for web graphics that need transparency, but with much better compression.

Yes. All image processing happens in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to any server. Complete privacy is guaranteed.
