AVIF to JPG FAQ
What is an AVIF file?
AVIF is an image format based on the AV1 video codec. It compresses photos to roughly half the size of a JPG of similar quality and supports transparency and HDR, which is why websites increasingly use it.
Why can I not open AVIF files on my computer?
Operating systems and applications added AVIF support only recently. Windows needs an extension from the Microsoft Store, and older versions of macOS, Photoshop and office software do not read it. Converting to JPG avoids the problem.
The tool says my browser cannot open the file. What now?
Decoding uses your browser's own AVIF support. Update to a current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari and try again.
Will the JPG be larger?
Yes. JPG is a less efficient format, so expect the file to be two to four times the size of the AVIF at comparable quality.
Is HDR or wide colour preserved?
No. JPG output is standard 8-bit sRGB, so HDR highlights and wide-gamut colours are mapped to the normal range.
Should I convert AVIF to PNG instead of JPG?
Choose PNG when the image has transparency or sharp graphics such as logos and screenshots, because JPG cannot store transparency and blurs hard edges slightly. Choose JPG for photographs, where it gives much smaller files that open in every program. A quality setting around 85 to 90 per cent suits most photos.
AVIF and where it fits
AVIF was standardised in 2019 by the Alliance for Open Media, the group behind the royalty-free AV1 video codec. By reusing AV1's compression tools for still images, it achieves substantially smaller files than JPG and usually beats WebP as well, especially at low bitrates where JPG becomes blocky.
The cost is compatibility and speed: AVIF is slower to encode and is not yet understood by a lot of everyday software. JPG remains the lowest common denominator. Converting AVIF to JPG trades file size for the assurance that the image will open wherever you send it.
If you receive AVIF images regularly, it is worth checking which of your tools already handle them. Current versions of the major browsers display AVIF, and recent operating systems and photo editors are adding support, sometimes through an optional extension. Converting to JPG remains the practical choice when sending images to someone else, uploading to a service that rejects AVIF, or printing. Choose a quality of around 85 to 90 per cent to avoid adding visible artefacts on top of those from the original compression.
