Turn .avif images saved from websites into JPGs that open in every app, editor and upload form. Nothing is uploaded.
AVIF to JPG is the fix for images that look fine in your browser but won’t open anywhere else. More and more websites, online shops and news sites send their pictures as AVIF, a modern format that is much smaller than JPG. When you save such a picture, you get a file ending in .avif, and then your photo viewer shows an error, your editor won’t import it, or an upload form says the file type is not allowed. This AVIF to JPG converter changes the file into the most widely supported picture format there is, right inside your browser and up to 30 files at a time. Below we show how the conversion works, what it does to file size with our own measured numbers, how to open AVIF files in common programs, and when JPG is not the right choice.
The tool uses the AVIF decoder that is already built into your browser. It asks the browser to decode the image, draws the result at its full width and height onto a canvas that is first filled with white, and saves that canvas as JPEG at the quality on the slider (92% by default). The white fill matters only for images with transparent areas, because JPG can’t store transparency. If an AVIF is animated, the browser hands over the first frame, so that is the one that becomes a JPG.
Worked example (measured). In our own Chrome test we converted a 600 × 900 AVIF photo of 21.8 KB. The JPG at the default 92% was 100.1 KB, still 600 × 900. That is 4.6 times bigger, which sounds bad but is expected: AVIF packs the same picture into far fewer bytes than JPG can. The JPG is not better or worse to the eye; it is simply the price of a format every program understands.
Drag up to 30 AVIF images onto the box, click it to choose files, or paste a copied image with Ctrl+V.
JPG at 92% is already set. Open More options to move the Quality slider; the list updates by itself.
Click Download on a row, or Download all (ZIP) for the set. Copy summary copies the before and after sizes.
JPG opens in old photo viewers, Office, print shops, email and upload forms that turn AVIF away.
The JPG keeps the exact width and height of the AVIF. Nothing is cropped or scaled.
JPG can’t be see-through, so transparent areas are filled with pure white instead of black or grey.
Conversion happens in your browser. No upload, no account, no watermark and no limit.
Images are usually the heaviest part of a web page. Google’s page-speed tools tell site owners to serve modern formats such as AVIF and WebP because they have better compression than JPG and PNG. So a site often keeps a JPG or PNG for older browsers and sends AVIF to browsers that can show it. When you right-click and choose “Save image as”, you get the version your browser received, the AVIF. Nothing is wrong with the file; your other software just hasn’t caught up with the format.
According to MDN, AVIF works in Chrome since version 85, Firefox 93, Safari 16.1 and Edge 121. Programs outside the browser vary a lot: some recent apps open it, many older photo viewers, office programs, print shop systems and upload forms don’t.
Converting from an efficient format to JPG always makes the file grow. These are our own measured results for the same kind of conversion with this tool, all at the default 92% quality:
The AVIF grew the most because it was the most efficient to start with. If the JPG is too heavy for an upload form, you have three options: lower the Quality slider under More options (75 to 85% is usually still clean), use the compress image to 100 KB tool to hit a size exactly, or make the picture smaller in pixels with the image resizer.
Open this page in Chrome or Edge (Edge 121 or newer reads AVIF) and drag the files from your Downloads folder. The JPGs you save open in the Photos app, Paint, Word and any upload form.
Safari 16.1 or newer, Chrome and Firefox all work. Drag the .avif files from Finder, then save with Download all (ZIP).
Use Chrome, tap the box and pick the file from Downloads. The JPG appears in your downloads and can be shared like any photo.
Use Safari on iOS 16 or newer, tap the box and choose the image from Files. Tap Download; the JPG goes to the Downloads folder in Files.
Support for AVIF in desktop software depends on the program and its version, and it changes with updates. The simple rule: if the program refuses the file or opens it looking wrong, convert it and open the converted file.
| Program or place | Convert to | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Photoshop, CorelDRAW, Illustrator (older versions) | JPG, or PNG if it has transparency | Both import everywhere; PNG keeps see-through parts |
| Paint and old photo viewers | JPG | Opens instantly, small file |
| Job, exam or government upload form | JPG, then compress if there is a KB limit | Forms often allow only JPG or JPEG |
| Word, PowerPoint, Google Docs | JPG for photos, PNG for logos | Accepted by every version |
| Print shop | JPG at 95 to 100% | Highest JPG quality for printing |
| Your own website | Keep the AVIF, or use WebP | Converting to JPG makes the page heavier |
If the image has a transparent background, such as a logo or a product cut-out, choose PNG instead: AVIF to PNG keeps the transparency that JPG would fill with white.
The slider under More options goes from 50 to 100%. The default 92% is chosen so the JPG looks like the original. Lower values give smaller files with more risk of blotches in smooth areas such as skies and skin; higher values keep fine detail for printing. For most saved web images, which were already compressed by the website, going above 92% adds bytes but no visible detail, because that detail was never in the AVIF.
JPG has no transparency, so transparent areas become white. In our own test with a transparent PNG logo converted to JPG, the see-through corners measured pure white (255, 255, 255), and the same happens with a transparent AVIF. An animated AVIF becomes a single JPG of its first frame. If you need the motion, a JPG can’t hold it.
A typical online AVIF to JPG converter uploads your file, converts it on a server and sends the JPG back. This one doesn’t need a server at all: your browser already contains an AVIF decoder (it uses it to show images on websites), and the page simply asks it to decode the file, draws the picture on a canvas and saves it as JPEG with the browser’s own encoder. The file is read from your disk and the JPG is written back to your disk. It never travels over the internet, so there is no upload wait and nothing is stored anywhere, and after the page has loaded it works offline.
Because the browser does the decoding, the JPG looks the way the image looked on the website where you found it. And every claim on this page is checkable: drop a file in and the row shows the size before, the size after and the pixel size. Copy summary copies those numbers, and Copy link with these settings saves your output and quality in a link.
For each file the tool measures the original size, the decoded width and height, and the size of the finished JPG, and shows them in the result list. The sizes in the chart above come from our own tests with this tool in Chrome in October and November 2026.
What we do not do: we don’t score visual quality, we don’t sharpen or resize, we don’t keep metadata, and we don’t create AVIF files (browsers can’t write AVIF). We also don’t collect anything about the images you convert.
| VidHaul | Typical upload-based sites | |
|---|---|---|
| Upload needed | No, uses your browser’s own decoder | Yes, every file |
| Batch | Up to 30, ZIP download | Often limited on free plans |
| Quality control | Slider 50 to 100%, size shown for each file | Sometimes fixed |
| Watermark | Never | Sometimes on free plans |
| Sign-up | Not needed | Sometimes needed for more files |
| Works offline after loading | Yes | No |
| Privacy | Files never leave your device | Files are usually kept on a server for a while |
Saved a .webp image instead? Use WebP to JPG. Want several JPGs in one file? Use JPG to PDF.
Only convert images you own or have the right to use. Pictures on websites usually belong to someone else.
Drop the .avif file into the box on this page. It is converted to JPG at once; click Download, or Download all (ZIP) if you added several.
Yes. This converter is free with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit, because the work happens on your own device.
Current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari show AVIF images; drag the file into a browser tab. Many photo viewers, editors and forms still can’t, so converting to JPG is the easy fix.
If your version of Photoshop won’t import it, convert the AVIF to JPG here (or to PNG if it has a transparent background) and open that file instead.
Open this page in Safari, Chrome or Firefox and drag the .avif files from Finder into the box. Save the JPGs with Download or Download all (ZIP).
The website sent your browser an AVIF version to save data. The picture is the same; only the file format differs, and some apps don’t know that format yet.
Usually yes, by a lot. In our test a 21.8 KB AVIF became a 100.1 KB JPG at 92%. Lower the Quality slider under More options if size matters.
No. Browsers can read AVIF but can’t save it, so this tool can only turn AVIF into JPG, PNG or WebP.
