MotionShine01 / Why sites use it
Smaller files
AVIF often makes pictures much smaller than JPG at the same look, so more websites now send it to browsers.
Free tool
AVIF to JPG, opens anywhere.
Saved a picture from a website and got an .avif file that your editor, Word or an upload form will not take? Drop it here and it comes back as a JPG, or a PNG if it has see-through parts. Convert a whole folder at once and download them in a ZIP. The pictures are converted by your browser and never uploaded.
This runs in your browser. Your pictures are never uploaded.
AVIF in short
Small on the web, awkward on your desk.
02 / The catch
Not every app reads it
Older editors, Office apps, printers and many upload forms still expect JPG or PNG.
03 / The fix
Convert here
Your browser already reads AVIF, so this page draws each picture and saves it again as JPG, PNG or WebP.
Questions
Good to know.
Are my pictures uploaded?
No. They are converted in this tab, so they never leave your computer.
JPG or PNG?
JPG suits photos and gives small files. Choose PNG for logos, screenshots or anything with a see-through background: JPG cannot be see-through, so those parts turn white.
Will the JPG be bigger than the AVIF?
Usually yes. AVIF packs pictures tighter than JPG, so the same picture as a JPG takes more space. Lower the quality a little if size matters.
Does it work with animated AVIF?
Only the first frame is saved, as a still picture.
Which browsers work?
Current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari can all read AVIF. On an old browser that cannot, the page tells you the picture could not be read.
Can I convert other formats?
Yes, the image converter takes HEIC, WebP, PNG, GIF, BMP, SVG and more.
