Add files from where they live
Drop a AVIF file on the box, browse for it, or import it from Dropbox, Google Drive or a link. You can add more files later, and each file gets its own result.
Free AVIF to JPG converter
Convert AVIF to JPG online. Add a file, confirm JPG and download it. A single file needs no account.
Converting AVIF to JPG trades a compact, modern file for one that opens anywhere. You get an ordinary photo that older editors, viewers and upload forms accept. Expect the JPG to be noticeably bigger than the AVIF, and know that any transparent areas or HDR brightness in the original are flattened along the way.
Transfers use HTTPS, and files converted on the free tier are deleted within 24 hours, so the result is not a long-term archive. Quality depends on the source file, so open the JPG file once before you share it.
FromAVIFLossyTransparency
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format)
A modern image format from the Alliance for Open Media that stores pictures using AV1 video compression. It compresses far harder than JPG and supports transparency, HDR, 10 and 12-bit colour and animation, but reached browsers only around 2020.
ToJPGLossy
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
A lossy photo format from the early 1990s built on block-based DCT compression. It is limited to 8-bit standard dynamic range with no alpha channel, yet it opens in practically every editor, viewer, email client and content management system.

What changes
- AV1 compression gives way to the much older JPEG method. To hold comparable detail, the JPG often needs around twice the bytes of the AVIF it came from, sometimes more.
- Transparency disappears. AVIF can carry an alpha channel and JPG cannot, so see-through regions end up filled with a flat background colour, most often white.
- High dynamic range and deep colour are reduced to 8-bit standard range. Bright highlights and saturated tones that an HDR screen displayed are squeezed into the narrower JPG range.
- Software support flips from patchy to universal. Programs released before roughly 2021, along with plenty of current email clients and website uploaders, read JPG but reject AVIF outright.

What are the limits for AVIF to JPG?
Size
The upload box shows the live size limit before you add a file. Signing in raises it, and paid plans raise it further.
Formats
AVIF in, JPG out. Pick another output on the converter if you need a different format.
Privacy
Files are encrypted in transit over HTTPS and processed on indox infrastructure.
Deletion
Free-tier files are deleted automatically within 24 hours after the job finishes.
Limits worth knowing
- AVIF files served by websites are often heavily compressed already. Re-encoding to JPG cannot restore that detail and adds a small amount of new loss on top.
- An animated AVIF holds many frames while a JPG holds one, so only a single still image can come out of the sequence.
- Cut-out images such as logos and product shots lose their transparent background. If the transparency matters, PNG is a more suitable target than JPG.
- HDR pictures can look duller or shift slightly in colour after conversion, because the result depends on how the wide range is mapped into 8 bits.

AVIF to JPG FAQs
Why do images I save from websites download as AVIF?
Because the site served you AVIF to save bandwidth. Modern browsers tell servers which formats they understand, and many image services respond with the smallest one, which is frequently AVIF even when the address ends in .jpg. Choosing Save image as writes exactly what was delivered. The picture is fine; it is simply in a format your other software may not know.
Does converting AVIF to JPG reduce quality?
A little, since the image is decoded and then compressed again with a lossy codec. For an ordinary photo the change is hard to spot at normal size. It is more visible on AVIF files that were squeezed very hard for the web, where JPEG blocks get layered over existing smoothing, and on images with soft gradients.
Why is the JPG bigger than the AVIF?
JPEG compression is about three decades older and much less efficient than AV1. AVIF predicts each area from its neighbours and uses far more flexible block shapes, so it describes the same picture in fewer bytes. Storing that picture as a JPG at similar visible quality simply takes more data, often around double and sometimes considerably more.
What happens to a transparent AVIF when it becomes a JPG?
The transparent parts turn into a solid colour, normally white. JPG has no way to mark a pixel as see-through, so every pixel has to be given an opaque value. Soft edges such as shadows and hair blend into that background colour permanently. If you need the cut-out to stay a cut-out, convert the AVIF to PNG instead.
Can Windows open AVIF files without converting?
Sometimes. Recent Windows 10 and 11 builds can show AVIF in Photos and File Explorer once the free AV1 Video Extension from the Microsoft Store is installed, and Chrome, Edge and Firefox display it directly. Many desktop programs still cannot import it, though, which is when a JPG copy is the quicker fix.
Is AVIF better than JPG?
Technically yes: AVIF delivers smaller files, transparency, HDR and deeper colour, which is why websites favour it. JPG remains better at one thing, being accepted everywhere, from decade-old photo frames to office software. So AVIF suits delivery on the web, and JPG suits a file you need to hand to another person or program.
