AVIF to JPG

What AVIF is

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is one of the newest image formats. Websites like it because it can be half the size of a JPG at the same quality, so you increasingly get .avif files when you save images from the web. Some phones and apps also export AVIF.

The problem is support outside browsers: many photo viewers, office suites, editors, print kiosks and almost all government and job portals can’t read it.

How to do it here

1. The recipe is ready: 100% size, save as JPG.
2. Drop or paste the .avif file. Our engine decodes AVIF itself, so it works even if your browser can’t show it.
3. Hit Repixel it ✨ and download a real JPG, confirmed by the badge.

Tips

• For many files, use Bulk resize with the same recipe and download a ZIP.
• If you need transparency, change Save as to PNG.
• If a form has a size limit, switch to KB size after converting; we’ll check the exact bytes.
• Renaming .avif to .jpg doesn’t convert anything. The file stays AVIF inside and strict uploads will fail.

Doing it on a phone

On Android, tap the canvas and choose the AVIF file from Files or Downloads. On an iPhone, pick it from the Files app. The JPG lands in your downloads folder, ready to attach to an email, a form or a chat. Because the decoding runs in the page itself, it works the same in Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge.

Why we decode AVIF ourselves

Browsers that can display AVIF on a web page don’t always let a site read the pixels back, and older browsers can’t show AVIF at all. Our engine ships its own AVIF decoder, which loads only when you open an AVIF file, so you aren’t downloading it on every visit. The result is the same everywhere: the exact width and height of your original, colours preserved, saved as a standard JPG that any program can read.

What about quality?

We save the JPG at a high quality setting. AVIF files are often made from heavily compressed originals, so if the AVIF already looks soft, the JPG will look the same, not worse.
