What Is AVIF and Why Convert to JPG?
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is one of the newest and most efficient image formats available. It is based on the AV1 video codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media, and achieves approximately 50% smaller file sizes than JPEG at equivalent visual quality. Google, Netflix, and major CDN providers have adopted AVIF for web image delivery because of its superior compression efficiency.
Despite its advantages, AVIF is not yet universally supported. Older software, email clients, Windows Explorer thumbnails (before Windows 11), legacy mobile apps, and many enterprise tools still do not open AVIF files natively. Converting AVIF to JPG produces a universally compatible file that opens in every image viewer, email client, and photo editor without additional plugins.

Why AVIF Files Need Converting
Email attachments
Outlook, Gmail, Apple Mail, and most email clients do not render AVIF files inline. Recipients see a file attachment instead of an image preview. Converting to JPG ensures the image displays inline in the email body, which is the expected behavior for photos and screenshots.
Windows compatibility
Windows 10 does not display AVIF thumbnails in File Explorer or Photos app without the AV1 Video Extension from the Microsoft Store. Windows 11 adds AVIF support, but many corporate environments still run Windows 10 with restricted store access. Converting to JPG ensures the image opens immediately on any Windows version.
Legacy software and tools
Adobe Lightroom Classic, older versions of Photoshop, image editing software, and medical or scientific imaging tools typically do not support AVIF. Converting to JPG makes the file compatible with any image editing or processing tool without format workarounds.
Web platform uploads
Some web platforms, CMS systems, and file upload portals explicitly require JPEG or PNG and reject AVIF. Converting to JPG removes the compatibility barrier while retaining visual quality. The JPG output at quality 92 from this tool is suitable for any web platform that accepts JPEG.
AVIF vs JPG: File Size Comparison
| Image type | AVIF size | JPG at Q92 size | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smartphone photo (12MP) | 500KB–1MB | 2–4MB | ~3–5× |
| Product photo on white | 200–400KB | 500KB–1.5MB | ~3–4× |
| Landscape / nature | 300–700KB | 1–3MB | ~3–4× |
| Screenshot (1080p) | 100–300KB | 200–600KB | ~2–3× |
| Portrait / headshot | 150–400KB | 400KB–1.2MB | ~3× |
AVIF has better compression than JPEG, so converting AVIF to JPG will produce a larger file. If you need to reduce the JPG size further, use the Compress Image tool after converting.
