How big is an AVIF compared to JPG?

AVIF produces small, high-quality images, but older editors, content-management systems, email clients, and desktop applications may not open it reliably. Converting AVIF to JPG creates a practical copy that works across almost every device and platform.

Upload one or more AVIF files, select the JPG quality, and download the converted images. JPG cannot retain every AVIF feature: transparency requires a solid background, HDR is converted to standard color, and the result uses JPG's 8-bit color depth. Keep the original AVIF when you need transparency, HDR, or an archival master; use JPG when compatibility and easy sharing are more important.

Reasons to convert AVIF to JPG usually come down to compatibility, file-size, or specific feature requirements. Common situations:

• An app or platform only accepts JPG uploads.
• You need a feature unique to JPG (e.g. transparency, vector scaling, animation, multi-page pages, etc.) that AVIF doesn't provide.
• You're optimising file size — modern formats often produce smaller files than the older format you started with.
• You need a single archival format across a project so files behave consistently in the same viewer.

1. Open the AVIF → JPG tool on jpg.now.
2. Drag your AVIF file onto the drop zone, or click Select files. You can drop a whole folder of files at once.
3. The output is fixed to JPG. If the format supports extra options (page size, transparency background, quality, EXIF stripping), tweak them in the right-hand panel.
4. Click Convert. The job runs on our server and finishes in a few seconds for typical photos.
5. Download the result. Files stay in storage for 24 hours and are then permanently deleted.

The entire flow is free for the first 10 jobs per day with no signup required. A free account doubles that quota; a premium plan removes the limit entirely.

• Use quality 90-92 when converting AVIF to JPG - AVIF detail is finer than JPG's 8x8 DCT can preserve below that.
• Strip the ICC profile if the destination is web sRGB - some AVIFs from Pixel phones embed Display P3, which Outlook renders too saturated.
• If the AVIF has alpha, decide upfront on a flatten colour (white for print, transparent-becomes-checker only if you convert to PNG instead).
• For batches from a Pexels/Unsplash download, run the JPGs through compress-jpg afterwards - source AVIFs were already optimised, but the JPG re-encode bloats them.
• Chrome DevTools' Network panel lets you right-click and Save As JPG directly on AVIF assets, but quality is fixed at 75 - use a real converter for client work.
