About this jpg → avif tool

AVIF is built on AV1 intra coding, a modern video codec technology repurposed for still images. It beats HEIC, WebP and JPEG on almost every image class, which makes it the best choice for hero images, photography and anything where bytes are expensive.

How it works

  1. 1Drop your images in. Drag and drop, paste from the clipboard, or browse. Whole folders are fine — the converter picks up every image it recognises.
  2. 2Tune the output. Pick a format, set the quality or a target file size, adjust dimensions, and dial in the colour. The preview updates as you type.
  3. 3Download. Save a single file, or grab the whole batch as one ZIP. A ten-second sponsored break comes first — that is what keeps the tool free.

Tip: check the preview before downloading

The preview runs the exact same pipeline as the download, including quality and the size target. If it looks right in the preview, the file on disk will look identical — there is no server-side re-encoding step that could change the result.

Format support

Every format that matters, in both directions

The output list only shows formats your browser can genuinely encode, so nothing ever fails silently.

JPGRead & write

WebPRead & write
AVIFRead & write
GIFRead & write

HEICRead (device dependent)
TIFFRead on some browsers
SVGRead (vector)

HEIC, TIFF, SVG and ICO are listed because your browser may be able to read them. If it cannot, the file is flagged with an explanation rather than failing silently — and the HEIC page has the fastest workarounds for every device.
