AVIF is a still-image format built on the AV1 video codec: camera apps on a number of Android phones, several screenshot and screen-recording tools, and some websites' own image pipelines now save pictures in it because it can hold a comparable amount of detail in a noticeably smaller file than an old-style JPG. The practical problem is that plenty of software people still use every day — older phones, some desktop photo viewers, many printers, and a fair number of upload forms — either can't open a .avif file or handles it unreliably. Clicking "Open Universal Image Converter" sends you to TryDocsy's shared multi-format tool rather than a page built only for AVIF; that's where the file is actually decoded by your browser and re-encoded as JPG.
Because JPG is already the selected output format the moment that page loads, there's nothing to pick beyond your quality setting: the slider starts at 90% and can be moved anywhere from 10% to 100% in steps of 5. Uploads are capped at 20 MB per file, and because JPG has no way to store transparency, any AVIF that carries an alpha channel loses it — the transparent areas are filled with solid white rather than kept.
How it works
1. Open the Universal Image Converter
Click "Open Universal Image Converter" — JPG is already the tool's selected output format, so there's nothing to change there before you upload.
2. Drop your AVIF file
Use the "Drop any image here" area, or click it to browse. Each file can be up to 20 MB, and you can add more than one AVIF at a time.
3. Adjust the JPG quality if you want
The Quality slider starts at 90%. Lower it toward 10% for a smaller download, or push it toward 100% to keep more of the original detail.
4. Convert and download
Press "Convert N Image(s) to JPG." A single result downloads with one click; convert more than one and the same button relabels itself to download everything together as a ZIP.
When you'd use it
Sharing an AVIF photo from an Android phone
Several Android camera apps save pictures as AVIF by default to save storage. Converting to JPG before sending it means whoever you're sending it to can actually open it, since not every phone or messaging app decodes AVIF yet.
Uploading a product photo to a portal that rejects AVIF
Marketplaces, government forms, and older content-management systems commonly only accept JPG or PNG. Converting an AVIF export here first avoids a confusing rejection on the actual upload form.
Opening an AVIF file in older editing or office software
Many desktop photo editors and older office suites can't open .avif at all. Converting it to JPG turns the file into a format essentially every image tool on any computer already understands.
Attaching a photo to an email that mishandles AVIF
Some mail clients show a broken thumbnail or refuse to preview a .avif attachment inline. Sending the JPG version instead avoids that confusion for the recipient.
What AVIF is, and why converting it is sometimes necessary
AVIF stores pictures using AV1, the same compression technology built for video, which lets it pack a comparable amount of visual detail into a noticeably smaller file than a traditional JPG. That efficiency is exactly why some phone camera apps, screenshot tools, and websites' own image-optimisation pipelines have started producing AVIF files instead of JPG or PNG.
The trade-off is compatibility. AVIF is decades younger than JPG, so a meaningful slice of the software people rely on day to day — older phones, some desktop viewers, plenty of printers, and a lot of upload forms — either can't open a .avif file or handles it unreliably. Converting to JPG trades AVIF's smaller size for a format that opens practically everywhere.
Transparency becomes solid white
AVIF can carry an alpha channel the same way PNG does, so a graphic or sticker exported as AVIF might genuinely have see-through areas. JPG has no mechanism to represent that, so before this converter writes the JPG it paints the canvas white first and draws your image on top of it — any pixel that was transparent in the source AVIF comes out solid white instead.
If keeping that transparency matters for your image, converting the same AVIF to PNG instead is the option that preserves it — see AVIF to PNG for that path.
Picking a quality setting
The Quality slider only shows up because JPG is a lossy format, and it starts at 90%, a setting that keeps most of AVIF's original sharpness while still compressing noticeably. Dragging it down toward 10% produces a much smaller file at the cost of visible blockiness around edges and text; leaving it near 100% keeps detail closer to the source but produces a larger JPG.
There's no single correct setting — a quick photo you're sending over chat can tolerate a much lower value than a document scan or a product shot you plan to print.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting AVIF to JPG lose quality?
Yes, to some degree — JPG is a lossy format, so re-encoding always discards some detail, and how much depends on where you set the Quality slider. At the default 90% the loss is usually hard to notice; dragging the slider toward 10% trades visible quality for a much smaller file.
Will a transparent AVIF stay transparent after converting to JPG?
No. JPG can't store transparency at all, so this converter fills the canvas white before drawing your image, and any transparent area in the source AVIF becomes solid white in the JPG. Convert to PNG instead if you need to keep it.
How large an AVIF file can I upload?
Up to 20 MB per file through the Universal Image Converter, the shared tool this page links to.
Can I convert more than one AVIF at once?
Yes. Drop several files in, convert them together, and download each result individually or grab them all at once as a ZIP.
Do I need to select JPG before converting?
No — JPG is already selected by default when the Universal Image Converter loads. You only need to touch the Quality slider if the default 90% isn't what you want.
Why won't some of my apps open the original AVIF file?
AVIF is newer than JPG or PNG by design, and plenty of older photo viewers, printers, and upload forms simply haven't added support for it yet. Converting to JPG sidesteps that by using a format almost everything already understands.
