What Is an AVIF File?
AVIF stands for AV1 Image File Format. It is a next-generation image format developed by the Alliance for Open Media, a consortium that includes Google, Apple, Microsoft, Netflix, and Mozilla. AVIF was designed to replace older formats like JPG and PNG with significantly better compression.
An AVIF image can be up to 50% smaller than an equivalent JPG file while maintaining the same visual quality. This makes AVIF attractive for web developers who want faster page load times and lower bandwidth costs. Major websites including Netflix, Google, and Facebook have adopted AVIF for serving images.
The problem is that AVIF is still relatively new. While Chrome, Firefox, and Safari now support AVIF natively, many applications, email clients, image editors, and content management systems don't recognize the .avif extension. If you've downloaded an image from a website and it saved as .avif, you may need to convert it to JPG before you can use it.
AVIF supports features that JPG cannot match: HDR (high dynamic range), wide color gamut, transparency (alpha channel), and animation. However, for everyday photo sharing and compatibility, JPG remains the universal standard.
AVIF vs JPG — Key Differences
AVIF and JPG serve different purposes. Here's how they compare on the features that matter most.
| Feature | AVIF | JPG |
|---|---|---|
| File size | Up to 50% smaller at same quality | Larger files |
| Image quality | Superior compression, fewer artifacts | Good, but visible artifacts at low quality |
| Compatibility | Modern browsers only (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) | Universal — works everywhere |
| Transparency | Supports alpha channels | No transparency |
| HDR support | Yes — wide color gamut | No HDR support |
| Animation | Supports animated sequences | No animation (use GIF) |
| Encoding speed | Slower to encode | Fast encoding |
| Decoding speed | Slightly slower | Very fast |
| Browser support | Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, Safari 16+ | All browsers since the 1990s |
| Email support | Very limited | Universal |
Use AVIF for web delivery where file size matters and you control the viewing environment. Convert to JPG when you need to share images via email, upload to forms, use in documents, or ensure compatibility with any device or software.
Why Would You Need to Convert AVIF to JPG?
The most common reason people need to convert AVIF to JPG is that they've saved or downloaded an image from a website and it's in AVIF format. Modern browsers like Chrome automatically save images in AVIF when that's what the website serves, even if you expected a JPG. This creates problems when you try to open the image in other software, attach it to an email, or upload it to a platform that doesn't accept AVIF.
Content creators and social media managers frequently encounter AVIF files when downloading images from websites that have adopted the format for performance. Instagram, Facebook, and many other platforms don't accept AVIF uploads, requiring conversion to JPG or PNG first.
If you're working with web screenshots, product images from e-commerce sites, or reference images saved from the web, there's a good chance some of them are AVIF files that need conversion for your workflow.
