How it works

AVIF usually produces a dramatically smaller file than JPG at the same visual quality — often less than half the size — which is its whole reason to exist for the web. The trade-off is encoding time: AVIF is far more CPU-intensive to compress than JPG or WebP, so this runs on the server and takes longer than the other converters. The quality slider drives the AVIF encoder. Support is broad across current browsers but not universal in older desktop software, so keep a JPG where maximum compatibility matters.

Convert JPG to AVIF in your browser. AVIF is the newest web image format and usually produces the smallest file of all at a given quality — excellent for performance-critical pages. Encoding is more intensive than JPG or WebP, so it can take a little longer.

Why convert JPG to AVIF?

AVIF is the newest web image format and usually produces the smallest file of all at a given quality — often beating WebP, especially on detailed photographs. For performance-critical pages where every kilobyte on a hero image counts, AVIF delivers the fastest download for your visitors.

The trade-off: encoding time and support

AVIF does more work to reach that small size, so encoding takes a little longer than JPG or WebP — a one-time cost for a file people download faster. Support is now broad across current browsers; for very old clients, keep a JPG or WebP fallback. The conversion runs in your browser.

How to convert an image

  1. 1Upload your JPG.
  2. 2Choose an AVIF quality level.
  3. 3Wait a moment while it encodes, then compare the size saved.
  4. 4Download the AVIF.

When to use JPG to AVIF

  • Squeezing the last bytes out of hero images on a fast website.
  • Serving the smallest possible photos to save bandwidth.
  • Future-proofing an image library with the most efficient format.

Frequently asked questions

Is AVIF smaller than WebP?

Usually, yes — AVIF often beats WebP at the same quality, especially on detailed photographs. The trade-off is slower encoding.

Do browsers support AVIF?

All current major browsers support AVIF. For very old clients, keep a JPG or WebP fallback.

Why does AVIF take longer to create?

AVIF compression does more work to reach a smaller size. The wait is a one-time cost for a file your visitors download faster.
