Reasons to convert AVIF images
AVIF is still gaining adoption and does not work in older browsers, image editors, or mobile apps. Convert AVIF to JPG or PNG for guaranteed display on every device and platform.
Most graphic design tools including older Photoshop versions cannot open AVIF. Convert to PNG for lossless editing or JPG for lightweight files that every editor handles natively.
Most social networks and messaging apps do not yet accept AVIF uploads. Convert to JPG or WebP before posting to Instagram, Facebook, X, or LinkedIn to avoid upload rejections.
AVIF supports HDR and wide color gamut. When converting to PNG or TIFF, tone mapping is applied to preserve as much dynamic range as possible within SDR color spaces for standard displays.
No print service accepts AVIF files. Convert to TIFF for professional CMYK printing or to high-quality JPG for consumer photo printing at local shops and online print services.
Convert AVIF files online, no Photoshop, no plugins, no downloads. Files up to 100 MB are always free, and converted files are deleted from our servers within 1 hour.
About the AVIF format
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a next-generation image format based on the open-source AV1 video codec, standardized in 2019 by the Alliance for Open Media. It delivers exceptional compression efficiency, typically 20-30% better than WebP and up to 50% better than JPEG at equivalent visual quality. AVIF supports both lossy and lossless compression, making it one of the most versatile modern image formats available.
AVIF is designed for the next era of web imagery, supporting features like HDR (High Dynamic Range), wide colour gamuts with 12-bit depth, and full transparency. Browser support has been growing steadily, with Chrome, Firefox, and Safari 16+ all providing native AVIF rendering. The primary trade-off is encoding speed: AVIF images take significantly longer to compress than JPEG or WebP, which can be a bottleneck for real-time image processing pipelines and high-volume workflows.
