What is JPG?
JPG (also written JPEG) is the most widely used photo format in the world. Created in 1992, it uses lossy compression that throws away detail the eye barely notices, which keeps photos small. Every phone, camera, browser, printer and upload form understands JPG, which is why government portals and job sites usually ask for it. The trade-off is that JPG has no transparency, and saving the same file again and again slowly lowers its quality.
What is AVIF?
AVIF is the newest mainstream image format, based on the AV1 video codec. It often makes files 30–50% smaller than JPG and noticeably smaller than WEBP at the same visual quality, with support for transparency, HDR and wide colour. Modern browsers display AVIF, but many desktop apps, older phones and upload forms still cannot open it.
When should you convert JPG to AVIF?
- Hero images and banners on modern websites
- Image-heavy apps where every kilobyte counts
- Next-generation e-commerce catalogues
- Testing the best possible compression
Tips for the best AVIF results
- For websites, 75–85% quality is usually the best balance between size and sharpness.
- You can convert many JPG files at once. They are processed one after another and can be downloaded together as a ZIP.
- Keep your original JPG files until you have checked the converted AVIF images.
How JPG to AVIF keeps your photos and images private
Most online converters upload your file to their server, process it there and send it back. That costs time, uses your data pack and means a copy of your file sits on someone else’s computer. JPG to AVIF works differently: the page loads the tool into your browser, and your photos and images are processed by your own phone or computer. The file never travels over the internet, so it cannot be leaked, stored or misused.
Using JPG to AVIF on your phone
JPG to AVIF is designed for small screens. Buttons are large, options are simple, and downloads save directly to your phone storage. On iPhone, downloaded files appear in the Files app under Downloads; on Android they go to the Downloads folder.

Frequently asked questions
Will converting JPG to AVIF reduce quality?
AVIF stores the image lossy and lossless (av1), so no extra quality is lost during conversion. Any detail already removed by the original JPG compression cannot be restored, and the AVIF file may be larger than the original.
Does AVIF keep transparency from JPG?
JPG images do not have transparent areas, so there is nothing to lose. AVIF can hold transparency if you edit the image later.
Can I convert multiple JPG files to AVIF at once?
Yes. Select or drop as many JPG images as you like. Each one is converted separately, and you can download them all together as a ZIP file.
