Is it safe to convert JPG to AVIF using this tool?

Yes, it's completely safe. All conversions happen in your browser, so your files are never uploaded to a server. Your privacy is 100% protected.

Will I lose image quality when converting from JPG to AVIF?

AVIF is a lossy format, but our tool is optimized to use a high-quality setting (85%) that provides an excellent balance, ensuring your AVIFs look sharp and clear while still being a reasonable file size.

Why is the converted AVIF file smaller than the original JPG?

AVIF uses a more modern and efficient compression algorithm, allowing it to store high-quality images in very small files. JPG is an older format with less effective compression, so the resulting file is typically larger to maintain a similar level of visual quality.

Can I convert multiple files at once?

Yes, you can drag and drop or select up to 8 JPG files to convert them to AVIF in a single batch. You can then download them all in a convenient ZIP archive.

Do I need to install any software?

No, our converter is a fully online, browser-based tool. No downloads or installation are required. It works on any device with a modern web browser.

What browsers support this converter?

Our converter works in all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Since AVIF is a relatively new format, make sure you're using a recent version of your browser for the best compatibility.

Are there any file size limits?

While there's no strict file size limit imposed by our tool, very large files may take longer to process and could potentially cause memory issues in your browser. For best performance, we recommend keeping individual files under 50MB.

Why would I choose AVIF over keeping JPG?

AVIF offers superior compression and quality, making it ideal for web optimization and modern applications. Choose AVIF when you want the smallest file size and best performance for supported platforms.
