Is my AVIF uploaded to convert it?

No. The conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly and canvas APIs, so the image data never leaves your device. There is no upload endpoint in this application at all — you can watch the network tab while you convert.

Why won't my computer open AVIF files?

AVIF is recent, and support outside browsers is still patchy. Windows needs the AV1 Video Extension, and many editors have not added it at all. Converting to JPG sidesteps the problem.

Will the JPG be bigger than the AVIF?

Almost certainly, often by several times. AVIF compresses far more efficiently than JPG, so the same image needs more space as a JPG.

Does the conversion lose quality?

Slightly — it is a lossy re-encode. At quality 85 or above the loss is not visible. Keep the AVIF if you might need the original again.

What AVIF is

AVIF stores still images using the AV1 video codec. It compresses better than JPG and WebP — often dramatically so — which is why sites have started serving it.

The trade-off is support and speed: it decodes fine in modern browsers, but many desktop applications, printers and older phones do not recognise it, and encoding it is slow.

Expect a larger file

Because AVIF is so efficient, the JPG you get back will usually be substantially bigger for the same picture. That is the cost of compatibility, not a fault in the conversion.

If your target software does support WebP, that is a better middle ground than JPG.
