About AVIF and JPG
AVIF .avif
A modern image format derived from the AV1 video codec. It compresses harder than JPEG or WebP at the same visual quality, and handles wide colour and high dynamic range.
Good for
- The smallest files of any format here at a given quality
- Transparency, animation, wide colour gamut and HDR
- Holds up better than JPEG at very low bitrates
Trade-offs
- Support is newest — older browsers and many desktop apps cannot open it
- Encoding is slow compared with JPEG
- Fine detail can smooth over at aggressive settings
image/avif
JPEG .jpg
The photographic standard since 1992. JPEG throws away detail your eye is least likely to miss, which is why a photograph saved as JPEG is a fraction of the size of the same image saved losslessly.
Good for
- Opens everywhere — no format is more widely supported
- Very small files for photographs and other continuous-tone images
- A quality dial, so you choose the trade against file size
Trade-offs
- Lossy: detail is discarded permanently, and re-saving repeatedly compounds it
- No transparency at all
- Sharp edges, flat colour and text pick up visible halos

What changes when you convert AVIF to JPG
Transparency is flattened
AVIF carries an alpha channel and JPG has none, so anything transparent has to become a solid colour. We composite onto white. If the image was designed to sit over a coloured background, convert to a format that keeps alpha instead — or expect a white box around it.
Only the first frame survives
Most AVIF files are still images and convert straightforwardly. AVIF can also hold an animation, though, and JPG cannot: if yours is animated, what you get back is its first frame and nothing else. Convert to a video format, or to another animating image format, if the motion matters.
Camera data is removed by default
A AVIF straight from a phone or camera carries EXIF metadata — model, settings, timestamp and, quite often, the GPS coordinates of where the photo was taken. The converted JPG is written without it, so a file you are about to share does not quietly carry your location. The orientation flag is read and applied to the pixels first, so the image will not come out sideways once the tag holding it is gone. If you need the metadata kept, there is a setting for it.
How the JPG is written
Our default is quality 82 through mozjpeg, written progressively so it renders in passes over a slow connection. The quality control on the converter moves this if you need to — the default aims to be indistinguishable from the source at a sensible file size, rather than to win a compression benchmark.

Where your transparent background went
Transparency is the property most often lost silently in a conversion — the file looks perfect until it lands on a coloured background and grows a white rectangle.

WebP or AVIF: choosing a modern image format
Both beat JPEG comfortably. They differ in how much they beat it by, how long they take to produce, and what will refuse to open them.
