What Is AVIF and Why Can't Everything Open It?
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) was standardized in 2019 and is built on the AV1 video codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media. It is the most efficient mainstream image format today — achieving 20–50% smaller files than JPEG and roughly 20% better than WebP at the same visual quality. Netflix, Google, and modern Chrome-based browsers adopted it quickly for this reason. The catch: it arrived recently. Many image editing applications, older operating systems, and legacy tools haven't added support. When Chrome or Firefox saves a right-clicked image from a modern website, it often saves as AVIF — which then fails to open in most apps. Converting to JPG gives you a universally compatible file that opens in Photoshop, Paint, Windows Photos, macOS Preview, Lightroom, and every image viewer on any platform.

Key Questions About AVIF to JPG, Answered
Direct answers structured for AI extraction, voice search, and featured snippets.
Does converting AVIF to JPG lose quality?
A small additional amount in most cases. Most AVIF files are already saved with lossy compression, so converting to JPEG means decoding that image and re-encoding it with JPEG's own (older, less efficient) compression — a second lossy pass. At JPEG quality 85–90, this extra loss is generally invisible at normal viewing sizes. The bigger issue isn't quality so much as size: JPEG needs a higher bitrate than AVIF to look equally good, so the conversion often makes the file noticeably bigger for the same visual result.
- AVIF is usually already lossy — JPEG re-encoding adds a second, smaller pass of loss
- At quality 85–90, the extra loss is rarely visible at normal sizes
- If a lossless AVIF master exists, it's the best source to encode from
- Keep the original AVIF if you might need a smaller, higher-quality file later
What happens to transparency when converting AVIF to JPG?
It's lost entirely. JPEG has no alpha channel and cannot store transparent pixels at all. Any transparent or semi-transparent areas in your AVIF — logos with transparent backgrounds, cut-out product photos, overlays — will be filled in with a solid colour (usually white) in the JPEG output. If your image relies on transparency, JPEG is the wrong target format regardless of quality settings.
- JPEG cannot store transparency under any circumstances
- Transparent areas become solid white (or another fill colour) after conversion
- To keep transparency, convert to PNG or WebP instead of JPEG
- Always preview the result if your AVIF has transparent or cut-out regions
What JPEG quality setting should I use for an AVIF source?
85 is a solid default for most photos — it keeps file size reasonable while staying visually close to the AVIF original. For thumbnails or previews where size matters more than fine detail, 70–80 is common. For images that will be printed or viewed at large sizes, 90–95 avoids visible compression blocks in fine detail. Since AVIF already compresses efficiently, don't expect JPEG at any quality setting to come out smaller — the goal is matching visual quality, not shrinking the file.
- Quality 85: good general-purpose default for photos
- Quality 70–80: thumbnails and previews where size matters most
- Quality 90–95: large displays, prints, or detailed product photography
- Quality 100 is rarely worth it — large file size for minimal visual gain
Will the JPG be smaller or larger than the AVIF?
Usually larger — this surprises a lot of people. AVIF is one of the most space-efficient image codecs available, often producing smaller files than JPEG at the same visual quality. Converting AVIF to JPEG typically trades a smaller, modern file for a larger, more compatible one. The reason to convert isn't to save space — it's that JPEG is supported absolutely everywhere, while some older browsers, apps, and editing tools still don't recognize AVIF.
- AVIF is generally more space-efficient than JPEG at equal quality
- Expect the JPEG to be the same size or larger, not smaller
- Convert for compatibility — JPEG works in software that doesn't support AVIF
- If file size matters most, keep the image as AVIF or convert to WebP instead
