Frequently asked questions

AVIF is a modern image format based on the AV1 video codec. It typically produces much smaller files than JPG or PNG at a similar visual quality, which is why it's become a common default export format for cameras, phones, and websites.

It converts AVIF image files into standard JPG or PNG files, entirely inside your browser. You don't need to install anything or create an account.

Yes. There are no hidden fees, credit systems, or premium tiers. Conversion happens on your own device, so there's no server cost that would need to be recovered through charges.

No. Everything runs in the web page itself using standard browser APIs — no browser extension or desktop app required.

No. The conversion uses your browser's built-in canvas rendering to decode and re-encode the image locally. Your files never leave your device.

We can't, because we never receive them in the first place. Once you close or refresh the tab, any in-memory data related to your files is gone.

Because nothing is transmitted to a server, converting locally is generally safer for sensitive images than tools that require an upload step.

Choose JPG for photos and anything without transparency, since it produces smaller files. Choose PNG when you need to preserve a transparent background or want lossless quality, such as for logos and graphics.

Yes. Drag a whole batch of AVIF files onto the dropzone and each one converts independently. Use Download All to save every result together.

It only applies to JPG output and controls how aggressively the image is compressed. Higher values keep more detail but produce larger files; lower values shrink the file at the cost of some sharpness.

This is almost always a browser support issue. Update to the latest version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari, all of which support decoding AVIF natively.

No daily limit exists. The only practical constraint is your device's available memory when converting very large batches at once.
