About this tool
AVIF is showing up in more downloads and screenshots every month, but most desktop programs, older phones, and upload forms still cannot open it. Converting to JPG gives you a file that works everywhere.
About the formats: AVIF is a next-generation image format derived from the AV1 video codec. It compresses better than WebP and JPG at the same visual quality, and browsers support it well, but many desktop programs, older phones, and upload forms still cannot open it. JPG (JPEG) is a lossy format built for photographs. It compresses aggressively, produces small files, and opens on every device ever made, but it cannot store transparency and each re-save costs a little quality.

Questions
Why won't my image viewer open AVIF?
AVIF support is still arriving in desktop software. Windows needs the AV1 Video Extension, and many editors have no support at all.
Does AVIF to JPG lose quality?
Marginally. AVIF was already lossy; re-encoding as JPG at quality 92 is visually the same.
