What this converter does

AVIF often produces smaller files than JPEG at similar visual quality, but not for every photo. Modern browsers support AVIF well; older systems may still prefer JPEG or WEBP. This is a lossy re-encode of an already compressed JPEG.

Convert JPEG to AVIF when optimizing images for sites and CDNs that accept AVIF. Keep JPEG for email, forms, and maximum compatibility.

How to convert JPEG to AVIF

  1. Upload your JPEG file. Drop a JPG or JPEG file into the upload area, or select several images at once (max 200 MB each).
  2. Set AVIF quality. AVIF is re-encoded with the quality slider (default 90%). Encoding can take longer than JPEG or WEBP. Lower values usually mean a smaller file. This does not restore quality already lost in the source.
  3. Convert to AVIF. Press Convert to AVIF. Processing runs in your browser — the file is not uploaded to ImgTask's server.
  4. Download the result. Download the converted AVIF file when it is ready. Conversion stayed on your device.

JPG to AVIF for modern delivery

Use AVIF when your hosting and visitors can display it. For broader compatibility, convert a copy rather than deleting the JPEG master.

Because JPEG is already lossy, keep the AVIF quality high if the photo will be cropped or enlarged later.

Formats, limits, and privacy

Upload limit: 200 MB per image, up to 20 files at once. Images above about 100 megapixels may fail in the browser. Conversion re-encodes pixels and strips EXIF, GPS, XMP, ICC, and DPI metadata; orientation is applied visually first.

Limitations: Encoding AVIF can take longer than JPEG or WEBP. Confirm your destination supports AVIF before replacing all assets. Conversion does not restore JPEG losses.

Privacy: Your image is processed locally in your browser and is not uploaded to ImgTask's server. Image files never leave your device. No account is needed and results carry no watermark.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Many photos shrink, but you should compare the actual file. Quality settings and image content both matter.
No. Detail already discarded by JPEG compression cannot be recovered.
Current major browsers support AVIF. Some older apps, printers, and forms still expect JPEG.
You can convert images up to 200 MB each, and up to 20 files at once. Very large pixel dimensions may still fail in the browser even when the file is under the upload limit.
Conversion runs in your browser. Your image is processed locally in your browser and is not uploaded to ImgTask's server. Image files never leave your device. If the browser cannot process the file, you will see an error and nothing is uploaded.
No. Conversion re-encodes pixels and strips EXIF, GPS, XMP, ICC, and DPI metadata. EXIF orientation is applied visually first so portrait photos stay upright. Live Photos, depth maps, and similar extras are not stored in the output.
Animation is not preserved. Animated GIFs (and animated WEBP/AVIF when the browser decodes only a still) use the first frame.
JPEG has no alpha channel, so the AVIF will be opaque. Transparency is not created during conversion.
