This free JPG to AVIF converter turns JPG photos into AVIF for faster web pages.

It scores each result against the JPG and uploads nothing.

Here's what a JPG to AVIF converter does, when to use one, and how this one did against CloudConvert.

What is a JPG to AVIF converter?

A JPG to AVIF converter turns a JPG image into a AVIF file: the same picture, in a format that opens somewhere else.

This one works in your browser, and gives every file a score that shows how close it looks to the original.

Why convert JPG to AVIF?

AVIF is the newest image format for the web, and every current browser shows it. It usually holds the same photo in less space than JPG.

A JPG was already compressed once, so converting can't bring back detail. The score shows how close each AVIF stayed to the JPG you dropped.

Compared with CloudConvert

I converted the same JPG files here and with CloudConvert, at each one's default settings. Then I scored every result against its original:

Golden retriever photo, 29 megapixels
Original
7.9 MB
CloudConvert
4.6 MB, score 50.4
This converter
7.1 MB, score 80.3
Dark portrait, 6 megapixels
Original
248 KB
CloudConvert
57 KB, score 60
This converter
138 KB, score 78
The same photo at 6 megapixels
Original
2.4 MB
CloudConvert
704 KB, score 41
This converter
1.6 MB, score 76.5

CloudConvert made smaller files by keeping much less: its AVIFs scored 41.0 to 60.0, where the loss shows at a glance. This converter's scored 76.5 to 80.3.

Against the JPGs themselves, this converter's AVIFs were 10% to 44% smaller. The 29-megapixel photo, full of fur and camera noise, shrank the least.

How I tested

I tested on September 29, 2026. The JPGs were a 29-megapixel golden retriever photo, the same photo at 6 megapixels, and a dark 6-megapixel portrait.

How I scored each file0/4

The score is SSIMULACRA 2, a metric from Cloudinary that compares two pictures the way your eye does:

ScoreWhat it means
90 and upLooks identical: no difference even flicking between them at 100%
80 to 90Same side by side at 100%
70 to 80High quality: hard to notice without comparing
50 to 70Medium quality: you can see it up close
Under 50Visible loss

Who is the JPG to AVIF converter for?

It's for anyone who wants faster pages from the same photos:

It works in your browser, and the new file leaves out hidden details like the camera and where a photo was taken.
