What happens when you convert JFIF to AVIF
- JFIF is another name for JPG; files ending in .jfif work here.
- Both formats are lossy. Re-encoding loses a little detail, so keep the quality high if the image will be edited again.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to convert my files here?
Yes. Conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server, so nobody else can see them.
Is it free? Are there limits?
It's completely free, with no sign-up, watermarks or daily limits. The only limit is your device's memory for very large files.
Can I convert many JFIF files at once?
Yes. Drop as many files as you like; they're converted one after another and you can download them all as a ZIP.
Will converting JFIF to AVIF reduce quality?
AVIF is lossy, so some fine detail is removed to make the file smaller. At the default quality it's hard to see; raise the Quality slider to keep more.
Which browsers does the JFIF to AVIF converter work in?
It works in the latest Safari, Chrome and Edge, on computers and phones.
