HOW IT WORKS
Three steps, no account, nothing to install.
01
Upload your JPG images
Drag in .jpg images from a camera, a design tool or your website's media folder.
02
Convert to AVIF
Start the conversion. Each image is encoded with AV1 compression as an AVIF.
03
Download the AVIF
Download each AVIF, or several together as one ZIP.
JPG
JPG is the most widely supported photo format, with lossy compression that keeps files small.
AVIF
AVIF is a modern image format based on the AV1 video codec, giving much smaller files than JPG at similar quality.
FILE FORMATS
SOURCE
The format every phone, browser, printer kiosk and social site accepts. JPG compresses photos by discarding detail the eye is unlikely to notice, so a 24 MP picture fits in a few megabytes. It has no transparency and only 8 bits per color channel, and every re-save loses a little more quality.
TARGET
The Alliance for Open Media released AVIF in 2019. It stores images with AV1 compression, supports transparency, HDR and 10 or 12-bit color, and typically produces files around half the size of a comparable JPG. Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari show it, but many editors, CMS plugins and older devices still can't.

TROUBLESHOOTING
AVIF is new, so support varies.
01
Older software, some CMS plugins and print services don't support AVIF yet. Keep the original for those.
02
Very old browsers lack AVIF support. Use a picture element with a JPG or WebP fallback.
03
AV1 compression is slower than JPG or WebP, especially for large images.
04
Lossy AVIF usually stores color at a lower resolution than brightness, which can soften small, strongly colored details.
05
AVIF tends to smooth fine texture rather than show blocks. Keep the original JPG if you need maximum detail.
06
Check the JPG opens normally before converting.
Photoshop, GIMP, Preview and Paint can re-save images once installed. dragdropdo converts JPG to AVIF in the browser, on any device.
