AVIF to JPG

This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels

Summary

AVIF is a very size-efficient, modern AV1 codec-based image format, but not yet open by all old applications. Converting it to JPG makes it easier to use photos in offices, printers, and services that only accept JPEG. Because JPG is lossy and has no alpha channel, transparency will be lost and HDR colors will need to be mapped to the standard range. Choose a high enough quality to keep the detail alive.

Key points

AVIF uses AV1 and superior to compress high-resolution photo sizes
JPG is broadly compatible, but lossy and does not support transparency
The transparent area of the AVIF will be lost or filled with solid background color
HDR AVIFs need tone mapping to make them not look pale or too bright.
Repeated conversions add artifacts, so save them from the original file.
