Convert AV1 image files (AVIF) online for free
The converter easily converts your AVIF images to various formats - free and online. No Google Chrome or or other Raster Image software needed.
The converter also works in reverse, so you can convert other "Compressed Web Image" formats to AVIF without using software like Google Chrome or a similar tool.
The .AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is an advanced, royalty-free raster image format created by the Alliance for Open Media. It uses the AV1 video codec algorithms packed inside an MP4-like container to deliver excellent compression. Web developers primarily use .AVIF to dramatically reduce webpage load times while supporting modern features like High Dynamic Range (HDR), transparency, and animations. You can natively open these files in modern web browsers like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, and edit them in newer versions of Adobe Photoshop or GIMP.
Despite its technical superiority, the format faces significant real-world compatibility limits. Legacy operating systems, older versions of Safari, and older image viewer apps cannot open .AVIF files natively. In Windows 10, for example, users are often forced to download an extension from the Microsoft Store just to view the image. Many standard email clients, chat applications, and social media platforms will also reject .AVIF uploads outright. This makes sharing these files with non-technical users highly problematic.
To guarantee your image opens everywhere, you must convert it to a legacy format. Just drag and drop your file here to analyze and convert it securely right in your browser. For maximum compatibility on the web or in emails, convert to JPG. If your image contains a transparent background, convert to PNG. If you want a balance of high compatibility and small file size for modern web development, convert to WEBP.
