Good to know
AVIF is a superb modern format — derived from the AV1 video codec, it routinely beats JPG by a wide margin at equal quality — but its youth is exactly why you might convert away from it. Older photo editors, many email clients, Microsoft Office, and plenty of legacy software still cannot open AVIF, whereas JPG is the universal fallback that opens absolutely everywhere.
The decode step is lossless, so no quality is lost reading the AVIF; the only compression happens when re-encoding to JPG. At the default quality of 90 that loss is invisible to the eye for typical photographs, and you can push higher for archival needs. Note that Safari only gained AVIF decoding in version 16 on iOS 16, so very old Apple devices will not be able to open the source at all.
One trade-off to plan for: the canvas re-export strips EXIF metadata such as camera model, GPS, and capture time, though it preserves the ICC color profile so colors stay accurate. If keeping metadata matters, handle that separately. When your goal is publishing to the web rather than maximum compatibility, converting to the smaller, broadly supported WebP format is often the better move.
Frequently asked questions
- Why convert AVIF to JPG when AVIF is smaller?
- AVIF is brilliant for the web but still patchy in older software, email clients, design tools and Microsoft Office. JPG is the safe lingua franca.
- Will quality drop?
- AVIF decoding is lossless; the only loss happens when we re-encode to JPG. At quality 90 (the default) the difference is invisible to the human eye for most photos.
- Does it work in Safari and on iOS?
- Safari 16+ on iOS 16+ supports AVIF decoding, so yes. Older Safari versions can't decode AVIF — use a recent device or do the conversion on a Mac.
- Are EXIF and ICC profiles preserved?
- ICC colour profiles are preserved by canvas. EXIF is not — canvas re-export strips metadata. If you need EXIF, do a separate copy through a metadata transfer tool.
- Is there a file size limit?
- No fixed limit — the cap is your browser's memory, which usually means 100 MB+ images work fine on a desktop, smaller on phones.
