Does converting JPG to AVIF reduce quality?

It can, but AVIF's compression is more efficient than JPEG's, so you can set a higher quality level and still end up with a smaller file. At equivalent settings, AVIF usually looks better than JPEG.

Are my photos sent to Carbide's servers?

Never. All processing happens in your browser on your own device. Your photos are not uploaded anywhere.

Can I convert multiple JPGs at once?

The tool currently processes one image at a time. Convert each file individually and download the result before moving to the next.

Why should I switch from JPG to AVIF?

AVIF files are significantly smaller than JPEGs at the same visual quality, which means faster page loads, lower bandwidth use, and less storage space needed.

What it does

JPG to AVIF lets you convert JPEG photos to the modern AVIF format instantly, without uploading a single pixel to a server. AVIF delivers far smaller file sizes than JPEG — often 40–60% lighter — while maintaining comparable or better visual quality, making it the smart choice for web images and digital storage. Just select your JPG, tweak the quality setting to your liking, and download the compressed AVIF. The entire process runs on your device inside your browser, completely free and offline-capable. No account, no upload, no waiting — Carbide keeps your photos private and on your machine where they belong.
