What is AVIF and where does it come from?

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern image format based on the AV1 video codec. It's used by Netflix, Chrome, and other platforms for its superior compression at high quality, but it isn't yet universally supported.

Why can't I open my AVIF file in some programs?

AVIF is relatively new and not supported by older image editors, Windows Photo Viewer, or many email clients. Converting to JPG gives you a file that opens reliably in virtually any software.

Does the conversion happen on my device or on a server?

It happens entirely on your device inside your browser tab. No file is ever sent to a server, which means your images stay completely private.

Is there a loss in quality when converting AVIF to JPG?

JPG uses lossy compression, so there is a minor quality reduction compared to the lossless AVIF source. The tool defaults to high quality output, and the difference is typically not noticeable.

What it does

AVIF to JPG converts images in the AVIF format — a next-generation codec used by streaming services, modern cameras, and web platforms — into widely compatible JPG files. AVIF delivers excellent compression but isn't yet supported in all software, so a JPG conversion ensures your image opens everywhere: legacy editors, email clients, Windows Photo Viewer, older phones. Carbide runs this conversion entirely on your device using browser-local processing. Nothing is uploaded, no account is required, and the tool is completely free. It works offline too — once the page is loaded, no internet connection is needed. Drop in your AVIF file, get a JPG in seconds.
