AVIF and JPG explained

AVIF stores still images using the AV1 video codec's intra-frame compression. It generally achieves the smallest files of any widely supported format, and it handles wide colour gamut and HDR, which JPEG cannot.

JPEG is a lossy image format designed for photographs. It works by discarding detail the human eye is least likely to notice, particularly in colour and in smooth gradients, which is why it compresses photos far better than it compresses text or line art.

Where AVIF files come from
Performance-focused websites and modern image pipelines.
Where JPG is used
Digital cameras, phone screenshots on Android, and essentially every photo on the pre-2015 web.

AVIF vs JPG

The two formats solve different problems, which is why converting between them involves trade-offs rather than a straight upgrade.

Why convert AVIF to JPG?

People make this switch when they run into the limits of AVIF: the file needs to be opened outside a browser, or you need fast bulk encoding. JPG is the better fit when you are sharing a photograph and compatibility matters more than squeezing out the last few kilobytes.

AVIF limitations that prompt the switch
Encoding is slow compared with JPEG or WebP. Desktop application support is still thin. Very low bitrates can smear fine detail in a distinctive way.
What you give up
No transparency — there is no alpha channel at all. Visible artefacts around sharp edges and text.

Does converting AVIF to JPG reduce quality?

AVIF stores your data exactly; JPG does not. Some detail is discarded permanently in exchange for a much smaller file, which is usually the right trade for sharing and publishing. Keep your AVIF original if it is the only copy — the conversion cannot be undone.

Saving a JPEG at 100% quality is still lossy — it is a large file that has been through the same discarding process, not a lossless copy.
