AVIF to PDF Converter

Turn AVIF files into PDF in a couple of clicks. AVIF is a next-gen format with the best compression available today; PDF is a fixed-layout document format that looks identical everywhere. The conversion is lossless — every pixel, sample or byte in the source is preserved.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Add your AVIF files

    Drag them onto the drop area, choose them from your device, or paste them from your clipboard. You can queue several at once. Nothing is sent anywhere — the file stays on this device.

  2. 2

    Adjust the settings if you want to

    The defaults suit most people. Open Advanced to control page size and margins.

  3. 3

    Convert and download

    Press Convert. Everything happens on your own device — nothing is uploaded. Download files one by one, or grab them all as a ZIP.

Privacy, in plain words

Is it safe? Your AVIF file is not uploaded anywhere

What “uploaded” normally means. On most online converters, pressing the button copies your file across the internet onto a computer owned by that website. That copy is what the word “upload” means, and it is the part nobody explains.

What happens instead. This site does not do it. There is no server here that receives files, so your AVIF file is read, converted and handed back by the browser you are using right now. It never travels — so there is no copy to store, read, leak or hand over.

Check it yourself in ten seconds

Turn off your Wi-Fi after this page has loaded, then convert a file anyway. It still works, because everything needed is already on your device.

The longer explanation of how this works, and the full detail of what is and is not stored on the privacy page.

Why this matters more than it sounds

PDF is the format people use for exactly the documents they would not hand to a stranger. It matters more than it sounds, because of what PDFs usually are:

Medical letters and results

a diagnosis is not something to leave on a server

Payslips

salary, employer, and usually your home address

Bank statements

account numbers, balances, every payee you have

Signed contracts

your signature, and terms you may be under NDA about

A file that is never sent cannot be kept, leaked, subpoenaed or used to train anything. That is a property of how this works, not a promise about how carefully it is run.

AVIF and PDF 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.

PDF describes a page as a fixed arrangement of text, vector graphics and images. Unlike a word processor document, it is designed so the page looks identical everywhere — which is exactly why it is awkward to edit.

Where AVIF files come from
Performance-focused websites and modern image pipelines.
Where PDF is used
Contracts, invoices, reports, forms, academic papers and scanned documents.

AVIF vs PDF

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

Why convert AVIF to PDF?

Converting AVIF images to PDF packages them into a single paginated document. That matters when you are submitting scans, assembling receipts, or sending several images to someone who should receive one file rather than an inbox full of attachments.

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
Genuinely hard to edit — it stores positioned glyphs, not paragraphs. Scanned PDFs contain no text at all until OCR is run.

Does converting AVIF to PDF reduce quality?

Both formats store the content without discarding data, so this conversion preserves it exactly. The file size may change because the two formats compress differently, but the content itself is unaffected.

AVIF to PDF Converter — questions

How do I convert AVIF to PDF?

Drop your AVIF file onto the area above, then press Convert. The PDF file saves straight to your device. You do not need an account, and there is no watermark.

Is it safe to convert AVIF files here — are they uploaded to a server?

No, nothing is uploaded. On most online converters, pressing the button copies your file across the internet onto a computer owned by that website; it is converted there and sent back. That copy is what "upload" means, and it is the part that puts your file out of your control. This site does not do it. Your AVIF file is read and converted by the browser you are using right now and never leaves this device, so there is no copy for anyone to store, read or hand over. You can prove it: turn off your Wi-Fi after this page loads and the conversion still works.

Can I convert confidential AVIF files, like bank statements or contracts?

Yes, and that is the case this site was built for. Because the file never leaves your device, a confidential document is no more exposed than it is sitting in your own folder — there is no transfer, no copy on someone else's hardware, no retention period to read about and no staff with access. Nothing is logged about the file either: not its name, not its size, not its contents. The one thing worth saying plainly is that this protects the file in transit and at rest on our side, not from anything already on your own computer.

What should I know before converting AVIF to PDF?

Every image becomes a page. Turn off “Combine all files” to get one PDF per image instead.

Does converting to PDF reduce quality?

No. PDF is a lossless format, so the conversion preserves exactly what is in your AVIF file. Note that it cannot recover detail that was already discarded when the AVIF was first created — a lossless container does not undo earlier compression.

How large a file can I convert?

Up to 120 MB per file for this conversion. Because the work happens in your browser, the practical limit is your device's memory — larger files work on a desktop with plenty of RAM and may fail on an older phone.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like and press Convert All. Each file is processed independently, so one failure does not stop the rest, and you can download everything together as a ZIP.

Can I use this on my phone?

Yes. FileTools360 works in mobile browsers on iOS and Android. Pick the file through your phone's file picker — Files on iOS, or Downloads on Android — including files stored in iCloud or Google Drive.
