Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will the AVIF be than the JPG?
Typically 40–50% smaller at the same visual quality — AVIF is currently the most efficient mainstream image codec. On a photo-heavy web page that can cut page weight in half, which speeds up loading and improves Core Web Vitals scores. The exact saving depends on the image: detailed photos compress best, while simple flat graphics gain less.
Will every browser display the AVIF?
All modern browsers — Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari 16+ — display AVIF today, covering the large majority of visitors. For very old browsers or non-browser apps that do not recognise it, keep a JPG fallback and serve AVIF with the HTML <picture> element so each visitor gets the best format their software supports.
Is AVIF slower to decode than JPG?
Slightly — AVIF decoding is more CPU-intensive than JPG, but modern phones and computers handle it instantly. The smaller file size usually outweighs the tiny decode cost, especially over slow or metered connections where fewer bytes downloaded matters far more than a millisecond of extra decoding.
Can I convert a whole folder of JPGs to AVIF at once?
Yes. Add every JPG in together and the batch converts in one pass with no file-count limit — the efficient way to re-encode an entire gallery or product-image set before publishing it, so you are not exporting each photo one at a time.
Does converting an already-compressed JPG to AVIF lose more quality?
A little, because the JPG already discarded detail and AVIF re-encodes what remains. In practice the second step is nearly invisible at high quality, and the far smaller file is usually worth it. For the best possible result, convert from an original PNG or RAW rather than a JPG that has been saved and re-saved many times.
Is AVIF only useful for websites, or for storage too?
Both. Its main win is faster-loading web pages, but the same efficiency makes it excellent for archiving large photo libraries in far less space than JPG. Just remember that outside a browser, support is still patchy — some image viewers and older editors cannot open AVIF yet, so keep originals if long-term app compatibility matters.
Will EXIF data like camera and date survive the conversion?
AVIF can carry EXIF metadata, so camera model, date and settings generally transfer. If the JPG has embedded GPS coordinates and you plan to publish the AVIF, strip that location data first — the smaller file is easy to share widely, which is exactly when leaked location metadata becomes a privacy risk.

About JPG and AVIF

Key things to know before you convert JPG to AVIF:

JPG

JPG (JPEG) has been the default photo format since 1992. Lossy compression keeps photographs small, and literally every device and program can open it. It does not support transparency or animation, and every re-save loses a little quality.

AVIF

AVIF is the most efficient mainstream image format, built on the AV1 codec: about half the size of JPG. Supports HDR, transparency and animation. Encoding is slower and tool support is still maturing.
