JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Expert Group. It is known for its ability to reduce an image's file size while maintaining a reasonable level of quality, making it easier to share and store digital images. This is achieved through a lossy compression process, which discards some of the data in the original image. JPEG is famous for photographs and web graphics because it balances file size and image quality. JPEG is not ideal for images requiring transparency because it does not support transparency.
An AVIF file is a raster graphics royalty-free and open-source file format that uses the AV1 video codec. The lossless and lossy compression techniques apply the video codec encoding to create small, high-resolution, and high-quality images. The compressed AVIF images save bandwidth and increase website responsiveness or decrease webpage loading time while sharing qualities similar to the original image. The file format has inherent features that support transparency (alpha channel) and animation. AVIF file type is visually impressive and comparatively smaller than traditional file formats such as WEBP, PNG, and PNG.
To convert files from JPEG to AVIF use an online tool that supports mass conversion, like Convertjack. Such a tool transforms single or bulk images at once to save time.
Go to Choose File, and select any JPEG photos you want to convert. If you want to do a bulk conversion, click Choose File and select all the JPEG pics you want to convert.
After uploading the JPEG image, click the “Select Format” button at the center. A drop-down menu will pop up; select AVIF.
On the bottom right corner of the display, click the “Convert” button. Your converted AVIF file will be ready for download.
Click the “Download” button on the right side of the AVIF file, and the converted image will be downloaded. If you convert multiple files, each file will have a “Download all” button in front of it, and you can click each button to download all the converted files.
To save a JPEG file as a AVIF file, you first convert it to AVIF and then download it.
Instead of converting a file manually from JPEG to AVIF, use an online tool like Convertjack to convert the file without losing any details.
After converting the JPEG file, Download the AVIF file and save it in the default folder for all your downloads on the desktop or mobile.
One of the advantages of AVIF is its support by several modern web browsers, making it a good option for web images. AVIF files provide excellent compression efficiency and high-quality images. The main disadvantage of JPEG is its lossy compression method, which can reduce image quality with each save if the image is re-compressed. Converting from JPEG to AVIF does not retain image quality if the original JPEG is already degraded. Check this JPEG vs. AVIF comparison to determine which image format best suits your intended use.
