Why convert JPG to AVIF?
JPG is a lossy format tuned for photographs, trading a little detail for dramatically smaller files. AVIF is a next-generation format built on the AV1 codec, producing the smallest files of any mainstream format at a given quality.
AVIF supports an alpha channel, so you get a transparency-capable file to layer or edit — though the conversion cannot invent transparency the JPG never had. AVIF is supported across all modern browsers and is one of the best choices for website performance and Core Web Vitals.
Pixohub converts JPG to AVIF entirely inside your browser using the HTML canvas API, so your images are never uploaded to a server. That makes conversion instant, completely private, and free — turn as many JPG files into AVIF as you like. Reach for AVIF whenever you need cutting-edge web delivery where the very smallest file size wins.
JPG vs AVIF: what to expect
JPG is best for photographs and richly detailed images where a small file size matters most, while AVIF shines for cutting-edge web delivery where the very smallest file size wins. Keep your original JPG if you may later need the source file, and export a AVIF copy for sharing and the web.
