3

Convert & Download

Click 'Convert to AVIF' to start processing. Within seconds, your AVIF files will be ready. Download individually or as a ZIP archive.

Pro Tip: Why AVIF?

AVIF provides better compression than both WebP and JPG. It supports HDR and high color depth, making it the perfect choice for modern, high-performance websites.

Engineering Philosophy

Built for Precision.
Designed for Privacy.

At RiseConvert, we noticed a gap in the market: most online converters were either too simple, compromising on quality, or too complex for daily use. Our engineering team set out to build a "Zero-Compromise" engine.

Instead of using generic processing libraries, we developed a context-aware conversion pipeline. This means our engine understands whether you are uploading a photograph or a graphic design, and adjusts its compression logic automatically to give you the best possible AVIF output while preserving quality.

Most importantly, we built our infrastructure on a "Verify & Vanish" architecture. Your files are processed in an ephemeral environment that is completely isolated from the internet. Once your download is ready, the environment self-destructs, ensuring your data never lingers on a hard drive.

Crafted by Ex-SaaS Engineers

Isolated Sandbox

Each conversion runs in its own detached memory space, preventing any data leak.

User-First Logic

No dark patterns. No hidden files. Just pure, honest utility engineering.

What is AVIF?

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is an open-source image format based on the AV1 video codec. It offers superior compression efficiency compared to older formats like JPEG and even WebP.

Converting JPG to AVIF gives you smaller files with better quality. When you use the RiseConvert Engine, you are taking advantage of cutting-edge compression technology that is now supported by major web browsers.

The Power of RiseConvert Conversion Engine

Our engine relies on the powerful AV1 codec to deliver exceptional results:

  • Superior Compression: AVIF can be up to 50% smaller than JPEG and 20% smaller than WebP while maintaining similar perceptual quality.
  • High Dynamic Range (HDR): AVIF is designed for the modern web, supporting wide color gamuts and HDR for richer, more vibrant images.
  • Lossless & Lossy: Like WebP, AVIF supports both compression modes, giving you flexibility between perfect quality and maximum space saving.
  • Transparency: Full support for alpha transparency, making it suitable for logos, icons, and UI elements.

Essential Terms

AV1 Codec

A royalty-free video coding format that AVIF is based on, known for high compression efficiency.

HDR (High Dynamic Range)

A technique that allows for a greater range of luminosity and better color accuracy.

Artifacts

Visual distortions from compression. AVIF handles blockiness much better than JPEG.

Chroma Subsampling

A method of encoding images by implementing less resolution for chroma information than for luma information.

Container Format

AVIF is a container format (based on ISO Base Media File Format) holding image data encoded with AV1.

Bit Depth

The number of bits used to define the color of a pixel. AVIF supports 8, 10, and 12-bit depth.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Ignoring Browser Compatibility

While support is growing fast (Chrome, Firefox, Safari 16+), some older browsers or systems might not display AVIF images. Use a <picture> tag fallback if needed.

Encoding Speed

AVIF encoding can be slower than other formats due to its complexity. Our cloud engine mitigates this, but it's something to be aware of.

Best Practice

Use AVIF for heavy hero images and backgrounds to significantly cut down page weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is RiseConvert JPG to AVIF converter free?
Yes, RiseConvert Engine offers a generous free tier that allows regular users to convert up to 3 files per session without any watermarks or hidden fees.
Is AVIF better than WebP?
In many cases, yes. AVIF generally offers better compression efficiency than WebP (often 20% smaller) and supports HDR. However, WebP support is slightly more ubiquitous on very old browser versions.
Will converting JPG to AVIF reduce quality?
AVIF is very efficient. At 'High' or 'Balanced' settings, it keeps quality perceptually identical to the original while slashing file size. 'Lossless' mode preserves data perfectly.
Can I view AVIF files on my computer?
Most modern operating systems (Windows 10/11 with extension, macOS Ventura+, Linux) support AVIF preview. If you can't open it, you can view it in a browser like Chrome.
Is it safe to upload confidential images?
Security is the core of RiseConvert Engine. We use 256-bit SSL encryption for all data transfers. Your files are processed in a secure, isolated sandbox container and are permanently auto-deleted from our servers after 2 hours.
What is the maximum file size allowed?
For free users, the maximum size per image file is typically 50MB. This is usually sufficient for even high-resolution photographs.
Can I convert multiple JPG files at once?
Yes! You can upload up to 3 JPG files simultaneously and convert them all in one batch. After conversion, you can download them individually or as a ZIP archive.
