FAQ

Why won't my AVIF open?

AVIF is too new and poorly supported. Convert it to JPG or PNG with the [Format Convert tool](https://img-tools.top/convert) to open it anywhere.

Does AVIF to JPG lose quality?

Some. AVIF compresses extremely well; converting to lossy JPG lowers quality slightly. For high quality, convert to PNG.

Why is the file much bigger after converting?

AVIF has the best compression of any format, so JPG output is several times larger. Compress it with the [Smart Compress tool](https://img-tools.top/compress).

Can I batch convert AVIF to JPG?

Yes. Batch upload is supported for processing many files at once.
