Experience fast, secure, and lossless conversion with our privacy-first browser architecture.
Privacy & SecurityZero Uploads
100% Private In-Browser Processing
Your JPG photos are decoded and encoded directly inside your browser tab memory. No files are ever sent to remote cloud servers, keeping your personal photos and sensitive documents completely secure.
Zero network transmission - Complete local security
Fidelity & EngineOptimized AVIF
Pixel-Perfect Visual Quality
AVIF is written at quality 58 on libavif scale, roughly a visual match for a high-quality JPG at half the bytes or less. No browser can encode AVIF, so the page loads libavif compiled to WebAssembly (≈3.3 MB) the first time you pick it, then runs it on a background thread. Later files in the same session reuse it.
Original dimensions preserved - No watermarks
ArchitectureWASM Pipeline
How the Conversion Pipeline Works
The conversion executes in two discrete steps inside this browser tab: first, the JPG source is decoded into uncompressed raw pixels in memory. Second, those raw pixels are re-encoded into valid AVIF format without quality degradation.

What is the difference between JPG and AVIF?
Re-encode JPG photos as AVIF for the smallest modern web files. The smallest web format — typically 20–50% under WebP.
Does converting JPG to AVIF need a plugin or an install?
No. No browser can encode AVIF, so the page loads libavif compiled to WebAssembly (≈3.3 MB) the first time you pick it, then runs it on a background thread. Later files in the same session reuse it.
Is transparency kept in the AVIF?
Yes. If the JPG has an alpha channel it carries through to the AVIF.
Is EXIF and GPS data kept in the AVIF?
No. Conversion goes through raw pixels, so EXIF, GPS coordinates, IPTC and XMP are all dropped. That is usually what you want before sharing a photo - but if you need to keep the format and only remove metadata, use the Metadata Remover instead.
