What is JPEG?
Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) — The most widely used lossy image format, ideal for photographs and complex images with millions of colors. Offers adjustable compression to balance quality and file size.
- Format type: Lossy
- File extension: .jpeg
What is AVIF?
AV1 Image File Format (AVIF) — A next-generation format based on the AV1 video codec. Delivers superior compression — up to 50% smaller than JPEG — with support for HDR, wide color gamut, and transparency.
- Format type: Lossy / Lossless
- File extension: .avif
Why Convert JPEG to AVIF?
While converting from a lossy format (JPEG) to a lossless format (AVIF) won't recover lost image data, it provides a high-quality container for further editing. The AVIF file will preserve every pixel exactly as decoded from your JPEG source without additional quality loss.
