How this tool works

What it does

Image to AVIF converts an image to AVIF in your browser, if your browser can encode AVIF.

Quality

Set the AVIF quality; the browser canvas encoder is quality-based only.

Browser support

AVIF export depends on your browser; Image to AVIF shows a clear error if it cannot encode.

Privacy & metadata

In-browser only; nothing is uploaded. Re-encoding through the browser canvas removes EXIF, GPS, and other metadata.

Image to AVIF in your browser

Image to AVIF converts common image formats to AVIF in your browser using your browser’s canvas AVIF encoder — the file is never uploaded to a server. AVIF export depends on your browser’s canvas AVIF encoder. If it is unsupported, the tool stops with a clear error instead of saving a misnamed file.

Use the quality slider to balance file size and detail. It offers quality-based AVIF only — advanced encoder settings such as effort/speed, chroma subsampling, lossless mode, HDR, and alpha quality are not available in a browser tool.

Image to AVIF shows the original and output format, dimensions, and file size in the result panel. Re-encoding through the browser canvas removes EXIF, GPS, and other metadata.

How to use Image to AVIF

  1. Upload an image (JPG, PNG, WebP, and others your browser can decode) into Image to AVIF.
  2. Set the AVIF quality in Image to AVIF, or leave the default.
  3. Click Process to export AVIF. If your browser cannot encode AVIF, Image to AVIF stops with a clear error instead of saving a misnamed file.
  4. Review the result panel — format, dimensions, and file size — then download the AVIF file.

Why use Image to AVIF

Smaller modern files

AVIF can be much smaller than JPG or PNG at similar quality, when your browser supports encoding it.

Honest encoder scope

Quality-based AVIF only — no claims of advanced encoder controls the browser canvas cannot do.

Fails clearly

If AVIF encoding is unsupported, Image to AVIF stops with an error instead of saving a broken or misnamed file.

Private by design

Image to AVIF runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Are my images uploaded to a server by Image to AVIF?

No. Image to AVIF encodes AVIF in your browser with the HTML canvas, and nothing is sent to imgtoolsbase or any server.

Which browsers can export AVIF with Image to AVIF?

Image to AVIF relies on your browser’s canvas AVIF encoder rather than a fixed version list. If the browser can encode AVIF the file is produced; if not, Image to AVIF shows a clear error. The output’s MIME type is checked so you never get a misnamed file.

Can Image to AVIF set advanced AVIF encoder options?

No. It offers quality-based AVIF only — advanced encoder settings such as effort/speed, chroma subsampling, lossless mode, HDR, and alpha quality are not available in a browser tool.

Does Image to AVIF change quality or metadata?

AVIF is lossy at the chosen quality, and Re-encoding through the browser canvas removes EXIF, GPS, and other metadata.
