Which formats are supported?

You can convert to and from JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and BMP, and convert from HEIC/HEIF (iPhone photos). Browsers cannot create HEIC files, so HEIC is input-only. Output formats your browser cannot encode are detected and disabled automatically.

Can I convert HEIC to JPG?

Yes. Drop in a HEIC photo from an iPhone and choose JPG (or PNG/WebP). The HEIC file is decoded locally in your browser with a bundled decoder — it is never uploaded anywhere.

Is transparency preserved?

Yes, when converting to a format that supports an alpha channel (PNG, WebP, AVIF). For formats without transparency (JPG, BMP), you can pick a background color for transparent areas.

Is my image uploaded?

No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser — your images never touch a server.

What is AVIF and should I use it?

AVIF produces the smallest high-quality files. Encoding support varies by browser, so PixelVault enables it only when your browser can create AVIF files.

Can I convert many images at once?

Yes. Batch-convert a whole folder of images and export them together as a ZIP.

Convert AVIF to JPG

Convert modern AVIF images into universally-supported JPG files, decoded and re-encoded locally in your browser. No uploads, no accounts.

Privacy-first: every image is processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored or transmitted to any server.

AVIF: excellent on the web, awkward everywhere else

AVIF is the newest mainstream image format, built on the AV1 video codec, and it produces the smallest files of any widely used format. Browsers embraced it — which is why you increasingly end up saving .avif files — but desktop software, older devices and most upload forms are still catching up. Converting to JPG bridges that gap instantly.

What the conversion preserves

Your browser decodes the AVIF at full fidelity and re-encodes it as a high-quality JPG. For photos the visual difference is negligible; the JPG will be larger than the AVIF was, because JPG simply cannot compress as tightly. Wide-gamut or HDR AVIFs are tone-mapped to standard color, which is what older software expects anyway.

Local by design

Decoding uses the browser’s own AVIF support, so files never leave your device. If a very new AVIF variant will not open, your browser version is the limiting factor — updating it updates the converter too.
