How It Works

Conversion Mechanics

AVIF frequently cuts photographic file sizes by 50% or more versus JPG at comparable visual quality, which is why it's increasingly the target format for image-heavy sites optimizing Core Web Vitals. Encoding AVIF is more CPU-intensive than JPG or WebP, so expect conversion to take longer, especially for large batches or high-resolution photos — worthwhile once that file is loading on a page for thousands of visitors.

Why It's Private

Runs Entirely In Your Browser: Files are decoded and re-encoded strictly in local memory.
No Network Requests: The converter makes no calls to any server — check your browser's DevTools Network tab to confirm.
Nothing to Sign Up For: No account, no upload, and no server-side storage of your files.
Runs On Your Hardware: Processing uses your own device's CPU via Web Workers, not a remote server.

Frequently Asked Questions on Secure JPG to AVIF Conversion

For most photographic content, yes — often by 50% or more at comparable visual quality, though the exact savings depend on the image.

AVIF's encoder does more work to achieve its compression ratio, so conversion is slower than JPG or WebP, particularly for large or high-resolution images.

It's a good idea to keep it as a fallback for the small number of older browsers or tools that don't yet support AVIF.
