Free AVIF to WebP Converter Online

AVIF is one of the most efficient image formats around, which is why so many websites now serve it. Save one of those images, though, and you may find your photo editor, CMS or messaging app refuses to open it.

WebP is the practical middle ground. It is supported by every current browser and by far more software than AVIF, it keeps transparency, and it stays small. This converter opens your AVIF in the browser, redraws it at exactly the same size and saves it as WebP.

    WebP is already selected. Adjust the quality slider if you want a smaller file or more detail.

  3. 3. Download your WebP

    Compare the preview and new file size with the original, then download your WebP.

AVIF vs WebP

What is AVIF?

AV1 Image File Format

.avif

AVIF stores a still image using the AV1 video codec, developed by the Alliance for Open Media, a group that includes Google, Netflix, Mozilla and Apple. The specification was published in 2019.

It compresses photos very efficiently, often producing a noticeably smaller file than JPG or WebP at the same visible quality, and it supports transparency and HDR color. The catch is support outside the browser: many editors, upload forms and older devices still can't open it.

What is WebP?

Google's image format for the web

.webp

WebP was released by Google in 2010 to make images on the web smaller. It has a lossy mode based on the VP8 video codec and a lossless mode, and both support transparency.

For a photo, a WebP is usually smaller than a JPG of similar quality, and every current browser displays it. Outside the browser support is patchier: some older editors, print services and upload forms still don't accept it.

Why Convert AVIF to WebP?

More apps can open it

Image editors, website builders and social platforms that don't read AVIF usually do read WebP, so the file becomes usable without losing the web-friendly size.

Transparency survives

Unlike converting to JPG, nothing gets flattened. A transparent logo stays transparent, including partly see-through edges.

Faster to open and edit

AVIF takes more work to decode than WebP. On older phones and laptops a WebP opens and scrolls more smoothly.

A good fit for web uploads

Many CMS and e-commerce platforms accept WebP but not yet AVIF, so converting lets you use the image on your own site.

Tips for Converting AVIF to WebP

Frequently asked questions

Will my AVIF lose quality as a WebP?

Slightly, because this converter saves lossy WebP. At the default 85% quality the difference is very hard to see for most images. Raise the slider towards 100% to keep more detail, at the cost of a larger file.

Does converting AVIF to WebP keep transparency?

Yes. WebP supports transparency, so see-through areas, including soft and partly transparent edges, are kept exactly as they appear in the AVIF.

Why is my WebP bigger than the AVIF?

AVIF generally compresses images more tightly than WebP, so the same picture usually takes a few more kilobytes as a WebP. Lowering the quality slider brings the size down if you need it smaller.

My browser says it can't open the AVIF. What can I do?

Opening an AVIF relies on your browser's own decoder. Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari all include one, so updating your browser, or trying another one, normally fixes it.

Does the WebP keep the photo’s location and camera data?

No. The WebP is written from the image’s pixels alone, so EXIF details such as the camera model, the date taken and GPS location are not copied over. That makes the converted file safer to share, but keep your original if you need that information.

Is my AVIF uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser: your AVIF is opened, turned into a WebP and saved on your own device. Nothing is sent anywhere, and nothing is kept once you close the tab.
