Quality control

Adjust the quality slider to balance file size and visual fidelity.

No upload

Processed locally in your browser. Private by design.

Three steps to convert avif to webp

  1. 1

    Drop your AVIF files

    Drag your AVIF images onto the drop zone or click to browse. The browser decodes each AVIF file using its built-in AV1 image decoder — the same engine Chrome and Firefox use to render AVIF natively.

  2. 2

    Re-encode to WebP in your browser

    The decoded pixel data is piped through the browser's Canvas API and re-encoded as WebP using the libwebp codec baked into every modern browser. Transparency (alpha channel) is preserved if your AVIF had one. You can adjust the quality slider — AVIF at quality 60 and WebP at quality 80 produce visually similar results, so WebP quality 80 is a sensible default when converting.

  3. 3

    Download as individual WebP files or a ZIP

    Each converted file is named identically to the source but with a .webp extension. Grab them one by one or click 'Download all' for a single ZIP. Nothing was sent to any server — the conversion ran entirely in your browser tab.

Who converts AVIF to WebP — and why?

AVIF is gaining ground as a CDN and design delivery format, but most CMSes, marketing tools, and image editors still expect WebP. These are the people who hit that gap daily.

Content teams receiving AVIF from a CDN

CDNs like Cloudinary and Imgix often deliver AVIF as the default to supported browsers, meaning assets downloaded for offline use or re-upload land as AVIF. Converting to WebP lets those files go straight into WordPress, Webflow, or Contentful without a compatibility error.

Frontend developers testing next-gen format fallbacks

When auditing a site's picture element fallback chain, developers sometimes need to verify that a WebP fallback looks identical to the AVIF source at a given quality. Converting AVIF to WebP locally makes that visual diff fast without a round-trip to an image API.

Designers handing off assets from Figma exports

Figma's 'Export as AVIF' option produces smaller files, but many developer handoff tools and design systems still flag AVIF as unsupported. Converting to WebP keeps file sizes close to AVIF while working in every modern toolchain.

E-commerce teams updating product image libraries

Platforms like Shopify accept WebP for product images but reject AVIF at upload. When a photographer delivers a batch of AVIF product shots, converting to WebP is the fastest path to publishing without re-shooting or re-exporting from Lightroom.

Email marketers working around AVIF client gaps

Major email clients including Gmail and Apple Mail do not render AVIF inline, but WebP renders correctly in Gmail and most modern clients. Switching from AVIF to WebP avoids broken image placeholders in campaign sends.

Open-source contributors packaging image assets

GitHub README images and documentation sites built on Jekyll or Hugo often process WebP but not AVIF. Converting AVIF screenshots or diagrams to WebP ensures they render in the repository preview and on the published docs site without adding a build-step dependency.

Frequently asked questions

Why convert AVIF to WebP?

+

WebP has broader browser and tool support than AVIF while still producing small, web-optimized files. It's a safer choice when you need wide compatibility without large files.

Does WebP keep transparency from AVIF?

+

Yes. WebP supports alpha channels, so transparency in your AVIF is preserved in the WebP output.

Which is smaller, AVIF or WebP?

+

AVIF usually compresses slightly smaller than WebP, but WebP is supported in more places. Converting trades a little size for much wider compatibility.

Can I batch convert?

+

Yes. Drop multiple AVIF files and convert them all to WebP in one go.

Are my files uploaded?

+

No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser.

Is WebP supported everywhere?

+

WebP is supported by 97%+ of browsers and most editors — much broader than AVIF today.
