How to convert AVIF to JXL

  1. Add your AVIF images

    Drop AVIF files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. JXL is already chosen

    Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the JXL, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

  • Free, without an account

AVIF to JXL: what to expect

AVIF is not opened by many desktop apps, older phones or upload forms. JPEG XL gives excellent quality for its size. AVIF is at home in the smallest images for websites; JXL is the usual choice for high-quality photo archives.

The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can set the quality and resize the result.

The JXL encoder is a WebAssembly module that downloads the first time you convert to JXL and is cached afterwards.

AVIF vs JXL

AVIF

AVIF image

AVIF stores a still image using the AV1 video codec. It usually beats both JPG and WebP on file size and supports transparency, HDR and wide colour. Current browsers display it, but many image editors, viewers and upload forms still do not.

Opens in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari 16 or later; few desktop apps

JXL

JPEG XL image

JPEG XL is the JPEG committee's modern successor to JPG, standardised in 2022. It compresses better than JPG at the same quality and can also store images losslessly. Software support is still limited.

Opens in Safari 17 or later and a handful of image apps; most other browsers do not display it by default

Questions

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. The AVIF to JXL conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Does converting AVIF to JXL reduce quality?

A little: ToAny writes JXL in its lossy mode, so a small amount of detail is traded for a much smaller file. At the default setting the difference is hard to notice. You can raise the quality under Options; there is no lossless setting.

Can I convert several AVIF files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert AVIF to JXL on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the AVIF file, press Convert and save the JXL. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

Pictures of up to 120 megapixels are accepted (for example 12,000 by 10,000 pixels); a larger one is refused with a message. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
