When you would use this

Situations, not settings.

An AVIF a print counter turned away
Print shops work from JPG and TIFF. AVIF is not on the list and will not be for years.
A photo for someone on an older phone
Handsets that stopped getting updates cannot show AVIF at all, and the picture arrives as a broken icon.
An image going into a system you do not control
Old intranets, ticketing tools and email clients all read JPG. It is the safe choice when you cannot test first.

How it works / no cloud

A conversion engine, not an upload form.

Every current browser decodes AVIF, so filetity reads the image with that decoder, draws it onto a white ground and re-encodes it as JPG at the quality you choose. No codec download, unlike HEIC, and no upload.

Straight answers

No accordion. Nothing hidden.

Is it free?
Yes, with no watermark and no page limit.
Does it need an account?
No. There is no account system.
Is my file processed on my device?
Yes. The file is read by your browser and never uploaded. There is no server to send it to.
What formats are supported?
AVIF in. JPG out, one file per image, or a ZIP when you convert several.
What are the limits?
No image count limit. Transparent areas become white, because JPG has no alpha channel. An AVIF carrying an image sequence gives you its first frame only. Needs a browser from 2021 or later.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, on any modern mobile browser. Large files are limited by the memory the phone gives the browser.
Does it work offline?
Yes, once the page has loaded. The tool keeps working with no network connection.
Why does everything refuse my AVIF?
AVIF reached browsers years before it reached desktop editors, phones on old software and print counters. The file is fine; the program looking at it has not caught up. JPG is what those places have accepted for thirty years.
How much quality does this cost?
Some. Both formats are lossy, so this re-encodes a picture that was already approximated once, and the second pass costs a little more than the first. At a high setting it is hard to see. There is no way to avoid it, because the AVIF cannot be un-compressed first.
What happens to transparent areas?
They are filled with white. AVIF has a real alpha channel and JPG has none at all, so something must go behind the image. If the transparency matters, convert to PNG or WebP instead.
Will the JPG be bigger than the AVIF?
Often, yes. AVIF is the more modern compressor by a wide margin, so matching its quality in JPG usually takes more bytes. You are trading size for a file that opens everywhere.
