to

Convert image files with our easy-to-use and free tool. Our tool lets you upload a HEIC (High Efficiency Image File Format) file and, from this, create a new image saved in the AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) format that you can then download and edit within image file editors or use for high-definition printing applications. Our conversion tool can also batch convert multiple HEIC image files; up to 25 files at a time can be converted.

Along with converting HEIC image files to AVIF, our tool allows you to also adjust the image with some simple effects, such as applying a grayscale filter to the image. These additional options are available within the Options tab. Along with grayscale, you can also mirror or flip the image if needed. For single HEIC file uploads, you will also see options to resize and rotate your image.

Description

The AVIF format is an image-based container format designed to store images or image sequences that are compressed with the AV1 compression algorithm. The format has been around since 2019 and is based on the HEIF container format, and as such, it competes with the HEIC image format.

During tests, the format has shown to perform better than JPG files, not just in the reduced file size but in overall image quality. Support for the format is growing and is already supported in the Chrome and Firefox web browsers. AVIF files can also be opened in many 2D image editing applications.
