Does JPG → AVIF lose quality?

The target format compression is neutral (lossless or container-only) - neither degrades nor improves quality.

Camera RAW supported?

Yes - CR2 / CR3 (Canon), NEF (Nikon), ARW (Sony), DNG (Adobe / many), RAF (Fuji), ORF (Olympus), PEF (Pentax), X3F (Sigma), RW2 (Panasonic), 3FR (Hasselblad). Developed to JPG / TIFF / PNG via dcraw.

By default yes - date, camera, exposure settings are carried into the resulting JPG / TIFF. PNG and WebP have no EXIF standard so it gets dropped there.

Yes - PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, TIFF keep transparency. JPG has no alpha channel, so transparency flattens to white.

Yes - HEIC / HEIF develop to JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF. Apple uses HEIC for smaller files but outside the Apple ecosystem you still need JPG everywhere.

Is the conversion safe?

Yes. Small files convert inside your browser - never uploaded. Larger ones land on our server temporarily and are wiped automatically: 200 MB after 10 min, 100 MB after 20 min, 50 MB after 30 min, smaller after one hour. You can also delete them instantly after download.

Yes - 200 MB max per file. Larger files get rejected for performance and cost reasons.

Do you preserve original quality?

Depends on the pair. Lossy compression (e.g. JPG, MP3) always trims something - we set sensible defaults. Lossless (FLAC, PNG, ZIP) keeps everything 1:1.

Do I need an account?

No. The converter works right away - no signup, no login, no payment.
