There are a number of apps and websites you can use to convert an AVIF to something else — like a JPG, PNG, or if you’re focused on 2D vector images, SVG. However, with AVIFs becoming more commonplace over the past few years, you should have no issue converting them using your computer’s own built-in image software (or other popular image editing apps).
- In Windows, open the AVIF with Photos and then click the three dots (…) icon.
- Select Save As, then click on the Format drop-down menu and select the file type you want.
- Choose where to export to and type in a new file name, if needed, then click Save.
For Macs, the process is similar.
- On a Mac, open the AVIF file with the default Preview app or other editing software like Pixelmator or Photoshop.
- Click on the File drop-down menu in the top-left corner of the screen and select Export.
- Wait for the exporting window to pop up and, if needed, type in the name you want to use for the new file and select a location for it to export to.
- Click on the Format drop-down menu bar and select the file type you want to export the AVIF as. Then click Save to export.
Be aware that the available file types for exporting may vary based on the software you’re using but typically include JPG, PNG, PDF, TIFF, etc. If you don’t see the file type you’re looking for, try exporting the AVIF in a different image program.
