When to Convert

Common scenarios where this conversion is useful

Converting AVIF web images for document submission

Many modern websites serve images in AVIF format. When you need to submit a saved AVIF image — a receipt, certificate, or reference screenshot — as a PDF document, convert it directly in your browser without any upload.

Making AVIF images compatible with legacy systems

AVIF is not supported by all software and older operating systems. Converting to PDF wraps the image in a universally compatible format that opens in any PDF reader regardless of AVIF codec availability.

Archiving high-quality AVIF photos as documents

AVIF's excellent compression makes it ideal for photo storage. Convert AVIF photos to PDF to create archival document records in a format that is stable, universally readable, and accepted by formal archiving systems.

Preparing AVIF images for print

Print shops and professional printing services require PDF for precise dimension and DPI control. Convert your AVIF image to PDF to specify exact print dimensions before sending to a print service.

Sharing AVIF images with users on unsupported platforms

Not all email clients or office applications render AVIF images correctly. Converting to PDF ensures your image is displayed consistently to any recipient, regardless of their platform or browser version.

How to Convert AVIF to PDF

1

Select your AVIF image

Drag and drop your .avif file into the converter or click to browse. The AVIF image stays entirely on your device — no network upload takes place at any step.
2

Browser converts the image to PDF locally

The jsPDF library decodes your AVIF image using the browser's built-in AVIF decoder and embeds the image data into a PDF document. The entire process runs in browser memory with no server involvement.
3

Download the PDF document

Save the resulting PDF to your device. It opens in any PDF reader and can be emailed, uploaded to portals, or printed. Your original AVIF image is never transmitted anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my AVIF image get uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using the jsPDF JavaScript library. Your AVIF file never leaves your device, providing complete privacy throughout the process.

Does the browser need to support AVIF for this to work?

Yes. The browser uses its built-in AVIF decoder to read the image before jsPDF creates the PDF. Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, and Safari 16+ all support AVIF natively.

Will the AVIF quality be preserved in the PDF?

The browser renders the AVIF at its native resolution and color depth, which is then embedded in the PDF. The quality in the PDF matches what the browser displays when viewing the AVIF.

Does the PDF support AVIF's HDR and wide color gamut?

The image is embedded at the display color depth that the browser renders. Most PDF viewers display images in sRGB, so HDR-specific color information may be mapped to the sRGB range.

What page size will the generated PDF use?

The PDF page is sized to match your AVIF image's dimensions and aspect ratio. The image fills the page without cropping or added white borders.

Is there a file size limit for the AVIF image?

No server limit applies since no upload occurs. The practical limit is your device's available memory. AVIF files are typically small due to excellent compression, so this is rarely a concern.

Can I convert an AVIF image sequence or multiple images into one PDF?

Each conversion produces a single-page PDF for one AVIF image. To combine multiple images into a multi-page PDF, convert each image separately then merge the PDFs with a dedicated tool.

Does AVIF transparency carry over to the PDF?

AVIF supports full alpha channel transparency. When the browser renders the AVIF, transparent areas are composited against a white background before embedding in the PDF.

Does this work on mobile browsers?

Yes. The converter works in Chrome for Android and Safari on iOS 16 or later (where AVIF is supported). The conversion runs entirely in the mobile browser.

Is this tool really free with no strings attached?

Yes. No signup, no account, no subscription, and no ads beyond normal site operation. The converter runs in your browser and is completely free.
