Why Convert JPG to AVIF?

Converting from JPEG Image to AVIF Image is useful when you need best-in-class compression (smaller than webp and jpeg). JPEG Image has limitations: lossy compression degrades quality each time it's re-saved. AVIF Image addresses this by offering best-in-class compression (smaller than webp and jpeg) and royalty-free and open-source. AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a next-generation image format based on the royalty-free AV1 video codec.
