    How to convert PDF to AVIF

    1. Drop your PDF files onto the box above, or paste them with Ctrl+V.
    2. Pick a quality. Around 90% is indistinguishable from the original for most images.
    3. Give a page range if you only want part of the file, or leave it blank for all of it.
    4. Your browser does the work on your own machine.
    5. Save each file from its tile, or take them all at once.

    What changes, and what does not

    Detail is thrown away for the first time

    PDF keeps every pixel exactly. AVIF does not, and that is the point of it: the file gets far smaller because detail your eye is worst at noticing is discarded. Keep the original if you may need to edit it again.

    About PDF

    A fixed page description. It records where every glyph and line sits, which is why it looks identical everywhere and why pulling structure back out of it is hard.

    About AVIF

    The smallest of the four, often half a JPG. We ship the encoder, so it costs a one-off download.

    Worth knowing: Needs a browser released in the last few years to decode.

    What do I get back?

    One AVIF per page. A single page comes back as one image; several come back as a zip, because browsers throttle a burst of downloads triggered by one click. A PDF page has no resolution of its own, so you choose one: 144 DPI is right for reading on screen, 216 for printing or zooming in.

    Other conversions

    PDF also converts to JPG, PNG, WebP, Text and Word.

    AVIF also comes from HEIC, PNG, JPG, WebP and GIF.
