Add your AVIF photos

Drag & drop AVIF photos here

or browse your files · you can also paste from clipboard (Ctrl+V)

Your browser decodes AVIF natively — no decoder download, and the page stays light. Photos are decoded on this device; a renamed JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, HEIC or BMP is refused with a clear message.

    No files yet. Everything stays on this device. Downloads start instantly.

    Privacy you can verify, not just trust

    Most online AVIF-to-PDF converters upload your photos to their servers first — and some keep a download link live for 30 days. This one can't: your browser's native AVIF decoder turns your AVIF photos into PDF pages entirely on your device, with no decoder to download. Your file data never leaves the device — the only third-party requests are the site's own analytics, which count page views — and it uploads nothing, ever. Don't take our word for it:

    New cross-origin requests during use: 0
    1. Press F12 to open developer tools, then the Network tab.
    2. Convert any AVIF above. Watch: apart from the site's analytics, nothing new is requested — no uploads, and no file data ever leaves your device.
    3. Extra credit: disconnect your internet after this page loads — conversion still works.

    How to convert AVIF to PDF without uploading it

    Every "free" online AVIF-to-PDF converter you've used uploads your photos to a company server, converts them there, and — in several documented cases — keeps a copy or a live download link for days. For family photos, scans of IDs, and anything you wouldn't post publicly, that's an unnecessary risk. The safer approach is to convert the file where it already is: on your own device.

    This tool does exactly that. When you drop an AVIF here, your browser:

    1. Checks the file is really an AVIF — by its ftyp magic bytes, not its name — so a JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, HEIC or BMP renamed to .avif is refused with a clear message instead of producing a broken PDF.
    2. Decodes the photo locally — your browser's own AVIF decoder, no download needed. The first frame is taken for animated AVIFs. The rotation flag stored in the file is read so the PDF page comes out upright.
    3. Turns the photo into PDF pages with pdf-lib — decoded and re-encoded as a JPEG at your chosen quality, then embedded byte-for-byte. Your original file is never modified.

    What makes this converter different

    The pages that top the results for this search are mostly generic multi-format converters that list PDF as one of many targets, or server-side converters that upload your photos first. The client-side ones we found convert AVIF to JPG, PNG or WebP only — none of them offers PDF output. This page is the only dedicated client-side AVIF-to-PDF page we found that combines a batch of 20 photos with a ZIP download, a choice of one combined PDF or one PDF per photo, Original/A4/Letter page sizes, fit and fill modes, a JPEG quality slider, orientation applied, first-frame honesty for animated AVIFs, and a live network-request counter so you can verify the privacy claim yourself. It runs entirely in your browser — there is no server to upload to.

    When is AVIF-to-PDF the right choice?

    Whenever the destination wants a document, not a picture: job portals and application forms that only accept PDFs, visa and government forms, university and school uploads, photos emailed as one file, and anything that must print exactly as it looks. A PDF also keeps a set of photos in one file, in order, where a folder of images would arrive scattered. AVIF photos turn up everywhere now — Chrome and Edge save them, Squoosh, GIMP and Photoshop export them, and CDNs serve them — so a quick AVIF-to-PDF step is often what stands between a download and a form that accepts it. If the destination accepts images, keep the AVIF — a PDF adds page overhead and no quality.

    Honest limitations

    Some quality is lost

    AVIF is lossy, so detail it discarded is gone before this tool starts — and the JPEG re-encode at your chosen quality is a second lossy step. At quality 90 the loss is invisible in normal use; the PDF can never be higher quality than the AVIF it came from.

    PDFs are larger than AVIFs

    AVIF compresses far better than JPEG, so the same picture takes more bytes as a JPEG in the PDF, plus a small page wrapper. A 300 KB AVIF typically becomes a 1–2 MB PDF page at quality 90. Lower the quality slider to shrink the PDF.

    No text layer

    The PDF pages hold pictures, not text. The PDF is not searchable, and you cannot select or copy words from it. Run it through OCR afterwards if you need searchable text.

    10/12-bit colour folds to 8-bit

    The decode path works in 8 bits per channel, so a 10-bit or 12-bit AVIF loses precision in the PDF. The change is invisible on screen and in print — but it is real, and stated here.

    Animated AVIFs: first frame only

    An animated AVIF holds several frames plus timing. Only the first frame goes into the PDF — the animation is not preserved.

    Metadata is stripped

    Location, camera settings and timestamps are dropped when the pixels are embedded. Only the orientation is read and applied — which is also why a photo's hidden location data never leaves your device. Browsers that cannot decode AVIF at all (Safari before 16.4, and older browsers) show a clear message instead of failing silently — update the browser and try again.

    Frequently asked questions

    Will my AVIF photos lose quality when they become a PDF?

    Yes, a little — and the page is honest about it. AVIF itself is a lossy format, so detail it discarded is gone before this tool starts, and the PDF re-encodes each photo as a JPEG at the quality you pick (90 by default). At quality 90 the loss is invisible in normal viewing and printing; drop the slider towards 50 for smaller files and you will start to see JPEG artefacts in smooth skies and gradients. The PDF can never be higher quality than the AVIF it came from.

    One combined PDF or one PDF per photo?

    Your choice. Per photo (the default) makes one PDF per AVIF, each named after its photo, with a Download all as ZIP button for the whole batch. Combined puts every photo on its own page, in list order, in a single PDF — the right pick for a set of photos going to one form, email or print job. You can reorder files with the ↑ / ↓ buttons before converting; combined mode follows that order.

    Which page size should I choose?

    Original photo size makes each page exactly the size of its photo (1 pixel = 1 point) — best when the PDF is read on screen and page size does not matter. A4 is the safe default for forms and printing in the UK and Europe; Letter matches US forms. Fit keeps the whole photo visible, centred, with its aspect ratio kept and never upscaled; Fill scales the photo to cover the whole page and crops the overflow, and may enlarge a small photo to do it — use it only when every page must be edge-to-edge. Photos are never distorted.

    Will my photos come out the right way up?

    Yes. AVIF photos store a rotation flag in the file (the irot property, or an EXIF orientation tag in some files), and this tool reads that flag and applies it, so the PDF page shows the photo upright. All eight orientations are handled, including mirrored ones. The photo itself is never modified — only the PDF page is rotated.

    What happens with animated AVIFs?

    Only the first frame goes into the PDF. An animated AVIF is a short moving image, and a PDF page holds one still image, so the first frame is converted and the animation is not preserved. If you need the animation as a video or GIF, convert the AVIF to GIF first and keep the motion there.

    Is the PDF searchable, or does it contain text?

    No. The PDF is a fixed-layout document whose pages hold pictures, not text — there is no text layer, so the PDF is not searchable and you cannot select or copy words from it. If you need searchable text, run the PDF through OCR afterwards.

    Do my AVIF photos upload anywhere?

    No. Your photos are decoded and turned into a PDF entirely in your browser — your file data never leaves the device, and the only third-party requests are the site's own analytics, which count page views. You can verify it yourself with the network-request counter in the privacy section below the converter.

    Is there a file size or daily limit?

    No. There is no daily limit and no account. A 25 MB safety cap applies per file and 20 files per batch, because decoding very large AVIFs in the browser is memory-heavy. Most AVIF photos are well under 1 MB, far below the cap.

    Why are the PDFs larger than the AVIFs?

    AVIF compresses far better than JPEG, and this tool re-encodes each photo as a JPEG for the PDF — so the same picture takes more bytes as a JPEG than it did as an AVIF, plus a small page wrapper per PDF page. A 300 KB AVIF typically becomes a 1–2 MB PDF page at quality 90. That is the format, not a failure — and lowering the quality slider shrinks the PDF.

    What happens to 10/12-bit colour, transparency and metadata?

    A 10-bit or 12-bit AVIF folds to 8-bit colour in the PDF — the decode path works in 8 bits per channel, a precision change you cannot see on screen or in print. Transparency, common in AVIF, is flattened onto the background colour you pick in the settings, because JPEG has no alpha channel. All other EXIF and metadata — location, camera settings, timestamps — is dropped; only the orientation is read and applied. Browsers that cannot decode AVIF at all (Safari before 16.4, and older browsers) show a clear message instead of failing silently — update the browser and try again.
