AVIF to PDF: Put AVIF Images Into a PDF Anyone Can Open

About AVIF to PDF

AVIF is one of the newest image formats on the web. It is built on the AV1 video codec and packs photos into remarkably small files, which is why a growing number of websites and image editors offer it. The catch is support: plenty of software, older devices and office workflows still can’t open an .avif file at all. A PDF opens almost anywhere, so converting is a practical way to share AVIF pictures with people whose tools haven’t caught up.

The PDF format has no way to store AVIF data, so the converter decodes each image and re-encodes it as JPEG, the most widely supported picture format inside PDFs. Each image gets its own page on a white background, and you decide whether the result is one combined PDF or a separate PDF per image.

Decoding is done by your browser’s own AVIF support rather than an add-on library. That keeps the page light, but it means the browser has to be reasonably up to date. Recent versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari all read AVIF; an outdated browser shows an error asking you to update instead of producing a broken file.

How to use AVIF to PDF

  1. Load the AVIF filesDrop .avif images onto the page or browse for them on your device. A batch can include up to 500 files.
  2. Pick paper, order and qualityChoose Letter, A4 or Fit to photo, set the order (date taken, file name, or as added) and leave quality at 92 or move it anywhere between 50 and 100.
  3. Convert and keep the PDFStart the conversion, then download the combined PDF, or grab the individual PDFs one at a time or bundled in a ZIP.

When people use it

  • Sharing with someone on older software

    A relative’s laptop or a locked-down work PC can’t preview .avif attachments. Send a PDF instead and they can open the pictures with the reader they already have.

  • Exports from an image editor

    Your editing app saved a set of finished photos as AVIF to save space. Gathering them into one PDF in file-name order gives you a proof sheet to review on screen or print for a client.

  • Pictures saved from a site that serves AVIF

    Some sites hand AVIF to browsers that accept it, so a saved diagram or product photo arrives in that format. A PDF copy can go straight into an email, a support ticket or a print queue.

Expect a bigger file than the AVIF originals

AVIF’s main strength is efficiency: it usually stores a photo in fewer bytes than JPEG at comparable visual quality. Because the PDF holds JPEG versions, the converted file is commonly larger than the AVIF images you started with. That is normal, not a fault. To keep it down:

  • Lower the quality slider; settings in the 80s still look good for most photos.
  • Choose a smaller size. By default the long edge is capped at 2,560 pixels, and 1920 or 1280 px makes a noticeably lighter file.
  • Shrink the finished document with Compress PDF, which recompresses the photos inside it.

For a big batch, try a handful of images first, look at the resulting file size and settle on quality and size before converting the rest. Switching only the page size or the order afterwards rebuilds the PDF without converting the images again.

Color range and photo information

AVIF can hold wide-gamut and high dynamic range images. Pages in this PDF are standard JPEG pictures, so an HDR image loses its extra brightness range in the conversion. Camera details and location data stored in an AVIF file are also left out: the PDF contains no EXIF or GPS block, just the images and basic document properties such as its creation time.

Browser support and other limits

Whether an AVIF file opens depends on your browser, not on pd00. MDN’s image format guide lists which browsers decode it. If you see the update message, install the latest version of your browser and reload this page.

  • Words that appear in the pictures don’t become searchable text, because this converter performs no OCR; OCR PDF can add a text layer afterwards.
  • Big batches lean on your device’s memory, so a computer copes better than a phone.
  • Pages on Letter and A4 sit inside 0.5-inch margins and turn landscape for wide images; Fit to photo removes the margins.
  • Prefer image files to a document? Try AVIF to JPG or AVIF to PNG.

The AVIF files are read and converted inside your browser tab, never uploaded. Here is how to confirm it.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly is AVIF?

The name stands for AV1 Image File Format: still pictures compressed with the same technology as AV1 video, so photos stay small without looking worse. Current browsers read it, but many desktop apps and older devices still do not.

Why does the converter say my browser needs updating?

pd00 uses the AVIF decoder that is built into your browser. Older versions don’t have one, so the tool stops with a message instead of making an empty or damaged PDF. Updating the browser fixes it.

Can I convert AVIF to PDF on an iPhone?

It works in Safari 16.4 and newer. Short batches work well on a phone; for hundreds of large images, a computer has more memory to spare.

Does the PDF keep the AVIF compression?

No. PDF readers can’t decode AVIF, so each image is stored as a JPEG. The quality slider controls how much detail that JPEG keeps.

How do I combine many AVIF images in one PDF?

Select them all at once and keep one combined PDF as the output. Every image becomes one page, in the order you pick.

Can I control the page order?

Choose date taken, file name or the order you added the files. File names with numbers sort naturally, so photo-9 lands before photo-10.

Do my AVIF files leave my computer?

No. All decoding and PDF building happens locally, and the tool keeps working offline after the page loads. Follow the verification steps to see it for yourself.
