JPG Quality Settings Guide
Understanding and optimizing JPG quality settings when using our AVIF to JPG converter
Understanding JPG Quality
When converting AVIF to JPG using our free converter, one of the most important settings you can adjust is the JPG quality parameter. This setting controls the compression level applied to your converted JPG images.
JPG is a lossy compression format, which means it reduces file size by permanently discarding certain image data. The quality setting (ranging from 0-100) determines how much data is retained versus discarded:
- Higher quality values (80-100) retain more image data, resulting in better visual quality but larger file sizes
- Lower quality values (0-50) discard more image data, resulting in smaller file sizes but reduced visual quality
- Medium quality values (60-80) provide a balance between file size and visual quality
Quality Levels Comparison
Here's how different quality settings affect visual quality and file size when using our AVIF to JPG converter free:
| Quality Setting | Visual Quality | File Size Reduction | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Very Low (10-30) | Poor, visible artifacts | Maximum reduction (90%+) | Thumbnails, previews |
| Low (40-50) | Fair, noticeable artifacts | High reduction (80-90%) | Web thumbnails, previews |
| Medium (60-70) | Good, minor artifacts | Moderate reduction (70-80%) | General web use, social media |
| High (75-85) | Very good, barely noticeable artifacts | Balanced reduction (60-70%) | Photos, general purpose (default) |
| Very High (90-95) | Excellent, virtually no artifacts | Lower reduction (40-60%) | Professional photos, printing |
| Maximum (100) | Best possible, no visible artifacts | Minimal reduction (20-40%) | Archiving, professional use |
Recommended Settings by Usage
Different use cases call for different quality settings. Here are our recommendations for specific scenarios:
Social Media
Social media platforms usually recompress uploaded images anyway, so using a medium quality setting provides a good balance. Files upload faster while still looking good on most platforms.
Website Images
For images on your website, using the default 80 quality setting provides a good balance between loading speed and visual quality. This setting works well for most website photos and graphics.
Thumbnails
For small thumbnail images, you can use lower quality settings since compression artifacts are less noticeable at smaller sizes. This dramatically reduces file size for gallery previews.
Photography & Printing
For professional photography, archiving, or images that will be printed, use the highest quality settings to minimize any loss of detail and preserve the original quality as much as possible.
