How do I convert an AVIF file to jpg on Windows 11 PC?
I totally get the frustration with AVIF files – they don’t open in the default Photos app, and it's annoying when you just want to see your images. When I ran into this, I used Any2Pic to convert AVIF to JPG. It’s super straightforward, handles bulk files easily, and keeps the quality intact. Give it a try; it should do the trick.
I followed this tutorial: (works like a charm!)

It's probably your browser converting it to another format. Google is trying to enforce their .webp and .avif formats upon users, converting .jpg files to one of these formats when downloading them. Chrome and Edge, and some other browsers as well, do this. Use Firefox, if it doesn't save the actual original format by default, there is a setting where you can make it do this.
Just converting .webp or .avif back to .jpg is not a good solution, as this means 2x recompression of the original picture which is reducing its quality.
