Generation loss — quality may degrade

AVI uses lossy compression, and so does JPEG. Converting means decoding and re-encoding — each cycle can permanently degrade quality. Convert from the original source file whenever possible.

Some metadata may not survive

Your AVI file may contain RIFF chunks metadata. JPEG has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.

What compression artifacts to expect

JPEG lossy compression can produce blockiness and mosquito noise around sharp edges. At the high quality settings CocoConvert uses by default, these are usually invisible to the eye. Lower quality settings trade visual fidelity for smaller file sizes.
