What Looty Tools requires
The dedicated AVIF to JPG tool validates avif/avis brands, then asks the browser to decode the image. Decode failure becomes a clear compatibility error with no download and no usage count.
What to try next
Update to a current Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari release, or convert on a device whose browser already opens the AVIF.
Still-image output only
Even when an avis (animated) brand is present, conversion uses the first decodable frame only.
