About AVIF Format
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a next-generation image format based on the AV1 video codec. Developed by the Alliance for Open Media, AVIF delivers exceptional compression efficiency, often 50% smaller than JPEG and 20% smaller than WebP at similar quality levels. AVIF supports HDR, wide color gamut, transparency, and animation, making it ideal for modern web applications. For maximum compatibility, consider using our AVIF to JPG converter when sharing with users on older browsers.

Frequently Asked Questions
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern image format developed by the Alliance for Open Media. It uses the AV1 video codec for image compression, delivering files that are typically 50% smaller than JPEG and 20% smaller than WebP at equivalent quality. AVIF supports transparency, animation, HDR, and wide color gamut.
In terms of compression, AVIF generally outperforms WebP by 20-30% for similar quality. However, WebP has broader browser support (97% vs 93%). For maximum performance, use AVIF with a WebP fallback. Our AVIF to WebP converter makes this easy.
Most modern web browsers can open AVIF files directly. On Windows 11 and macOS Ventura+, native support is included. For older systems, use our AVIF to JPG converter or AVIF to PNG converter to create compatible files. Image editors like Photoshop (with plugins), GIMP 2.10+, and Paint.NET also support AVIF.
Yes! AVIF fully supports alpha channel transparency, just like PNG. This makes it excellent for logos, icons, and graphics with transparent backgrounds. Use our PNG to AVIF converter to preserve transparency while reducing file size.
Yes, AVIF supports animation sequences similar to GIF but with much better compression. Animated AVIF files can be 90% smaller than equivalent GIFs. Use our GIF to Animated AVIF converter to create compact animations. For broader compatibility, check our GIF tools section.
On average, AVIF files are 50% smaller than JPEG at equivalent visual quality. For example, a 500KB JPEG might be only 250KB as AVIF with no visible difference. Use our JPG to AVIF converter to start saving bandwidth immediately.
Many of our converters run directly in your browser using modern JavaScript technology, ensuring your images never leave your device. For complex AVIF operations requiring specialized libraries, secure server-side processing is used with automatic file deletion after conversion.
