About the AVIF format

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is an open, royalty-free format from the Alliance for Open Media, built on the AV1 video codec. It is often about 50% smaller than JPEG and around 20% smaller than WebP at similar quality.

It supports HDR, wide colour, transparency and animation. When someone cannot open it, send them a copy made with AVIF to JPG or check the file first in the AVIF Analyzer.

Why use AVIF?

Faster page loads

Smaller images mean quicker pages and better Core Web Vitals. Start with JPG to AVIF or PNG to AVIF.

Wide browser support

Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge all show AVIF. For very old browsers, keep a fallback made with AVIF to WebP.

Logos with transparency

AVIF keeps transparent backgrounds at a fraction of the PNG size. Need to cut one out first? Try the AVIF Background Remover.

Lighter animations

Swap heavy GIFs for animated AVIF - often 80-90% smaller with more colours.
