Compress AVIF

Make AVIF images even smaller, by quality or to an exact size like 100 KB. If your browser cannot write AVIF, our server encodes it and deletes it right after download - new to AVIF? Start with PNG to AVIF or JPG to AVIF.

How to Compress an AVIF Image

  1. Add your AVIF files. Drop one or up to 30 AVIF images into the box, browse for them, or paste with Ctrl+V.
  2. Pick the quality or a size. Keep Balanced (quality 65), or open Target file size and pick 100 KB, 200 KB, 500 KB or 1 MB.
  3. Compare. Click a file and drag across the before and after view. Every size shown is the real file size.
  4. Download. Save files one by one, or press Download - three or more files come as one ZIP.

Where Does the Compression Happen?

Reading AVIF works in every modern browser, but writing it does not: Chrome and Edge cannot encode AVIF in a web page yet.

When your browser can, the AVIF is made right on your device. When it cannot, the page sends the decoded image to our own encoder as a lossless PNG over HTTPS. The result comes straight back and is deleted from our server the moment it is downloaded - leftovers are swept within 4 hours.

The panel next to the files always tells you which path is used.

Which AVIF Quality Should You Use?

QualityLooks likeGood for
80 (Light)Same as the originalPhotography, hero images
65 (Balanced)Very closeMost web images
45 (Strong)Softer fine detailThumbnails, previews
Below 35Smeared texturesOnly for strict size limits

AVIF numbers are not the same as JPG numbers: AVIF at 65 usually looks as good as JPG at 85 while being much smaller. HDR and 10 or 12-bit AVIF files are saved as standard 8-bit images.

Other Compressors and Converters

Need a format that opens everywhere? AVIF to JPG and AVIF to PNG convert your files. Working with other formats? Try Compress WebP, Compress JPG, Compress PNG or Compress HEIC.

Frequently Asked Questions

Drop it into the box above. Balanced (quality 65) works for most images; for an exact limit open Target file size and pick 100 KB or 200 KB.

Only when your browser cannot write AVIF itself - Chrome and Edge cannot yet. The image is sent over HTTPS to our own encoder and deleted as soon as the result is downloaded. In browsers with an AVIF encoder nothing leaves your device.

AVIF compression is lossy, but at quality 60-70 the difference is very hard to see. Use the before and after view at 100% to check.

Yes, transparent areas stay transparent.

Not yet - animated AVIF files are kept untouched so the animation still plays.

AVIF is already very efficient. If a new encode would be bigger, the tool keeps your original instead - it never makes a file bigger.

The browser decodes them to standard 8-bit colour, so the compressed file is a normal SDR image. Keep the original if you need HDR.
