What is AVIF?

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a next-generation, open-source image format developed by the Alliance for Open Media. It uses the AV1 video codec for image compression, delivering high-quality images at dramatically smaller file sizes compared to JPEG, PNG, and even WebP.

Key features:

  • Superior compression (smaller files, same or better quality)

  • Supports HDR and wide color gamut

  • Both lossy and lossless compression

  • Transparency (like PNG)

  • Animation (like GIF)

  • Royalty-free and open-source
