  2. Set the Quality; around 60 is a good starting point for AVIF.

Frequently asked questions

What is AVIF?

AVIF is a modern image format based on the AV1 video codec. It often gives smaller files than WebP or JPEG at the same visual quality.

Is AVIF better than WebP?

AVIF usually compresses further, while WebP encodes faster and is supported by slightly older browsers. Both keep transparency. Compare them with Image to WebP.

Which browsers support AVIF?

Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari display AVIF. For older browsers, serve a WebP or JPEG fallback with the HTML picture element.

Does it work if my browser can't save AVIF?

Yes. When a browser can't encode AVIF itself, a built-in libavif encoder runs in your browser instead.

Why does AVIF conversion take longer?

AVIF encoding does more work to find a small file, so it is slower than JPEG or WebP, especially for large images.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Images are encoded to AVIF in your browser.

What AVIF output here does and doesn't include

When to keep JPEG instead

Many upload forms, email clients and desktop apps still don't accept AVIF. Use AVIF for your own website, where you control the HTML, and keep JPEG for sharing. If someone sends you an AVIF you can't open, use AVIF to JPG.
