AVIF: the next-generation image format
AVIF is based on the AV1 video codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media (Google, Apple, Netflix, Mozilla). It offers 30-50% smaller files than JPEG and 20% smaller than WebP at equivalent visual quality.
As of 2026, AVIF is supported in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari 16+. However, many desktop applications (older Photoshop, Windows Photo Viewer, most email clients) still cannot open AVIF files, making conversion to JPG necessary for sharing.
Converting JPG/PNG to AVIF is useful for web developers who want to serve smaller images. Note that AVIF encoding via Canvas is currently supported only in Chrome and Edge browsers.
