AVIF Uses AV1 Video Compression
AVIF applies the same compression technology as AV1 video. This gives it better compression efficiency than older image formats.
Quality Per Kilobyte Is Best In Class
At the same file size AVIF typically shows fewer artifacts than WebP or JPG. This makes it useful for data-sensitive projects.
Browser Coverage Is Growing
AVIF is supported in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. For public sites, use WebP as a fallback for browsers that do not support AVIF yet.
