What is the RAW file type?
A .raw file contains unprocessed, uncompressed image data directly from a digital camera's sensor. Unlike JPEG or PNG formats, RAW files preserve all original image information, allowing photographers maximum control over post-processing adjustments like white balance, exposure, and color. These files are typically larger and require specific software for viewing and editing, but offer superior image quality and flexibility.
What is the AVIF file type?
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern image format that offers superior compression and quality compared to JPEG, PNG, and WebP. Developed by the Alliance for Open Media, AVIF supports both lossy and lossless compression, HDR, wide color gamut, and transparency. Its efficient encoding reduces file sizes while maintaining excellent image quality, making it ideal for web content and digital media storage.
Why should I use AVIF instead of JPG?
AVIF output is useful when you want small files, for example on a website, and the people or software receiving them support AVIF. It can be smaller than JPG at similar visual quality, but results vary by image and quality setting. Support is less universal than JPG, so check compatibility before sending AVIF files.
Does AVIF support transparency?
.AVIF image format fully supports transparency through an alpha channel, similar to PNG files. The format handles both binary (fully transparent or opaque) and variable transparency levels (partial opacity). When compressing images with transparency, AVIF maintains high quality while achieving better compression ratios compared to PNG and WebP formats. This makes AVIF an excellent choice for web graphics requiring transparency, such as logos, icons, and overlays.
Do I lose quality when converting to AVIF?
Yes, some quality loss is possible. Framebird decodes your RAW file into pixels and encodes a new AVIF file, which can lose detail. The default quality setting is 90, and even quality 100 does not guarantee an identical image. The AVIF is a rendered image, not an editable RAW original, and source metadata is not copied. Keep your original RAW file for future edits.
