Convert WEBP to AVIF

WebP is a modern image format developed by Google that offers superior compression for web graphics. It supports both lossy and lossless compression, providing smaller file sizes compared to JPEG and PNG while maintaining high image quality. WebP images feature transparency like PNG files and can display animations like GIF files. This format helps websites load faster and reduces bandwidth usage.

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.

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.

.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.

You can. Framebird decodes the WebP pixels and encodes a new AVIF file. AVIF output can lose detail, even at the highest setting. The default quality is 90, and quality 100 does not guarantee an identical image. Source metadata is not copied to the new file. Keep your original WebP in case you need the full source later.
