AVIF, a new image format, is gaining popularity for its efficient and high-quality visuals. Built on the AV1 video codec, it offers superior compression, HDR support, lossy and lossless compression, transparency, and animation capabilities. AVIF's advantages make it suitable for web use, particularly for online content where balancing quality with fast load times is essential.
AVIF excels in scenarios such as high-resolution photos, responsive web design, and interactive graphics. However, it may not be the best choice for every situation, considering compatibility issues and processing time. To get the most out of AVIF, select appropriate compression settings, batch convert large projects, test on multiple devices, and preserve originals.
