AVIF to PostScript

Why convert AVIF to PostScript?

The main difference: AVIF is a lossy or lossless format, while PostScript is a vector format. AVIF can have a transparent background, PostScript can't.

Where PostScript works best

PostScript is ideal for print jobs and printer workflows. Converting gives you a file that works in the apps and websites that ask for PostScript.

What is an AVIF file?

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern image format based on the AV1 video codec, developed by the Alliance for Open Media - Google, Apple, Microsoft, Netflix and others. It typically produces smaller files than both JPG and WebP at the same visual quality.

AVIF supports transparency, HDR and wide color, which makes it a favorite for fast websites. Support outside browsers is still patchy, so downloaded AVIF files often need converting.

How to open an AVIF file

Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari 16+ display AVIF. Windows 11 opens it in Photos once the free AV1 Video Extension is installed; macOS Ventura and later preview it. For editors and forms that refuse it, convert to JPG or PNG.

What is a PostScript file?

PostScript (.ps) is Adobe's page description language from 1984 - the language many professional printers speak. A .ps file describes a whole page or document as instructions for drawing text, shapes and images.

PostScript files mostly come from print workflows and "print to file" output. PDF was built on the same ideas and has replaced it for everyday use.

How to open a PostScript file

Ghostscript and GSview open PostScript files on Windows; macOS Preview handled them up to Monterey. Adobe Acrobat Distiller converts them to PDF. Converting to PDF or PNG is the easiest way to view one today.
