WebP to AVIF

Why convert WebP to AVIF?

WebP and AVIF are both lossy or lossless formats. AVIF is the usual choice for the smallest high-quality images for the web.

Transparent areas stay transparent

WebP and AVIF both handle transparency, so anything see-through in the original is still see-through after conversion.

Lighter images for your website

At the same visual quality, AVIF files are noticeably smaller than JPG or PNG. Lighter images mean faster pages, better Core Web Vitals and a small boost for SEO.

What is a WebP file?

WebP is an image format Google introduced in 2010 to make websites load faster. It can compress photos lossily like JPG, or graphics losslessly like PNG - usually with 25-35% smaller files - and it supports transparency and animation too.

That's why so many images you save from websites, including Google Images, arrive as .webp files. Browsers love them; older software and many upload forms still don't.

How to open a WebP file

Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari display WebP directly - drag the file into a browser window. Windows 10/11 Photos and Paint and Mac Preview (Big Sur and later) open it as well. If an app or website rejects it, convert it to JPG or PNG.

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.
