What Is an AVIF File?
AVIF uses the AV1 video codec to compress still images, and usually beats both JPG and WebP on file size at the same quality. It supports transparency, HDR and wide colour. AVIF is a lossy format: it makes files small by discarding detail that is hard to notice. Converting it to another format cannot bring that detail back.
