Is AVIF better than WebP?

AVIF offers better compression than WebP — typically 20-30% smaller at the same quality. However, WebP has slightly higher browser support (96% vs 93%). For most use cases, both are excellent choices over JPEG.

Which browsers support AVIF?

Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, Safari 16.4+, Edge 121+. Global browser support is about 93%. For older browsers, use the HTML <picture> element with a WebP or JPEG fallback.

Will converting to AVIF lose quality?

At default quality settings, the visual difference is imperceptible. AVIF uses advanced compression that actually preserves details better than JPEG at the same file size — or achieves the same quality at half the size.

Yes! This batch AVIF converter lets you drag and drop multiple files at once. No file count limit, no file size limit. All files — png to avif, jpg to avif, webp to avif — are processed locally in your browser.

When to use a fallback

For maximum compatibility, use the HTML <picture> element with AVIF as the primary source and WebP/JPEG as fallback: <picture><source srcset="image.avif" type="image/avif"><source srcset="image.webp" type="image/webp"><img src="image.jpg" alt="..."></picture>

HTML

Use the <picture> element for browser-compatible delivery with fallbacks (see code example above).

CSS
