Why AVIF?

Dramatically smaller files

AVIF can achieve ~50% smaller files than JPEG at the same quality. That's a big deal for bandwidth and page speed.

Better quality preservation

AVIF handles gradients and fine details better than JPEG. Less banding, fewer artifacts, especially at lower file sizes.

93% browser support

All major browsers support AVIF now. For the remaining 7%, you can use the <picture> element with JPEG fallback.

Common questions

Will my photos look as good?

Often better. AVIF preserves fine details and gradients that JPEG tends to muddy. The difference is most noticeable in skies, shadows, and skin tones.

When should I stick with JPEG?

For archival (JPEG is more universally readable), or when you need fast encoding. AVIF encoding is slower than JPEG.

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens in your browser using WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device.
