Why Convert AVIF to WebP?
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a cutting-edge format offering superior compression and quality. However, its adoption is still growing, and it might not be supported by all browsers, devices, or content management systems. WebP, developed by Google, offers a great balance between file size and quality and enjoys much wider support across the web ecosystem. Converting AVIF to WebP ensures your images are viewable by a larger audience while still benefiting from modern compression techniques compared to older formats like JPG or PNG.
Benefits of Converting AVIF to WebP
- Broader Compatibility: WebP is supported by more browsers and platforms than AVIF currently.
- Good Compression: WebP offers significant file size reduction compared to JPG and PNG, with both lossy and lossless options.
- Feature Rich: WebP supports transparency and animation.
- Web Performance: Smaller file sizes lead to faster loading times.
AVIF vs. WebP Format Differences
| Feature | AVIF | WebP |
|---|---|---|
| Compression Efficiency | Superior | Very Good |
| File Size (Typical) | Smallest | Smaller (than JPG/PNG) |
| Quality | Excellent | Excellent |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
| Animation | Yes (AVIS) | Yes |
| HDR / Wide Gamut | Yes | Limited (via VP8 profile) |
| Browser Support | Growing | Widespread |
Converting from AVIF to WebP might result in a slight increase in file size or a minor decrease in quality at the same file size, as AVIF generally has more advanced compression. However, for compatibility purposes, WebP is often the preferred modern format.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is WebP better than AVIF?
Technically, AVIF offers better compression efficiency (smaller files for the same quality). However, WebP has much broader browser and tool support, making it a more practical choice in many current web development scenarios.
Will converting AVIF to WebP reduce quality?
If converting from lossy AVIF to lossy WebP, there might be a slight degradation as data is re-compressed. If converting from lossless AVIF to lossless WebP, quality should be preserved, but the file size might increase slightly compared to the original AVIF. The goal is usually compatibility, not quality improvement.
Why not just use AVIF everywhere?
While AVIF is technically superior in compression, its support isn't universal yet. Older browsers (like Internet Explorer, which is unsupported but still exists) and some platforms or content management systems may not display AVIF images correctly. WebP provides a safer fallback with good performance.
