About the output format

When WebP is the right output

WebP is Google's image format — 25-35% smaller than JPG at equivalent visual quality, with support for both lossy and lossless modes plus transparency. Every modern browser supports it. The main use case: cutting page weight on websites. Lighthouse, PageSpeed Insights, and Core Web Vitals audits actively flag JPG/PNG hero images as "serve in next-gen formats" — WebP is the answer.

AVIF to WebP: between two next-gen formats

Both AVIF (AV1 codec) and WebP (VP8/VP8L codec) are modern formats designed to replace JPG on the web. AVIF achieves slightly better compression but has slower encode/decode speeds and less browser support than WebP. The conversion decodes the AV1 bitstream and re-encodes with VP8. Since both are lossy, one additional generation of compression occurs — quality loss is minimal at high quality settings but the file may be 10-20% larger than the AVIF source.

When to convert AVIF to WEBP

Convert AVIF to WebP when you need broader browser compatibility (WebP: 97%+ vs AVIF: 92%+) or when your CMS, CDN, or image pipeline doesn't support AVIF yet. WebP is a safe middle ground between JPG compatibility and modern compression.

About the AVIF Format

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a next-generation image format based on the open-source AV1 video codec, standardized in 2019 by the Alliance for Open Media. It delivers exceptional compression efficiency — typically 20-30% better than WebP and up to 50% better than JPEG at equivalent visual quality. AVIF supports both lossy and lossless compression, making it one of the most versatile modern image formats available.

AVIF is designed for the next era of web imagery, supporting features like HDR (High Dynamic Range), wide colour gamuts with 12-bit depth, and full transparency. Browser support has been growing steadily, with Chrome, Firefox, and Safari 16+ all providing native AVIF rendering. The primary trade-off is encoding speed — AVIF images take significantly longer to compress than JPEG or WebP, which can be a bottleneck for real-time image processing pipelines and high-volume workflows.
