Converting WebP to AVIF is a further upgrade in modern image formats. While WebP is already more efficient than JPEG, AVIF can reduce file size by an additional 20-30% on top of WebP. This upgrade is especially suitable for websites already using WebP, further enhancing performance and user experience.
Format compression efficiency comparison:
• JPEG → WebP: Reduce by 25-35%
• WebP → AVIF: Further reduce by 20-30%
• JPEG → AVIF: Total reduction by 40-50%
This means upgrading from WebP to AVIF can achieve additional performance improvements on top of existing optimizations, especially suitable for applications pursuing ultimate optimization.
WebP to AVIF compatibility:
• Preserves WebP's transparency information
• Supports lossy and lossless WebP
• Automatically processes animated WebP (converts to static)
• Maintains color space information
The conversion process fully retains WebP's superior features while achieving AVIF's higher compression efficiency.
Animated WebP conversion instructions:
• Automatically extracts all frames
• Converts each frame to an independent AVIF file
• Packages into a ZIP file for download
• Preserves original frame rate information
Note: AVIF currently mainly supports static images; animated WebP will be split into multiple static AVIF files.
WebP to AVIF quality recommendations:
• Lossy WebP: Quality 65-75
• Lossless WebP: Use lossless storage AVIF mode
• Transparent WebP: Quality 75-85
• High-quality WebP: Quality 80-90
It is recommended to select corresponding AVIF parameters based on the original WebP's quality level to achieve the best quality-size balance.
Q: When to upgrade from WebP to AVIF?
A: When the target users mainly use modern browsers that support AVIF.
Q: How to transition smoothly?
A: You can provide both WebP and AVIF, letting the browser choose automatically.
Q: How to verify the effect after conversion?
A: Compare file size and visual quality to ensure the upgrade brings actual benefits.
