Why Convert HEIC to AVIF?
AVIF is the next generation of image compression. Based on the AV1 video codec, it's an open, royalty-free format backed by Google, Apple, Netflix, and other major tech companies. AVIF offers the best compression of any widely supported format — files are up to 50% smaller than JPG at the same quality.
If you're building for the future, AVIF is where things are heading. It supports HDR, wide color gamuts, and transparency, making it one of the most capable image formats ever created. Converting your HEIC photos to AVIF future-proofs your image library.
