How to convert AVIF to WebP
- Drop your AVIF files onto the box above, or paste them with Ctrl+V.
- Pick a quality. Around 90% is indistinguishable from the original for most images.
- Your browser does the work on your own machine.
- Save each file from its tile, or take them all at once.
What changes, and what does not
The loss compounds
Both formats throw detail away to get small, so a AVIF that was already compressed once is compressed again on the way to WebP, this time including the artefacts of the first pass. Convert from the original rather than from a copy, and do it once.
Colour
AVIF: millions, with 10 and 12 bit depth and wide colour where the source has it. WebP: 16.7 million, plus transparency, in both lossy and lossless modes.
AVIF and WebP side by side
| AVIF | WebP | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it came from | 2019, built on the AV1 video codec | 2010, from Google, built on the VP8 video codec |
| Throws detail away | Yes | Yes |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
| Animation | Yes | Yes |
| Where it opens | Every current browser. Outside the browser, support is still thin. | Every current browser. Some older desktop software and printers still refuse it. |
| Best at | Photographs on a web page you want as small as they can honestly go | Images on a web page, where it is roughly a third smaller than JPG at the same quality |
How much smaller will the file be?
It depends on the quality you choose. At the default the result is usually a little smaller, because WebP is the more efficient of the two, but the honest answer is that you are re-compressing something already compressed and the gain is modest. Drop the quality and the file drops with it.
Can I convert it back afterwards?
Each pass loses a little more, so a file converted back and forth repeatedly will visibly degrade. Once is fine. Doing it as a habit is not. Always start from whichever copy has been compressed fewest times.
About AVIF
The newest and smallest of the web formats. Support outside browsers is still thin.
Worth knowing: Needs a browser released in the last few years to decode.
About WebP
Smaller than JPG at the same visible quality, and keeps transparency.
Will the quality change?
WebP is lossy, so the image is decoded and re-encoded and a little detail is dropped. At high quality this is invisible. Convert once from your original rather than repeatedly, because each pass compounds.
Other conversions
AVIF also converts to JPG, PNG, PDF and Word.
WebP also comes from HEIC, PNG, JPG, GIF and BMP.
