What is AVIF
File compression is necessary to free up network infrastructure resources. AVIF aims to improve data traffic efficiency and replace the widely used JPEG format in the long term. Compared to JPEG, AVIF offers better quality and compression. There is interest in introducing a new image format among data that you can compress losslessly and lossy. In addition, AVIF supports extended color spaces (wide color gamut, WCG) and features such as graininess, chroma subsampling, and HDR (high dynamic range).
Chrome, Opera, Firefox, and other browsers support AVIF.
