FAQ
Q. Is it safe to ship AVIF today?
Yes — the major browsers all support it. Use <picture> with AVIF as the primary and WebP/JPEG as fallbacks; older clients still get a normal image. "Move forward without risk" is genuinely the right description today.
Q. How is it different from WebP Converter.?
WebP Converter. specializes in WebP, AVIF Converter. specializes in AVIF. "AVIF-first site" → AVIF Converter. "Wide compatibility first" → WebP. The best practice is to use both and compose <picture> fallbacks.
Q. Can macOS Preview.app open AVIF?
Preview.app and Safari can open AVIF on macOS 13 Ventura or later. For earlier versions, use the QuickLook plugin bundled with Image Tool+, or write out PNG/JPEG alongside AVIF.
Q. How much quality do I lose?
At equal file size, AVIF is clearly better than JPEG. Conversely, you can drop AVIF down to half of JPEG's size and still match or beat its perceived quality. Adjust quality while comparing in the app's preview.
Q. System requirements?
macOS 11 Big Sur or later. Universal Binary for both Apple Silicon and Intel.
