What is AVIF?
An AV1-based image format with efficient compression. A local image engine handles both reading and writing.
Technical details
AVIF stores AV1-coded image items inside an ISO Base Media File Format and HEIF-derived container. [1]
Background and compatibility
The AOMedia specification defines AVIF as an AV1 image-file profile, distinct from an AV1 video bitstream in a media container. [1]
