What is an AVIF file?

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern, highly efficient image format that supports HDR, high compression, and transparency. It delivers very small file sizes with strong visual quality but isn't yet universally supported across all tools.

How to open an AVIF file?

Modern browsers and many image viewers now open AVIF, but some CMSs, printers, and legacy apps do not. If you run into compatibility or workflow issues, convert AVIF to PNG, JPG, WEBP, or TIFF using the converter above.

Editing tools like GIMP or Adobe Photoshop handle AVIF with proper codecs and can export to other formats as needed.

Browse AVIF converters by target

Each pair has its own page with target-specific encode notes, file-size expectations, and metadata behavior.

AVIF to PNG

EXIF, XMP, and alpha survive; HDR color tone-maps to sRGB in a lossless container.

AVIF to JPG

Standard EXIF survives; HDR and modern color spaces tone-map to sRGB.

AVIF to WEBP

Modern-to-modern: EXIF, XMP, and alpha carry across; HDR tone-maps to standard.

AVIF to TIFF

EXIF and ICC profile survive; HDR tone-maps to standard range in a lossless container.
