Frequently asked questions
Is AVIF better than WebP?+
AVIF consistently outperforms WebP in compression benchmarks, delivering 20–30% smaller files at the same quality. However, AVIF encoding is slower and older Safari (pre-16.4) doesn't support it. For maximum compatibility, serve AVIF to supporting browsers with WebP or JPEG as a fallback.
Which browsers support AVIF?+
Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, Safari 16.4+, and Edge 121+ all support AVIF natively. This covers approximately 92% of users globally as of 2024. Use the HTML <picture> element to serve AVIF with a JPEG or WebP fallback for older browsers.
Does AVIF work with Shopify, WordPress, or Cloudflare?+
Yes. Cloudflare Images and Cloudflare Image Resizing auto-serve AVIF to supporting browsers. WordPress with ShortPixel, Imagify, or similar plugins handles AVIF conversion. Shopify's CDN serves WebP but not AVIF natively — manually upload AVIF assets to theme file sections.
