AVIF Browser Support
AVIF’s compression is excellent; encode time and toolchain support are the practical limits. Browser display support is strong on evergreen releases.
Quick take: AVIF works in current Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Provide WebP/JPG fallbacks for older clients and convert assets when editors cannot open AVIF.
Good news
Evergreen browsers can display AVIF images on up-to-date versions.
Still convert when
Design tools reject AVIF, or you need a single universally accepted master.
