WEBP vs AVIF for Websites
AVIF and WebP are next-gen web formats. The choice is about encoder support, decode cost, and how your stack serves alternatives — not about Instagram crops.
Quick take: Try AVIF for photo weight wins; WebP when toolchain support is simpler. Always plan a JPG/PNG fallback.
AVIF strengths
Excellent compression for photographs and complex scenes. Great when you control the CDN and can feature-detect.
WebP strengths
Mature ecosystem, wide browser support, and easy converter coverage. Often “good enough” size savings with less ops friction.
Practical conversion path
Export JPG/PNG masters → AVIF and/or WebP delivery copies via Format Convertly → keep fallbacks in the same asset set.
Key points
- AVIF ≈ max compression; WebP ≈ easy wins.
- Fallbacks still matter.
- Compare with a quality slider before shipping.
