How to convert WEBP to AVIF
- Choose your files. Click Select File or drag your WEBP files into the upload box. You can add many at once.
- Pick the settings. AVIF is already selected as the output format. Adjust Quality and Max dimension if you want smaller files.
- Download. Each file appears in the list when it is ready. Download them one by one, or all together with Download all.
Why convert WEBP to AVIF?
If your site already uses WebP, AVIF can shrink images further, often by another 20 to 30 percent. That matters for large photo galleries and product pages.
When to keep the WEBP
Keep the WebP as a fallback for browsers and apps that cannot show AVIF, and as a copy that is quick to convert again.
Tips for the best result
- Quality 60 to 70 usually matches the look of a WebP at 75 to 80.
- Transparency is kept.
- Converting from the original JPG or PNG gives slightly better results than converting from WebP, if you still have it.
Common problems and fixes
- My animated WebP became a still image.
- Only the first frame of an animated WebP is converted.
- The AVIF is not smaller.
- WebP files that are already heavily compressed have little left to save. Keep the WebP in that case.
WEBP
WEBP – WebP
WebP is an image format developed by Google. It supports lossy and lossless compression, transparency and animation, and at comparable visual quality its files are usually smaller than JPG or PNG. That is why it is popular for websites, and current versions of all major browsers can display it.

AVIF – AV1 Image File Format
AVIF is a modern image format built on the AV1 video codec. It supports transparency and high dynamic range, and it often produces the smallest files of any web image format at a given quality. Encoding is slower than for JPG or WebP, and older browsers and some apps cannot open it.

Converting WebP to AVIF
- AVIF files are usually smaller than WebP files at similar visual quality, so converting WebP to AVIF typically saves storage and speeds up page loads.
- AVIF often gives the smallest files, but older browsers and some apps cannot open it, and it takes longer to create.
- If the WebP file is animated, only its first frame is converted.
Frequently asked questions
Do all browsers support AVIF?
Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari do. Some older browsers and apps do not.
Will converting WebP to AVIF lose quality?
Each lossy conversion loses a little detail. At sensible settings the difference is hard to see.
How do I convert WEBP to AVIF?
Click Select File or drop your WebP file onto the upload box. Pick the quality and maximum size, and the converted AVIF appears in the list below with a download button. You can add many files at once and download them together as a ZIP.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark. To keep the service available for everyone there is a 95MB limit per file and a cap on how many files one connection can process in a short period.
Are my files stored?
Your upload is used only to make the converted file. Images are processed in memory; other files are written to a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes. Nothing is kept after the result has been sent back.
Will quality drop?
For images, a little, by design: the image is re-encoded at the Quality you choose (default 75%). Audio and video are re-encoded with high-quality settings; documents keep their text and layout as far as the target format allows. Converting never restores detail that is already missing from the original.
How this works: your file is uploaded over HTTPS and converted on this server with open-source engines (libvips for images, FFmpeg for audio and video, LibreOffice and Pandoc for documents, Calibre for ebooks, Ghostscript and Inkscape for PDF and vector files). Images are processed in memory; other files use a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes.
