In the world of web performance and design, choosing the right image format is key. If you’re building a fast, beautiful, and mobile-friendly site, two contenders rise above the rest: AVIF and WebP.

But which one should you use? 🤔
Let’s break it down and help you make the smart choice for your next project — with a little help from Li Converter of course! 😉

📌 What Are AVIF and WebP?

🔷 WebP

Developed by Google, WebP has become a go-to format for web developers. It offers:

  • 🗜️ Superior compression compared to JPEG and PNG

  • 📷 Support for transparency (like PNG)

  • 🎞️ Animation support (like GIF)

It’s supported by all modern browsers and gives you smaller file sizes without sacrificing too much quality.

🔶 AVIF

AVIF is the new kid on the block, built on the AV1 video codec. It brings:

  • 💯 Even better compression than WebP

  • 🌈 HDR and wide color gamut support

  • 🌟 Superior detail and clarity at smaller sizes

AVIF is supported by most modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and is quickly becoming the new gold standard in image compression.

⚖️ AVIF vs. WebP: Feature Comparison
