Convert WebP to AVIF in 3 Steps

No account, no install, no queue. Drop your WebP files in and the AVIF versions are ready to download.

  1. Step 1

    Drop your images in

    Drag files onto the page, click to browse, or drop in a ZIP and every supported image inside is pulled out. JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, GIF and BMP all work, mixed together in the same batch.

  2. Step 2

    Adjust if you want to

    Choose your output format and drag the quality slider. That is the whole setup. Settings holds a KB target, resizing and batch renaming if you want them, and can stay closed if you do not.

  3. Step 3

    Download your AVIF files

    Conversion starts on its own, so there is usually nothing to press. Batches over 40 wait for one click so nothing runs away with your machine. Download files one at a time or take the whole batch as a single ZIP.

Why Convert WebP to AVIF?

WebP was a major leap forward from JPEG, but AVIF takes things further. Developed by an alliance including Google, Apple, Netflix, and Mozilla, AVIF delivers 20–30% smaller file sizes than WebP at the same visual quality. If you're serving images at scale, that difference means real bandwidth savings and faster page loads. AVIF also retains full transparency support and adds HDR and wide color gamut capabilities that WebP doesn't have.

WebP

WebP Image Format

WebP is Google's modern web format. A significant improvement over JPEG and PNG for most use cases. It's widely supported in browsers and handles both lossy and lossless compression with transparency. But with AVIF now broadly supported across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, WebP's size advantage has been surpassed by a newer generation.

Lossy + lossless modes
Full alpha transparency
25–34% smaller than JPEG
No HDR or wide color gamut
AVIF

AV1 Image File Format

AVIF is the image container format built on the AV1 video codec. The same technology powering high-efficiency streaming on Netflix and YouTube. It achieves compression ratios that beat both JPEG and WebP, with better quality retention at low settings. It's the format major browsers have committed to, and it's the best choice for modern web delivery.

20–30% smaller than WebP
Full transparency + HDR support
Supported in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge
Best quality at low file sizes

When You Need WebP to AVIF

If WebP is already your baseline, converting to AVIF is the next logical step toward faster, leaner web delivery.

Reducing CDN Bandwidth Costs

If you're serving thousands of images through a CDN, switching from WebP to AVIF can reduce image bandwidth by 20–30%. At scale, that's a meaningful cost reduction on monthly CDN bills.

Core Web Vitals Optimization

Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) is directly tied to image size. Converting hero images and product shots from WebP to AVIF can meaningfully improve LCP scores. Especially on mobile connections.

E-Commerce Product Image Libraries

Product galleries with hundreds of images see compounding benefits from AVIF compression. Smaller product images mean faster browsing, better mobile experience, and reduced server storage costs.

Photo Portfolios & Media Sites

Photographers and media publishers serving large galleries benefit enormously from AVIF's superior quality-to-size ratio. Visitors get sharper images that load faster, especially on high-DPI displays.

Building Multi-Format Asset Pipelines

Modern best practice is to serve AVIF as the primary format with WebP and JPEG fallbacks for older browsers. Use this tool to generate the AVIF layer of your asset stack.

Upgrading Existing WebP Image Archives

If you already made the switch from JPEG to WebP a few years ago, now is a good time to convert those WebP archives to AVIF. Browser support has reached a level where AVIF is a safe default for nearly all web users.

  • The batch handling is the reason I keep this bookmarked. 150 WebP images to AVIF in one pass, with a progress bar that actually tells you which file it is on. Most converters choke well before that.

    Yuki SatoPhotographer Sapporo, Japan · Aug 2026
  • ZIP in, ZIP out. That is the whole workflow for me. It even skips the non-image files in the archive without complaining, which I did not expect.

    Alex PetrovFull-stack developer Sofia, Bulgaria · Jul 2026
  • I keep this open in a pinned tab. It loads instantly and the conversion is done before I have finished switching windows.

    Laura BennettEditorial assistant Glasgow, United Kingdom · Jun 2026
  • Genuinely no ads, no watermark, no daily cap. I kept waiting for the catch and there isn't one. I have converted a few thousand WebP files at this point.

    Daniel OkaforProduct photographer London, United Kingdom · Apr 2026
  • Coming from WebP, the thing you notice immediately is the size difference. AVIF gives me the best compression available today and my page weight dropped noticeably after the swap.

    Sophie LambertPortfolio designer Paris, France · Apr 2026
  • The thing that sold me is that there is no upload. I opened devtools, converted twenty WebP files to AVIF, and watched the network panel stay empty. That is a real privacy claim, not marketing copy.

    Grace WhitmoreMarketing lead Toronto, Canada · Feb 2026
  • We had an Imagify plan on the team budget purely for image conversion. This replaced it for the WebP and AVIF work, which is most of what we were doing. Small win, but it adds up.

    Dmitri VolkovSystems administrator Moscow, Russia · Jan 2026
  • Set the target file size to what my CMS allows and it found the best quality that fits. That one feature has saved me more time than everything else combined. No more converting, checking, adjusting, converting again.

    Katarzyna LisFront-end developer Warsaw, Poland · Dec 2025
  • My team is split across Windows, Mac and a couple of Chromebooks. This is the only image tool all of them can actually use.

    Hassan MalikBackend developer Islamabad, Pakistan · Nov 2025
  • The batch renaming is a small thing that saves a lot of tedium. Prefix, separator, starting number, and the whole AVIF batch comes out named properly for the CMS instead of DSC_0481.

    Nathan BrooksAgency producer Chicago, United States · Oct 2025
  • Cut about 60% off our image payload converting WebP to AVIF. No visible difference to customers, measurably faster pages.

    Lukas BrandtPerformance engineer Berlin, Germany · Sep 2025
  • I had just over 300 WebP files from a product shoot that all needed to be AVIF. Dropped the lot in, walked away, came back to a finished batch. No queue, no "upgrade to convert more than 20 files" wall.

WebP to AVIF Conversion and Compression Explained

What changes when you convert WebP to AVIF, what it costs, and how to pick a quality setting you will not regret.

WebP is the right default for images served over the web, and the wrong one the moment a file has to leave the browser. Design tools, print shops, older content management systems and plenty of desktop software still refuse it. Converting to AVIF gives you a copy that behaves predictably outside the browser.

Both formats are lossy, so the conversion re-encodes rather than copies. Keep quality at 85 or above if the file is going to be edited again, and use the before and after slider to check the first image of a batch before you commit to the rest.

Set quality once and it applies to the whole batch, so a folder of two hundred files takes the same number of decisions as one. AVIF encoding is genuinely slower than the alternatives, so a large batch takes minutes rather than seconds. It runs on your own processor, which is why it is not instant, and also why nothing is queued behind other people's jobs. If you are working to a hard limit, such as a content management system that rejects anything over 200 KB, open Settings and set a maximum file size instead of a quality percentage. The encoder then searches for the best quality that fits your budget, file by file.

All Formats. One Tool.

WebP to AVIF is one of twenty-four conversion paths here, and each one has its own page with defaults already set for that pair. Whichever you land on, the tool behind it is the same: it accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, GIF and BMP, reads ZIP archives, and handles up to 500 images in a single batch.

Conversion runs in your browser using your own processor, so nothing is uploaded, nothing is queued behind other people, and there is no account, no watermark and no daily cap. Close the tab and the files are gone from memory; they were never anywhere else.

If you need a smaller file rather than a different format, the image compressor keeps your originals and works to a quality level or a size in kilobytes. To change dimensions, the image resizer handles fit, fill and crop, or stretch across a whole folder at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about converting WebP to AVIF.

Is it safe to convert WebP to AVIF on SmallerImages?
Yes. Everything runs inside your browser. No files are uploaded to any server at any point. Your images stay on your device from start to finish.
Does AVIF support transparency like WebP?
Yes. AVIF fully supports alpha transparency. Any transparent areas in your WebP images are preserved in the converted AVIF output. Unlike JPEG, which would require a white fill. If you need lossless transparency, consider our WebP to PNG converter instead.
How much smaller will AVIF files be compared to my WebP files?
Typically 20–30% smaller than WebP at equivalent visual quality. The exact saving depends on the image content. Photos with complex detail tend to see larger gains than flat graphics or illustrations.
What quality setting should I use for AVIF?
AVIF quality settings behave differently from JPEG. The codec retains quality much more efficiently at lower numbers. Quality 70–85 is the sweet spot for most web images. Use the before/after slider to compare visually before committing to a batch download.
Which browsers support AVIF?
Chrome (85+), Firefox (93+), Safari (16+), and Edge (121+) all support AVIF. As of 2024, AVIF is supported by over 90% of global web users. For the small percentage of users on older browsers, serve a JPEG fallback using the HTML picture element.
Why is AVIF encoding slower than WebP?
AVIF uses the AV1 codec, which employs more complex compression algorithms than WebP's VP8/VP9 base. The encoding is computationally heavier, but the output is significantly more efficient. For a web project, you encode once and users benefit from smaller downloads every time.
How many files can I convert at once?
No limit. You can convert 500+ files in a single batch. A progress bar tracks large jobs so you know where you stand. The bottleneck is your device's CPU. AVIF encoding is more intensive than other formats, so large batches take a bit longer.
Is SmallerImages completely free?
Yes. No premium plans, no watermarks, no file limits, no signup required, and no ads.
Can I upload a ZIP of WebP files?
Yes. Upload a.zip archive and the tool automatically extracts all WebP images inside. After conversion, download all your AVIF files as a new ZIP in one click.
What if I need to go back from AVIF to WebP?
Use our AVIF to WebP converter to go the other direction. We also have AVIF to JPEG and AVIF to PNG if you need maximum compatibility or lossless output.
