• Transparency Support: Alpha channels are perfectly preserved during conversion

File Size Expectations

When converting AVIF to WebP, expect file size changes:

• Moderate Increase: WebP files will be 1.5-2.5x larger than equivalent AVIF files
• Still Efficient: WebP files remain much smaller than JPEG or PNG equivalents
• Compatibility Benefit: The slight size increase provides significant compatibility improvements

Before Converting:

• Assess Compatibility Needs: Determine if you need broader browser support than AVIF provides
• Check File Size Impact: WebP files will be larger than AVIF but still efficient
• Consider Use Case: WebP is excellent for web applications needing good compatibility
• Backup Originals: Keep your original AVIF files for future use

After Converting:

• Quality Verification: Confirm that visual quality meets your standards
• Compatibility Testing: Test WebP files in your target browsers and applications
• Performance Monitoring: Check that WebP files provide the expected performance benefits
• Fallback Strategy: Consider implementing fallbacks for older browsers if needed
• Update Documentation: Note any format changes in your asset management system

Will I lose image quality when converting from AVIF to WebP?

WebP is a high-quality format, and our tool uses a 90% quality setting to maintain excellent visual quality. While there may be minimal quality differences, WebP provides excellent results for most applications.
