Why Convert JPG to AVIF?
AVIF is the most advanced image format available today. It delivers dramatically smaller file sizes than JPG — often 50% smaller — while maintaining the same perceived visual quality. For performance-focused websites, AVIF is a game-changer.

AVIF vs WebP
Both formats are smaller than JPG, but AVIF typically achieves 10-20% better compression than WebP. The tradeoff is that AVIF encoding is slower. If encoding speed matters or you need broader compatibility, JPG to WebP is an excellent alternative.
