AVIF vs WebP
AVIF often wins on compression. WebP wins on encode availability in the browser. ConvertPass exposes AVIF encode only after a capability check.
If both encode and decode work in your audience’s browsers, test AVIF for photo-heavy pages. Keep WebP as the wider fallback. Do not assume canvas encode exists.
| Topic | AVIF | WebP |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Usually the smaller photo at a given quality. | Still excellent, and faster to encode in many tools. |
| Browser encode via canvas | Inconsistent. Detect it. | Common in Chromium; verify elsewhere. |
| Decode | Current major browsers, with older exceptions. | Very broad among current browsers. |
| CMS and email | More likely to be rejected. | More likely to be accepted. |
