About AV1 Image File
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern image file format based on the AV1 video codec. AVIF is developed by the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia), which is a consortium of companies and organizations aiming to develop open, royalty-free technologies for multimedia delivery over the internet. The AV1 codec itself is designed to offer significant improvements in compression efficiency over existing standards while maintaining good visual quality. AVIF leverages the capabilities of the AV1 video codec to compress high-quality images efficiently. It supports various advanced features such as: High Efficiency: AVIF typically offers better compression efficiency compared to other image formats like JPEG, PNG, and WebP, especially for high-resolution images. Wide Color Gamut: AVIF supports a wide range of color spaces, including high dynamic range (HDR) and wide color gamuts, allowing for more vibrant and accurate colors in images. Alpha Transparency: AVIF supports alpha channel transparency, allowing for high-quality transparent images with smooth edges and soft shadows. Animation: Similar to the animated WebP format, AVIF can also support animation by encoding a sequence of images into a single AVIF file. Lossless Compression: AVIF supports both lossy and lossless compression modes, providing flexibility depending on the specific requirements of the image.
About Joint Photographic Experts Group
JPG or JPEG is a lossy image file compression extension, which stands for Joint Photographic Eperts Group. The JPG extension is a lossy file extension that has now been accepted by many manufacturers and is seen as one of the most ideal extensions, especially for photos. JPG is capable of reducing the total file size of files up to 5% of the size. After this compression process, some tiny details of the image disappear.
