SVG vs AVIF: Format Comparison
Key differences between the two formats
| Feature | SVG | AVIF |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Vector (XML paths) | Raster (AV1 compressed) |
| Scalability | Infinite (no quality loss) | Fixed resolution |
| Transparency | Full alpha channel | Full alpha channel |
| File size | Small for simple shapes | Very small raster files |
| Color depth | Unlimited | Up to 12-bit per channel, HDR |
| Animation | CSS/SMIL/JS animation | AVIF sequences |
| Browser support | Universal | Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, Safari 16.4+ |
| Editability | Code-editable (XML) | Not directly editable |
When to Convert
Common scenarios where this conversion is useful
Creating raster fallbacks for SVG icons
Some platforms and email clients don't support SVG. Generate AVIF raster versions of your SVG icons for the smallest possible fallback images.
Social media graphics from vector designs
Social platforms don't accept SVG uploads. Convert your vector designs to AVIF for the highest quality at the smallest file size when sharing online.
Web performance optimization
For complex SVGs that are slow to render in browsers, a pre-rendered AVIF raster can load faster while maintaining excellent visual quality.
Generating thumbnails from vector art
Create compact AVIF thumbnails from SVG artwork for galleries, search results, or preview grids where vector rendering isn't needed.
How to Convert SVG to AVIF
-
1
Drop your SVG file
Drag and drop your SVG file into the converter area, or click browse to select it from your device.
-
2
Instant conversion
Your browser renders the SVG on a canvas and encodes the result as AVIF. The AV1 codec produces an exceptionally compact raster file.

Download your AVIF
Save the converted AVIF file. The output is a high-quality raster image at the smallest possible file size.
Frequently Asked Questions
SVG is ideal when you need scalability and editability. Convert to AVIF when the target platform doesn't support SVG, when you need faster rendering of complex graphics, or when sharing on social media.
For file size, yes. AVIF produces files 50-80% smaller than PNG. However, PNG is lossless while AVIF is typically lossy. For web delivery, AVIF is the better choice; for archival quality, PNG may be preferred.
The output uses the SVG's specified width and height attributes. If your SVG has no explicit dimensions, it renders at browser defaults. Set desired dimensions in your SVG before converting.
Yes. AVIF supports full alpha channel transparency, so transparent areas in your SVG will be preserved in the AVIF output with smooth semi-transparency.
No. Rasterization permanently converts vector paths to pixels. The mathematical path data in SVG cannot be reconstructed from a raster image. Always keep your original SVG files.
Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, Edge 121+, Safari 16.4+, and Opera 71+. This covers over 93% of global browser usage. Provide PNG or WebP fallbacks for older browsers.
Yes. All rendering and encoding happens in your browser. Your SVG files are never uploaded to any server, keeping your designs and intellectual property private.
The browser canvas renders most SVG features including filters, gradients, masks, and clipping paths. Very complex SVG features may render differently across browsers.
