WebP to AVIF: The Final Compression Step

WebP was a leap over JPG. AVIF is a leap over WebP. If your site already serves WebP, converting to AVIF squeezes another 20–40% from every image.

A 200 KB WebP product image becomes a 130 KB AVIF. Across a product catalog of 5,000 images, that is 350 MB of saved storage and bandwidth. Per month, with moderate traffic, the CDN transfer savings alone can justify the conversion.

Serving AVIF with WebP Fallback

The optimal strategy: serve AVIF to browsers that support it (93% of traffic) and fall back to WebP for the rest (covers another 4%). Only 3% of visitors receive neither — serve JPG to them.

Implement this with the HTML <picture> element, CDN content negotiation (Cloudflare, CloudFront, Imgix all support this), or server-side Accept header detection. Picture Optimizer generates the AVIF file. Your delivery infrastructure handles format selection.
