This format is the result of the development of the AV1 codec, which allows for high quality images with smaller file sizes. Compared to traditional formats like JPEG and PNG, AVIF offers better compression ratios, making it more efficient at preserving image quality while reducing file size. Archibald emphasizes the importance of browser support for AVIF, which will facilitate wider adoption. With the advantages of AVIF, designers and developers can create more responsive and efficient websites, benefiting both users and creators alike. Overall, AVIF represents a revolution in how we store and present images on the internet.
