AV1 Image File Format (AVIF) is an open, royalty-free image file format specification for storing images or image sequences compressed with AV1 in the HEIF container format. It competes with HEIC, which uses the same container format built upon ISOBMFF, but HEVC for compression. Version 1.0.0 of the AVIF specification was finalized in February 2019.

In a number of tests by Netflix in 2020, AVIF showed better compression efficiency than JPEG as well as better detail preservation, fewer blocking artifacts and less color bleeding around hard edges in composites of natural images, text, and graphics.

Features

The AV1 Image File Format supports:

• Multiple color spaces, including:
  • HDR (with PQ or HLG transfer functions and BT.2020 color primaries, as part of BT.2100)
  • SDR (with sRGB / BT.709 / BT.601 or with wide color gamut)
  • Color space signaling via CICP (ITU-T H.273 and ISO/IEC 23091-2) or ICC profiles
• Lossless compression and lossy compression
• 8-, 10-, and 12-bit color depths
• Monochrome (alpha/depth) or multi-components
• 4:2:0, 4:2:2, 4:4:4 chroma subsampling and RGB
• Film grain synthesis
• Image sequences/animation

Profiles

AVIF specification defines two image profiles:

• AVIF Baseline Profile
  • Uses AV1 Main Profile
  • AV1 level is 5.1 or lower
    • Level 5.1 is chosen for the Baseline profile to ensure that no single coded image exceeds 8K resolution, as some decoders may not be able to handle larger images. More precisely, coded image items compliant to the AVIF Baseline profile may not have a total number of pixels greater than 8,912,896, a width greater than 8,192, or a height greater than 4,352. It is still possible to use the Baseline profile to create larger images using grid derivation.
• AVIF Advanced Profile
  • Uses AV1 High Profile
  • AV1 level is 6.0 or lower
    • Coded image items compliant to the AVIF Advanced profile may not have a total number of pixels greater than 35,651,584, a width greater than 16,384, or a height greater than 8,704. It is still possible to use the Advanced profile to create larger images using grid derivation.

Support

On December 14, 2018, Netflix published the first .avif sample images. In November 2020, HDR sample images with PQ transfer function and BT.2020 color primaries were published.

Web browsers

• In August 2020, Google Chrome version 85 was released with full AVIF support. Google Chrome 89 for Android adds AVIF support.
• In October 2021, Mozilla Firefox 93 was released with default AVIF support.
• WebKit added AVIF support on March 5, 2021. Safari for iOS 16 and macOS Ventura added support for AVIF; iOS 16 was released on September 12, 2022 and macOS Ventura on October 24, 2022. Safari 16.4 retroactively added AVIF support for macOS Monterey and macOS Big Sur.
• Microsoft Edge introduced it in version 114, initially requiring a flag for activation. It was then made readily available in version 121 Beta in December 2023.

Image viewers

• XnView
• gThumb
• Eye of GNOME
• GNOME's Loupe
• ImageMagick
• IrfanView (read only)
• Gwenview

• Apple Photos app on iOS 16, iPadOS 16 and macOS 13.

Media players

• VLC will read AVIF files starting with version 4, which is still in development.

Image editors

• Paint.net added support for opening AVIF files in September 2019, and the ability to save AVIF format images in an August 2020 update.
• The Colorist format conversion and Darktable RAW image data have each released support for and provide reference implementations of libavif.
• Native AVIF import and export was added to GIMP in October 2020.
• IrfanView 4.57, released on January 13, 2021, added read-only AVIF support via its plugins.
• Krita 5.0, released on December 23, 2021, added AVIF support. The support also includes Rec.2100 HDR AVIF images.
• Adobe Illustrator (May 2022 release) added AVIF support.
• Pixelmator Pro 3.1, released on November 2, 2022, added initial AVIF support.
• Adobe Lightroom 7.0 (October 2023 release) and Lightroom Classic 13 (October 2023 release) added HDR capabilities, including opening and saving photos in AVIF format.

Image libraries

• libavif – portable library for encoding and decoding AVIF files.
• libheif – ISO/IEC 23008-12:2017 HEIF and AVIF decoder and encoder.
• SAIL – format-agnostic library with support of AVIF implemented on top of libavif.
• FFmpeg

Operating systems

• Windows – Microsoft announced support with the Windows 10, version 1903 preview release, including support in File Explorer, Paint and multiple APIs, together with sample images.
• Android – Android 12, released on October 4, 2021, added native support for AVIF.
• Linux – AVIF is widely supported in Linux distributions. With the release of libavif 0.8.0 in July 2020, which added a GdkPixbuf plugin, AVIF support is present in most GNOME/GTK applications. The KDE Frameworks added support for AVIF to the "KImageFormats" library in January 2021, enabling most KDE/Qt applications to support viewing and saving AVIF images. Nomacs 3.16 adds support for AVIF viewing and conversion. Nomacs appimage is also for older Linux.
• Apple platforms – iOS 16, iPadOS 16 and macOS Ventura natively support AVIF. You can directly view AVIF images in the Finder, with QuickLook, in the iOS Files app, etc.
