Both AVIF and WebP are modern, efficient web formats, but WebP enjoys slightly wider support across browsers and editing apps. Converting AVIF to WebP keeps files small and transparency intact while broadening where they will work.
These are the two modern web formats, closer cousins than rivals: both compress far better than JPG or PNG, and both handle transparency. AVIF (Safari 16+, 2022 onward) usually edges out WebP on pure size, but WebP has a two-year head start in browsers and much better coverage in editors and CMS pipelines — so this conversion trades a few percent of size for noticeably fewer compatibility surprises. The full comparison is in our AVIF vs WebP guide.

How AVIF and WebP compare
AVIF is best for cutting-edge web delivery where the smallest possible file matters and you can fall back for old browsers. WebP is best for web images and page-speed optimisation — the best default for most websites today.
Here's how AVIF and WebP line up on the things that matter:
| Property | AVIF | WebP |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Both (lossy & lossless) | Both (lossy & lossless) |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
| Animation | Yes | Yes |
| Typical file size | The smallest of the common web formats — often ~50% smaller than JPG | Typically 25–35% smaller than JPG/PNG at equivalent quality |
| Support | Chrome, Firefox, and Safari 16+ (2022 onward) | All modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) since ~2020 |

Things to keep in mind when converting AVIF to WebP
- For typical images, going from AVIF to WebP is straightforward — there are no meaningful downsides to watch for.
AVIF to WebP: quality, file size and privacy
The quality slider controls how hard the WebP encoder compresses. Around 80 is the sweet spot for most AVIF images — visually identical to the source, at a fraction of the size.
Your AVIF files stay on your machine from start to finish. The page brings the tool to your browser rather than sending your images to a server — which is also why there's no queue, no daily cap, no watermark and no sign-up.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded when I convert AVIF to WebP?
Never. There is no server-side processing: the AVIF-to-WebP conversion happens locally on your machine, and no copy of your file exists anywhere else.
Is the AVIF to WebP converter free?
Yes — every converter on ImgWand is free, AVIF to WebP included. No sign-up, no watermark, no daily quota.
Can I convert many AVIF files at once?
Yes, batches work. Each AVIF converts independently, and a zip download collects all the results in one click.
Is WebP supported by all browsers?
Yes — every modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari 14+) and platforms like WordPress and Shopify display WebP. Only very old browsers need a AVIF fallback.
Does converting to WebP work in every browser?
On Chrome, Edge, Firefox and other modern browsers, yes. Safari is the exception: it reads WebP but can't write it, so there the AVIF converter falls back to PNG or JPG output and tells you it has done so.
Why won't my AVIF file open?
AVIF is a newer format that many apps, older browsers and desktop editors can't read yet. Converting to WebP gives you a file that opens anywhere — and it happens instantly in your browser, without uploading the image.
Will the WebP file be smaller than my AVIF?
Usually yes. WebP is typically 25–35% smaller than AVIF at the same visual quality, and often more for graphics.
Do I need to install software to convert AVIF to WebP?
No — the converter is the web page itself. If your browser can open this page, it can convert AVIF to WebP.
Will converting AVIF to WebP reduce quality?
WebP is a lossy format, so the AVIF is re-encoded — but at the default quality the difference is invisible for typical images. Lower the slider only when file size matters more than fine detail.
