Sample AVIF File Download

AVIF is built on the AV1 video codec's intra-frame compression, and it typically beats WebP by another 15-25% at the same visual quality — often the smallest file size available for a given image without visible quality loss. Like WebP, it supports transparency, animation, and both lossy and lossless modes.

Browser support has caught up fast: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari 16+ all decode AVIF natively, and both Windows and macOS open it without a plugin. It's increasingly the default output for image CDNs and `<picture>` sources targeting the smallest possible payload for modern browsers.

Use the sample below to test AVIF decoding support in your image pipeline, or confirm an upload validator correctly recognizes the format ahead of a WebP fallback.
