An AVIF file is a raster graphics royalty-free and open-source file format that uses the AV1 video codec. The lossless and lossy compression techniques apply the video codec encoding to create small, high-resolution, and high-quality images. The compressed AVIF images save bandwidth and increase website responsiveness or decrease webpage loading time while sharing qualities similar to the original image. The file format has inherent features that support transparency (alpha channel) and animation. AVIF images are visually impressive and comparatively smaller than traditional file formats such as WEBP, PNG, and PNG.
The Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file is a web-friendly vector format developed for designing 2D graphics. It has enhanced support for animation, interactivity, and transparency. Unlike bitmapped raster file formats like JPEGs, SVG files use commands or mathematical formulas to store images in gridlines and points. Its images are scalable without losing image quality, making them ideal for high-resolution displays and responsive web designs. The file format compresses images using XML code and the Gzip algorithm, resulting in smaller files. Besides, metadata stored as literal texts enables its contents to be easily indexed, searched, and retrieved.
To convert files from AVIF to SVG use an online tool that supports mass conversion, like Convertjack. Such a tool transforms single or bulk images at once to save time.
Go to Choose File, and select any AVIF photos you want to convert. If you want to do a bulk conversion, click Choose File and select all the AVIF pics you want to convert.
After uploading the AVIF image, click the “Select Format” button at the center. A drop-down menu will pop up; select SVG.
On the bottom right corner of the display, click the “Convert” button. Your converted SVG file will be ready for download.
Click the “Download” button on the right side of the SVG file, and the converted image will be downloaded. If you convert multiple files, each file will have a “Download all” button in front of it, and you can click each button to download all the converted files.
To save a AVIF file as a SVG file, you first convert it to SVG and then download it.
Instead of converting a file manually from AVIF to SVG, use an online tool like Convertjack to convert the file without losing any details.
After converting the AVIF file, Download the SVG file and save it in the default folder for all your downloads on the desktop or mobile.
One of the advantages of SVG is its wider compatibility with web browsers and various software applications, which is crucial for ensuring that vector graphics, such as logos and icons, are viewable by a broad audience. The main disadvantage of AVIF is its limited compatibility with some web browsers and software applications compared to more established formats. Therefore, if broad compatibility for vector graphics is a priority, using SVG is beneficial. Check this AVIF vs. SVG comparison to determine which image format best suits your intended use.
