How to Convert Images to AVIF for Faster Web Pages
AVIF delivers smaller files than JPG or WebP at similar quality—ideal for Shopify themes and DTC storefronts when browsers support it. FreeMake converts PNG/JPG to AVIF locally with JPG fallback when AVIF is unavailable.
Upload PNG or JPG web assets
Hero banners, collection tiles, and blog images—not Amazon main uploads, which still require JPG. Start from high-quality masters before lossy AVIF export.
Convert to AVIF in browser
Processing uses local codecs when supported. Preview file size savings versus original—often 30–50% smaller for photo content.
Verify visual quality
Check gradients and fine text on promotional graphics. AVIF is lossy—keep PNG masters archived for future re-export.
Deploy on your storefront CDN
Pair with responsive `<picture>` tags serving AVIF to modern browsers and JPG fallback elsewhere. Compress JPG fallbacks separately if needed.
Why AVIF for Your Store, Not Marketplaces
Marketplaces standardize on JPG heroes; your own site benefits from next-gen formats. Local conversion lets you experiment without uploading assets to Squoosh or CloudConvert.
Improve Shopify theme LCP
Smaller collection images load faster on mobile shopping—directly supporting Core Web Vitals and organic rankings.
Reduce CDN bandwidth bills
AVIF cuts egress when you serve thousands of product gallery views on independent storefronts.
Private conversion experiments
Test AVIF quality settings on unreleased campaign art locally before pushing to production buckets.

AVIF vs Other Formats
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) compresses ~50% better than JPG with better quality. Some older devices and browsers don't support AVIF — convert to JPG/PNG for universal compatibility.
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) targets modern Chromium, Firefox, and Safari versions. Amazon, eBay, and most marketplaces do not accept AVIF for product hero uploads—use JPG there.
Convert PNG UI graphics only when photo complexity justifies it—flat icons may be smaller as optimized PNG. Chain back to JPG via the format converter when partners require legacy formats.
- AVIF — DTC site galleries and banners
- JPG — marketplace heroes and email
- WebP — alternative modern format if AVIF unsupported
- Local encode — no upload to Google or CloudConvert
| Format | File size | Quality | Browser support |
|---|---|---|---|
| AVIF | Smallest | Best | Chrome, Firefox, Safari (newer) |
| WebP | Small | Very good | Wide support |
| JPG | Medium | Good | Universal |
| PNG | Large | Lossless | Universal |
