Should you convert SVG to AVIF?

A safe conversion when AVIF is what you need: both SVG and AVIF keep every pixel, so the picture itself doesn’t change.

Bear in mind AVIF is opens in current browsers and apps: it works in current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, but few editors, chat apps or upload forms.

SVG is a vector format made of shapes instead of pixels; AVIF is a modern image format that squeezes photos smaller than WebP. Use AVIF for photos on a website when you want the smallest files and can serve a fallback to older browsers.

How to convert SVG to AVIF

  1. 01

    Add your SVG

    Drop your SVG image onto the box, or click to choose it. It is read from your disk and stays there.

  2. 02

    Check the settings

    The output is already set to AVIF. Change the quality if you want to; the defaults suit most files.

  3. 03

    Save the AVIF

    Press convert and save the AVIF. Several files come back together as a ZIP.

What changes when SVG becomes AVIF

Transparency is kept

SVG and AVIF both support transparency, so transparent backgrounds and soft edges come through unchanged.

Animated files keep their first frame

AVIF can animate, but this converter writes animated AVIF only for GIF and APNG targets. An animated SVG is saved as a still of its first frame.

Pick the size you need

An SVG has no fixed pixel size, so it is drawn at the size you choose, 1024 pixels on the long side by default. For sharp results on high-resolution screens, use twice the size it will be shown at.

Expect a larger file

AVIF generally takes more room than SVG. If the file has to fit an upload limit, check the size once it’s converted. SVG: A simple logo is often only a few KB. AVIF: Often around half the size of the equivalent JPG.

This page is put together from our notes on each format, choosing only what is true of SVG and AVIF, so every pairing states the same facts the same way. How these pages are made.

Why it doesn’t upload

Changing a picture’s format is work your browser already knows how to do. Sending your photos to a server first only adds waiting and risk, so nothing is sent.

How to check for yourself

Worth knowing

  • About the SVG. Converting a photograph to SVG does not turn it into vectors. Either the pixels get wrapped inside an SVG, which is bigger and no sharper, or a tracer turns it into flat blobs of color.
  • About the AVIF. AVIF’s savings are real, but encoding is slow, so a batch that takes seconds as JPG can take minutes as AVIF.
  • DDS, PSD, EXR, XWD and JPEG 2000 are read by the FFmpeg engine, a one-time 31 MB download.

Questions

Will converting SVG to AVIF lose quality?

AVIF is lossy, so some detail is discarded. The quality slider decides how much; the default of 90 is chosen so the difference is invisible in almost every photo.

Will the AVIF be smaller than the SVG?

Expect a larger file. AVIF generally takes more room than SVG. If the file has to fit an upload limit, check the size once it’s converted. SVG: A simple logo is often only a few KB. AVIF: Often around half the size of the equivalent JPG.
