AVIF (AV1 Image File Format)
The royalty-free successor to WebP, offering the world's best compression for the web.
AVIF is the cutting-edge image format derived from the AV1 video codec. Developed by the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia)—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Amazon, and Microsoft—it was designed to be the ultimate royalty-free format for the web. AVIF offers significantly better compression than WebP, which was already better than JPEG. It supports features that WebP lacks, such as 10-bit and 12-bit color depth for HDR (High Dynamic Range) images, and it produces fewer compression artifacts at low bitrates. While encoding AVIF files takes longer than other formats, the bandwidth savings are substantial, often reducing file sizes by 50% compared to JPEG.
AVIF uses the HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format) container structure but encodes the image data using the AV1 video codec. This allows it to use advanced video compression techniques like intra-frame prediction to squeeze image data down to incredibly small sizes. Unlike WebP, which is limited to 8-bit color, AVIF supports 10-bit and 12-bit color depths, making it the first viable web format for HDR photography. It also supports 4:2:0, 4:2:2, and 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, allowing for sharp text and graphics even with lossy compression.
The AV1 video codec was released in 2018 as a royalty-free alternative to HEVC (H.265). The AVIF image format specification followed in 2019. Adoption was rapid compared to previous formats. Chrome added support in 2020, followed by Firefox in 2021. Apple added support in iOS 16 and macOS Ventura (2022), completing the 'universal support' puzzle much faster than WebP did.
PNG-24 (24-bit RGB)
The standard for opaque, true-color lossless images on the web.
PNG-24 is the standard version of the PNG format for opaque, full-color images. It supports 24-bit color depth, which allows for over 16 million distinct colors (True Color)—the same color range as a standard JPEG. Unlike JPEG, however, PNG-24 uses lossless compression. This means it preserves every single pixel exactly as it was created, with absolutely no blurring or artifacts. This makes PNG-24 the ideal choice for complex graphics, screenshots, and detailed diagrams where quality is paramount and transparency is not needed. Note that while 'PNG-24' is often used to refer to any true-color PNG, strictly speaking, it refers to the RGB variant without an alpha channel. If you need transparency, you are technically using PNG-32 (RGB + Alpha).
A PNG-24 image consists of three color channels: Red, Green, and Blue. Each channel uses 8 bits of data per pixel, resulting in 24 bits total (8+8+8). This allows for 256 levels of intensity for each primary color, combining to produce 16,777,216 possible colors. Because it lacks an alpha channel, every pixel in a PNG-24 file is fully opaque. While the PNG specification allows for a 'tRNS' chunk to define a single specific color as transparent (similar to GIF), this is rarely used in modern web design in favor of the full alpha transparency found in PNG-32.
PNG-24 was part of the original PNG 1.0 specification released in 1996. It was designed as a direct, patent-free competitor to JPEG for lossless image storage. While JPEG won the war for photographs due to its superior compression ratios, PNG-24 became the standard for screenshots, diagrams, and digital art where preserving exact pixel values was more important than file size.
