Bitmap Image File
The classic uncompressed Windows image format.
BMP (Bitmap) is a raster graphics image file format used to store bitmap digital images, independently of the display device. It is one of the oldest image formats still in use, historically associated with the Microsoft Windows operating system.
BMP files typically store color data for each pixel in the image without any compression. This results in very large file sizes but perfect quality and extremely fast decoding. While it supports RLE compression, it is rarely used.
Introduced with Windows 3.0 in 1990. It was the standard format for Windows wallpapers and system graphics for decades.
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.
