Frequently Asked Questions
Is AVIF overkill for tiny icons?
The compression benefit is minimal for very small images. AVIF makes more sense for larger graphics. For icons, PNG is often sufficient.
Does AVIF support transparency?
Yes, AVIF fully supports alpha transparency.
Should I use AVIF or SVG for web icons?
SVG is better for vector icons that scale. AVIF is better for raster icons (photos, complex graphics) that don't scale.
