AVIF Image Converter for Magento 2

AVIF Image Converter for Magento 2

AVIF Image Converter for Magento 2 automatically converts your store images from JPG, PNG, and GIF formats into modern AVIF images. AVIF provides smaller file sizes while maintaining excellent image quality, helping your store load faster, save bandwidth, and improve Core Web Vitals.

The extension works with your existing images and automatically serves AVIF images to supported browsers. Browsers that do not support AVIF will continue to receive the original image format, ensuring full compatibility.
