Quick fact about AVIF
Email attachments should be under 200 KB for fast sending. Our tool compresses AVIF to email-friendly sizes — typically 100-200 KB — with no visible quality loss.
Why compress AVIF?
Email services and corporate mail servers often impose strict size limits (100 KB - 10 MB per message). Large AVIF attachments slow sending and may be rejected. Compressing to 100-200 KB makes images email-friendly while keeping them sharp enough for on-screen viewing.
