Quick fact about AVIF
200 KB is generous for AVIF — high-quality web images and retina displays both fit well. AVIF's efficiency means a 200 KB AVIF looks like a 300-400 KB JPG — stunning quality with excellent file size.
Why compress AVIF?
200 KB is the sweet spot for high-quality web images with AVIF. Because AVIF is 50% smaller than JPG at the same quality, a 200 KB AVIF looks like a 300-400 KB JPG — sharp on retina displays with excellent compression. This is useful for hero banners, portfolio pieces, and high-quality web delivery.

How the conversion works
The compressor decodes the AVIF image and re-encodes it using libavif at a lower quality setting. If the output exceeds 200 KB, it reduces quality (and if necessary, dimensions) until the target is met. At 200 KB, an AVIF is typically 1600-2200px wide with quality 80-88%.
