AVIF vs WebP Compatibility: Which Format Reaches More Users

AVIF is technically the superior format — it compresses images 20–30% better than WebP at equal quality, and it's the newest next-generation image codec. But technical superiority doesn't always mean maximum reach. AVIF requires Safari 16+ (iOS 16+), meaning any iPhone or iPad running iOS 14 or 15 simply cannot display AVIF images.

WebP, by contrast, works on Chrome 32+, Firefox 65+, Edge 18+, and Safari 14+ — capturing iOS 14 and 15 users that AVIF misses entirely. Platforms like Shopify and Cloudinary have built their CDN pipelines around WebP because it's the widest-supported modern format. WordPress added native WebP support in version 5.8, meaning no plugin is needed for WebP in the media library — while AVIF still requires one.

  • 📱 iOS 14+ support — WebP works on iOS 14 and 15, AVIF requires iOS 16+
  • 🛒 Shopify & Cloudinary ready — both CDNs accept and serve WebP natively
  • 📉 25–34% smaller than JPEG — WebP still delivers major file size savings over JPG
  • 🌐 Widest modern browser support — Chrome 32+, Firefox 65+, Edge 18+, Safari 14+
  • 🔵 WordPress 5.8+ native support — upload WebP to media library, no plugin needed
  • 🔒 100% private — conversion runs in your browser, files never leave your device

When WebP Compatibility Matters More Than AVIF

🍎

iOS 14–15 Users

AVIF is invisible on iPhone and iPad running iOS 14 or 15. WebP loads perfectly on both versions.

🛒

Shopify Stores

Shopify's CDN pipeline is built around WebP. Product images and theme assets work better as WebP today.

🔵

WordPress Sites

WordPress supports WebP natively since 5.8. AVIF still requires a plugin. WebP just works in the media library.

☁️

CDN Compatibility

Most legacy CDN configurations accept WebP. AVIF support varies — WebP is the safe universal choice.

📧

Email & Sharing

WebP displays in more email clients and messaging apps than AVIF, which has minimal support there.

Frequently Asked Questions

AVIF achieves 20–30% better compression than WebP at equivalent visual quality — meaning smaller files for the same image. However, WebP has broader support: Safari 14+ and iOS 14+ support WebP, while AVIF requires Safari 16+ and iOS 16+. If maximum reach across devices is your priority, WebP wins. If you need the smallest possible files for modern browsers only, AVIF wins.
Shopify's CDN automatically converts product images to WebP for broader device compatibility, particularly for users on older iOS devices (14 and 15). While AVIF support is gradually rolling out across CDNs, WebP is the safer universal choice for e-commerce images right now — it hits a much wider range of devices without requiring compatibility fallbacks.
Yes, WordPress has natively supported WebP uploads since version 5.8 (July 2021). You can upload WebP images directly to the media library, use them as featured images, and insert them in content without any plugin. AVIF support in WordPress still requires a third-party plugin.
Yes — both AVIF and WebP are lossy formats, so converting between them introduces some generation loss. The quality drop is minimal at high quality settings (90+), but it is still a second-generation encode. If you have the original JPEG, PNG, or RAW source, converting from that directly to WebP will produce a better result than converting AVIF to WebP.
Yes. WebP supports animated images (like animated GIF but far more efficient). Animated WebP is supported in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari 14+. This makes animated WebP a solid choice for lightweight looping graphics where you need broad browser support.
Yes — WebP has full alpha channel support, just like AVIF and PNG. Transparent AVIF images converted to WebP will retain their transparency. WebP's transparency is lossless, while the color channels can be either lossy or lossless depending on encoder settings.
Yes — 100% free, no signup required, no file size limits for typical images. Conversion runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your files never leave your device.
