AV1 AVIF
AV1 Image File Format Specification - ISO-BMFF/HEIF derivative
AV1 AVIF is the official specification and reference design for the AV1 Image File Format (AVIF), defining how AV1-encoded bitstreams are packaged into the HEIF container format (based on ISOBMFF) to produce AVIF files. The project outlines the syntax and semantics required for AVIF compliance, including support for multiple image profiles, color depths, chroma subsampling modes, HDR/WCG, alpha channels, animation/image sequences, and various color-space/bit-depth combinations — making AVIF a versatile, modern image format suitable for both simple photos and advanced imagery needing high fidelity. The specification ensures interoperability across encoders and decoders, providing guidelines so that images created by any compliant AVIF encoder can be reliably decoded by compliant decoders. As adoption grows, AV1 AVIF plays a crucial role in promoting a royalty-free, open, high-efficiency image standard that competes with older formats such as JPEG and newer proprietary ones. -
