How to convert SVG to AVIF

  1. Add your SVG graphics

    Drop SVG files onto the box above, or click it to choose them. ToAny reads the file's contents to detect the type, so a wrong extension does not matter.

  2. AVIF is already chosen

    Press Convert. Open Options first if you want to change the defaults. The work happens in this tab.

  3. Download

    Save the AVIF, or download everything as one ZIP if you converted several files.

Why ToAny

  • Private by construction

    The SVG to AVIF converter is part of this page and runs inside your browser. Your graphics are never sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

  • No upload, no queue

    Nothing has to travel to a server and back, so the conversion starts the moment you press Convert, even on a slow connection.

  • Free, without an account

    No sign-up, no email address and no watermark. Add several files and download them together as a ZIP.

SVG to AVIF: what to expect

SVG is refused by most social networks, marketplaces and document editors. AVIF gives the smallest files of any widely supported image format. SVG is at home in logos, icons and illustrations that must scale; AVIF is the usual choice for the smallest images for websites.

The defaults suit most files. Under Options you can set the quality, aim for a target file size, resize the result and set the scale the vector is rendered at.

The SVG is drawn at its own width and height (taken from its viewBox if it has no size) times the scale set under Options, scaled down if that would pass 16,384 pixels a side or 64 megapixels. Scripts inside the SVG never run and files it links to are not fetched, so text in a font the SVG does not embed is drawn in a fallback font. The AVIF encoder is a WebAssembly module that downloads the first time you convert to AVIF and is cached afterwards.

SVG vs AVIF

SVG

SVG vector

SVG describes an image as shapes and text rather than pixels, so it stays sharp at any size. It is ideal for logos and icons. Social networks, marketplaces and most office software will not accept it, which is when a PNG or JPG copy is needed.

AVIF

AVIF image

AVIF stores a still image using the AV1 video codec. It usually beats both JPG and WebP on file size and supports transparency, HDR and wide colour. Current browsers display it, but many image editors, viewers and upload forms still do not.

Questions

Are my graphics uploaded anywhere?

No. The SVG to AVIF conversion runs inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. The file is not sent to ToAny or to anyone else.

Does converting SVG to AVIF reduce quality?

A little: ToAny writes AVIF in its lossy mode, so a small amount of detail is traded for a much smaller file. At the default setting the difference is hard to notice. You can raise the quality under Options; there is no lossless setting. The SVG itself is drawn as pixels first, so the result no longer scales without blur; set the scale under Options if you need it larger.

Can I convert several SVG files at once?

Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together and download each result or all of them as one ZIP.

How do I convert SVG to AVIF on Windows, Mac, iPhone or Android?

The steps are the same everywhere because ToAny runs in the web browser: open this page in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, add the SVG file, press Convert and save the AVIF. There is nothing to install.

Is there a file size limit?

An SVG is a small text file, so its size is not the limit: it is drawn at its own dimensions times the scale you set, and scaled down to stay within 16,384 pixels a side and 64 megapixels. Beyond that the limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded; a computer copes with large files better than a phone.
