To convert AVIF to WebP, upload the AVIF file, start the conversion and download the result: Converter.now writes a WebP at quality 90. Both formats are lossy, so this adds a second round of compression; convert from the best original you have rather than an earlier export.
A high-efficiency av1-derived still image with hdr and alpha capabilities is decoded into a working pixel canvas first, then written back out under WebP's own color and compression model. Dimensions can stay exactly the same even as encoding, metadata, and fine detail change underneath. AVIF reading selects the primary AV1 image item and follows its color, alpha, depth, gain-map, transform, and sequence relationships inside the container. Because WebP can be lossy, lossless, transparent, or animated, confirm explicitly which mode was actually chosen, along with the oldest supported browser, edge quality, frames, color, and metadata.
Decoded canvas - A high-efficiency AV1-derived still image with HDR and alpha capabilities. Written image - A modern web image format capable of lossy or lossless pixels, alpha, and animation.

Before converting a whole batch, read choosing between JPG, PNG, WebP and AVIF; it explains how transparency, detail and browser support decide the format.
Used for high-efficiency modern images.
Designed for efficient modern web graphics.
WebP wins this route whenever its specific mix of compatibility, alpha, animation, and file size fits the destination better than AVIF does.
Older apps may not decode AVIF, and aggressive encoding can smear fine texture despite a small file.
Older software may reject WebP outright, and a lossy encode can soften texture or edges around transparency.
a modern web image format capable of lossy or lossless pixels, alpha, and animation is what gets written, labeled as image/webp. Whether that actually opens depends on the receiving application, not on the file extension.
Inspect gradients and texture at 100% and open the file on the oldest required device.
Confirm the encoding mode used, check animation frames and transparency, and test the oldest browser this needs to support.
