Upload AVIF Images and Get a Direct URL
AVIF beats WebP by another 20-30% at the same quality. If your pipeline produces it, your host should serve it properly.
Upload AVIF nowAVIF is where image compression has landed: AV1-based, ~50% smaller than JPEG at equivalent quality, HDR and wide-gamut capable, supported in every current browser. Design pipelines and image CDNs increasingly emit it. What trips people up is hosting — older services serve .avif with a generic MIME type, and embeds break. Foldr serves image/avif correctly, so hotlinks and embeds render as images should.
How to upload a AVIF file
- 1
Upload the .avif at foldr.space
Files are typically tiny — that's the whole appeal of the format.
- 2
Copy the direct URL
Served as image/avif, so browsers render it inline.
- 3
Embed or share it
Use in <img> tags, or as the modern source in a <picture> element with JPEG fallback.
Drag-drop UI you might recognize
If you found this page by searching one of these phrases — yes, Foldr.Space does exactly that for AVIF files:
- “Drop files here to upload”
- “Click to upload or drag and drop”
Frequently asked questions
Which browsers display AVIF in 2026?
All current ones — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge have supported it for years now. Legacy enterprise browsers are the remaining gap, hence the <picture> fallback pattern.
AVIF vs WebP?
AVIF compresses better (especially at low bitrates) and handles HDR; WebP encodes faster and has marginally broader legacy support. For photos going on the modern web, AVIF wins; we host both — see the WebP page.
Does animated AVIF work?
Yes — animated AVIF uploads and serves correctly; browser playback support is the same as static AVIF.
Will the image be recompressed?
Never. Your encode settings are the final word.
