Design Assets Never Saved to Disk Smallest File Size

Convert SVG to AVIF

Rasterise SVG files to AVIF — the most efficient format for transparent web assets, with up to 50% smaller files than PNG.

Why convert SVG to AVIF?

AVIF is the best-performing raster format available in 2026 for web-delivered assets. When you rasterise an SVG to AVIF, you get full alpha transparency, support in all major browsers, and file sizes roughly 50% smaller than equivalent PNG — significantly better than WebP.

This makes AVIF the strongest choice for SVG assets delivered in modern web stacks: hero images, icon sprites, logo variants on dark and light backgrounds, and any asset where you control the serving environment and want the best possible LCP score.

Common Use Cases

  • Hero images and above-the-fold graphics
  • Logo variants for dark/light mode
  • Icon sets for modern web apps
  • Next.js / Nuxt / SvelteKit image pipelines
  • Cloudflare Images and CDN delivery
  • Open Graph images for modern platforms
Does AVIF preserve my SVG's transparency?
Yes. AVIF supports a full alpha channel, so transparent areas in your SVG stay transparent in the output. No white background is added.
What size does my SVG rasterise to?
By default, Mochify uses the dimensions from the SVG's viewBox or width/height attributes. To specify a different size, use Magic Flow — for example, 'convert to AVIF at 1200px wide, strip metadata'.
AVIF vs WebP — which should I choose for SVG assets?
AVIF if you control the serving environment and want the smallest files — it's ~50% smaller than PNG vs WebP's ~30%. WebP if you need maximum compatibility, including older email clients, some CMSes, and tools that don't yet support AVIF.
Are my files stored anywhere?
Never. Mochify processes everything in memory and wipes the data immediately after your download completes. No copies are kept on our servers.
