AVIF Conversion
Overview
A Pro Media module that converts uploaded JPEG/PNG images to AVIF using Imagick, GD imageavif, or an optional external encoder. Keeps originals by default (sidecar AVIF), can wrap front-end images in <picture> for modern browsers, and supports deferred encoding via cron plus batch restore. Requires a valid WP PowerSuite license and a server that can encode AVIF. Hard conflict with WebP Conversion—enable only one.
- Performance-focused sites adopting AVIF for smaller image payloads
- Teams with AVIF-capable hosting (Imagick/GD/external encoder)
- Agencies offering next-gen image conversion inside one suite
