AVIF Image Not Supported in Nicepage (2025)

Description:

It’s 2025, and AVIF has become the gold standard for web images, offering superior compression and quality compared to JPEG, PNG, and even WebP. Practically all modern browsers—Chrome (since 85), Firefox (since 93), Safari (since 16.4), and Edge (since 121)—support AVIF, covering over 95% of global browser usage (per CanIUse data). It’s the best web image format available today, reducing file sizes by up to 50% over JPEG and 20-30% over WebP while maintaining or improving visual fidelity, which is critical for fast-loading, SEO-optimized sites like ours at Abrazeaway Sandblasting.

Nicepage 7.5.2 currently lacks native AVIF support, forcing users to rely on older formats or external tools, which disrupts workflow and hampers performance. Please add AVIF as a supported export/upload option in the editor and ensure it integrates with responsive image features (e.g., tags or automatic format selection). This would align Nicepage with modern web standards and give users a competitive edge in site performance.

Steps to Reproduce:

Open Nicepage 7.5.2 editor.
Attempt to upload or export an AVIF image (e.g., example.avif).
Note that AVIF isn’t recognized or supported in the image options.
Expected Behavior:

AVIF files should be uploadable, editable, and exportable, with Nicepage generating appropriate HTML (e.g., with AVIF and fallback sources) to leverage its benefits.

Actual Behavior:

AVIF files are unsupported, requiring manual conversion to JPEG/PNG/WebP outside nicepage.

Priority: High – This is a must-have for 2025 web design.

Modern browsers have only supported AVIF since 2020. It must also be ensured that websites work in old browsers.
With Android and Windows, browsers can be updated at any time, so this is not a problem. iOS users, however, have the problem that Safari can no longer be updated if there are no more operating system updates. I am a web designer and have often had problems with this when clients have older iPhones.

That was 5 years ago.
We also have methods of supplying older formats to accommodate older browsers. For example falling back to webp if the browser doesn’t know about avif

You’re right though. Anyone on iPhone 7 does miss out on avif support. Unless they download chrome or another browser via the Apple store.

Hello,

Thank you for your input.
At this moment, Nicepage does not support the AVIF format, but we added your request to our wish list.
