AVIF Compression

Last updated: 2024-02-18 10:36:35

    Overview

    Image compression is the process of downsizing an image as much as possible without sacrificing quality so that it can be stored at a lower cost and accessed more quickly.
    CI launched the AVIF compression feature. It converts images to the .avif format, which is a new image format launched by Netflix based on AV1 in February 2020 and currently is supported by browsers such as Chrome and Firefox.

    Restrictions

    Format: Images in JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF, WebP, TPG, HEIF, or other formats can be converted into AVIF.
    Size: The input image cannot be larger than 32 MB, with its width and height not exceeding 30,000 pixels, and the total number of pixels not exceeding 250 million. The width and height of the output image cannot exceed 9,999 pixels. For an input animated image, the total number of pixels (Width x Height x Number of frames) cannot exceed 250 million pixels.
    Number of frames (for animated images): For GIF, the number of frames cannot exceed 300.

    Prerequisites

    To use AVIF compression, enable the image advanced compression feature for your bucket on the bucket's configuration page. For more information, see Image Advanced Compression.

    Directions

    CI uses the imageMogr2 API to provide the AVIF compression feature.
    An image can be processed:
    Upon download
    Upon upload
    In cloud
    Note:
    AVIF compression is billed at image advanced compression prices. For detailed pricing, see Image Processing Fees.

    Object name, such as folder/sample.jpg.
    /format/<Format>

    Examples

    Note:
    Processing upon download is used as an example here, which does not store the output image in a bucket. If you need to store the output image, use Processing upon upload or Processing in-cloud data instead.
    Assume that the input image is a 1,335.2 KB image in PNG format, as shown below:
    img
    
    You can convert the image into AVIF format using the following URL:
    http://example-1258125638.cos.ap-shanghai.myqcloud.com/sample.png?imageMogr2/format/avif
