Both are modern web formats that produce smaller file sizes than PNG and JPG. AVIF compresses more aggressively and produces smaller files than WebP, but takes longer to encode. WebP has wider browser support. For most web projects, WebP is a safe default. Use AVIF when file size is the top priority.
