Convert AAI to AVIF

The Dune HD AAI file extension, AAI, stands for Alpha-Alpha Image and is a raster image format used by Dune HD media players to display images with transparency, such as icons for Internet radio stations or channels. It stores 32-bit RGBA image data, which includes an alpha channel for transparency. This format is primarily used within Dune HD's ecosystem for organizing and displaying media content. The AAImageGen app, available from Dune HD, allows conversion of images like JPG, PNG, and BMP to AAI format.

AVIF, or AV1 Image File Format, is a modern image format derived from the AV1 video codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media. It is designed to deliver high-quality images with superior compression efficiency compared to traditional formats like JPEG and PNG. This format supports advanced features such as HDR (High Dynamic Range), WCG (Wide Color Gamut), 10-bit color depth, and alpha transparency, making it ideal for web developers and digital content creators seeking to optimize performance and visual fidelity. Introduced in 2018, AVIF has rapidly gained adoption due to its open-source nature and effectiveness in reducing file sizes without compromising quality.
