Convert EXR to AVIF

The EXR file extension stands for OpenEXR, a high dynamic range (HDR) image file format developed by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) in 1999 for visual effects and film production. OpenEXR is widely used for its ability to store multi-channel, floating-point images, supporting complex visual effects workflows with superior image quality and precision. Its features include lossless and lossy compression, arbitrary image channels, and a flexible data structure, making it an essential tool in professional digital imaging and animation industries.

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.
