Convert KDC to AVIF

The KDC file extension stands for Kodak Digital Camera Raw Image. It is a proprietary format used by Kodak digital cameras, such as the DC40, DC50, and DC120, to store uncompressed and unprocessed image data captured by the camera's CCD sensor. Introduced in the mid-1990s, KDC files retain all the original data, allowing for precise post-processing adjustments like color correction and exposure. Despite its large file size, the KDC format is valued for its flexibility in professional photo editing.

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.
