Convert RAF to AVIF

The RAF file extension stands for Fujifilm Raw Image File, a format used by Fujifilm digital cameras to store uncompressed image data directly from the camera's sensor. Introduced to preserve maximum image quality, RAF files contain minimally processed data, allowing for extensive post-processing flexibility. This format, based on the TIFF/EP standard, includes metadata such as camera settings and format version. RAF files are primarily utilized by professional photographers and enthusiasts for high-quality image editing and archiving.

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.
