Convert SR2 to AVIF

The SR2 file extension stands for "Sony RAW 2", a format used by Sony digital cameras to store uncompressed image data. Introduced in December 2005 with the Sony DSC-R1 model, SR2 files capture raw image data directly from the camera's sensor, preserving maximum detail and dynamic range for post-processing. This format is favored by professional photographers for its flexibility in editing and superior image quality compared to compressed formats. SR2 is part of Sony's suite of RAW formats, which also includes SRF and ARW.

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.
