About the formats
Adobe Illustrator artwork
AI is Adobe Illustrator's native vector format, used by designers for logos, icons and illustrations. Modern AI files are PDF-compatible, so they can be rasterised to an image or, where supported, traced back to clean vectors.
Strengths
- Editable, resolution-independent vectors
- Industry standard for professional design
- PDF-compatible under the hood
Limitations
- Needs Illustrator or a converter to open
- Not viewable in browsers or most apps
- Overkill for everyday sharing
Best for: Opening or previewing designer artwork — usually converted to PNG, SVG or JPG to share.
AVIF image
AVIF is a next-generation format based on the AV1 video codec. It offers excellent compression, wide colour and transparency, often beating WebP and JPG on file size.
Strengths
- Outstanding compression and quality
- Wide colour gamut and HDR
- Transparency and animation support
Limitations
- Not supported by older browsers/apps
- Slower to encode
- Limited editing-software support
Best for: Cutting-edge web delivery where the smallest possible high-quality image is the goal.
