Best-in-Class Compression

AVIF delivers the sharpest font renders at the smallest file sizes — AV1 codec technology outperforms both JPEG and WEBP in quality per byte.

Next-Gen Web Format

Serve your TTF font previews in AVIF — the newest web image standard, now supported by all major browsers for lightning-fast page loads.

Cloud-Based Encoding

AV1 encoding is computationally heavy — our servers handle it, so your device is not burdened by the TTF to AVIF conversion process.

About formats

TTF (TrueType Font) is a scalable outline font format developed by Apple Computer in the late 1980s and first shipped with Mac System 7 on May 13, 1991. Microsoft licensed the technology shortly after and included TrueType support in Windows 3.1 in 1992, establishing it as the dominant desktop font technology for over a decade. TrueType describes glyph shapes using quadratic Bezier splines — simpler mathematically than the cubic Bezier curves in PostScript fonts — stored alongside a powerful instruction set (the "hinting" language) that controls exactly how outlines are rasterized at each pixel size. This instruction-based hinting gives type designers pixel-level control over rendering at small sizes on low-resolution screens, producing exceptionally crisp text. The format stores all font data — outlines, metrics, kerning, naming, and hinting — in a single file organized as a directory of tagged data tables. One advantage is universal platform support: TTF files render natively on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and virtually every operating system and web browser without conversion or plugins. The byte-code hinting system is another distinctive strength, enabling screen rendering quality that remained superior to competing technologies until high-DPI displays reduced the importance of pixel-level optimization. TrueType's table-based architecture also proved remarkably extensible, serving as the structural foundation for the OpenType specification that added advanced typographic features and PostScript outline support on top of the TrueType container.

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern image format derived from the AV1 video codec, developed by the Alliance for Open Media and specified in February 2019. The format leverages the intra-frame coding tools of AV1 — a royalty-free video codec backed by Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Netflix, and other major technology companies — to compress still images with substantially higher efficiency than JPEG, PNG, or even WebP. AVIF stores images in the HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format) container, supporting both lossy and lossless compression, HDR (high dynamic range) with wide color gamuts up to 12-bit depth, alpha transparency, and animated sequences. At equivalent visual quality, AVIF files are typically 30-50% smaller than WebP and 50-70% smaller than JPEG, representing the largest compression improvement in mainstream image formats in over a decade. One advantage is exceptional compression efficiency — AVIF delivers visually indistinguishable images at dramatically lower file sizes, directly reducing bandwidth consumption and improving page load times for web content. The royalty-free licensing model provides another key strength: unlike HEIC/HEIF which relies on patent-encumbered HEVC, AVIF's AV1 foundation is free for anyone to implement without licensing fees. Browser support has reached broad adoption, with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all rendering AVIF natively. The format is rapidly gaining adoption for web images where quality-to-size ratio is paramount.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert TTF to AVIF?

AVIF achieves the best compression-to-quality ratio of any image format — your font specimens are sharper than JPEG and smaller than WEBP.

What browsers support AVIF?

Chrome, Firefox, Safari (macOS Ventura+), Edge, and Opera display AVIF natively. Support is now widespread across modern browsers.

Is AVIF better than WEBP for font renders?

AVIF generally produces sharper results at smaller sizes than WEBP, especially for images with fine details like font glyph edges.

Can I convert several fonts to AVIF?

Yes. Upload a batch of TTF fonts and Convertio renders individual AVIF images for each — great for building modern web font galleries.

Is this conversion free?

Convertio provides TTF to AVIF conversion for free — no account, no payment, no restrictions.
