Sorry, this repository is no longer maintained due to the retirement of the main maintainer. After some time, this repository will be archived.
Ther source is currently maitained on avif-community by the maintaier. It's not a official community of AVIF codec. We take no resposibility the name of the community.
This repository will be removed after 2023-01-31 to resolve the confusing situation.

avif encoder, using libaom directly.
avif (AV1 Image File Format) is a still picture format uses a keyframe of AV1.
The most significant mission of this project is "Make it enable to tune libaom's all encoding options to optimize quality/size ratio as nice as possible human beings can".
AVIF(AV1 Image File Format)は、動画フォーマットであるAV1のキーフレームを流用して圧縮する静止画フォーマットです。
cavifは、ラッパーを介さず libaom を直接叩くavifのエンコーディング・コマンドです。このプロジェクトの唯一にして最大の使命は、 libaomの静止画に関する全エンコードオプションを仔細に操作できるようにして、現生人類が現時点で達成可能な最高の圧縮効率を実現する手段を提供すること です。
If your system cmake is lower than 3.13, please install the latest version:
To install:
- Ubuntu/Debian
- Windows
- mac OS
brew install cmake
meson and ninja are required to build libvmaf.
Please see: https://mesonbuild.com/Quick-guide.html
Or another method: You can use python's venv to install. See our CI about details.

ninjacavif -i <input.png> -o <output.avif>Example avif files are available in AOMediaCodec/av1-avif or link-u/avif-sample-images.
(Currently, detailed documentation is only in Japanese)
You have to encode alpha plane separately(Of course, it's to achieve best image quality!).
