FAX to AVIF conversion is the process of taking an image encoded in a FAX-compatible format (commonly TIFF-based Group 3/Group 4 fax images) and converting it into the modern AVIF image format (AV1 Image File Format) for more efficient storage and web-friendly delivery. This conversion translates monochrome or grayscale fax raster data into AVIF's compressed image containers, enabling smaller files and better browser/device compatibility while preserving readable content.

FAX files are typically used for scanned faxed documents and are often bulky and less optimized for web use. AVIF is a modern image format that provides high compression rates and better image quality, ideal for digital viewing. While FAX focuses on document transmission, AVIF excels in efficient storage and display of images with vibrant colors and transparency support.
Keep original fax resolution: many faxes are 200–300 dpi; converting at or near original DPI preserves legibility.
Optimal file sizes: aim for 50–300 KB for single-page faxes in AVIF when using lossy compression with moderate quality; lossless AVIF will be larger.
Preserve text quality by using lossless or high-quality lossy settings; aggressive chroma subsampling or low quality can blur thin lines.
Batch conversion: convert multiple pages as individual AVIF images or pre-split multi-page TIFFs; use a CLI or bulk tool to maintain consistent quality settings.
