TM2 to AVIF conversion is the process of converting raster images stored in the TM2 (a less common, typically application-specific or legacy image container) format into the modern AVIF image format, which uses AV1-based compression. This conversion re-encodes image data so files become smaller and gain AVIF features like improved compression efficiency, optional HDR support, and broad browser compatibility for web delivery.

TM2 files typically use the image/tm2 MIME type and are used for specialized or legacy imaging purposes. AVIF files use the image/avif MIME type and leverage the AV1 codec for high-efficiency compression. AVIF supports HDR, transparency, and wide color gamuts, making it ideal for web and multimedia use.

TM2 is an older image file format with limited compression and color capabilities. In contrast, AVIF is a next-generation format offering superior compression efficiency and image quality. While TM2 is less widely supported, AVIF enjoys growing compatibility across browsers and devices.
Optimal file sizes: set AVIF quality to 60–80 for a good balance of visual quality and compressed size; typical photographic TM2 images often compress to 20–40% of original size at good quality.
Quality preservation: enable lossless mode or use high-quality presets and preserve original color profile if maintaining exact colors is critical.
Batch conversion: process files in batches and use encoder speed presets (slower presets yield better compression); test one representative file before converting thousands.
Format limitations: TM2 is not standardized across every application — some TM2 variants may embed proprietary metadata or uncommon color encodings that require pre-processing.
