How to Convert PSD to AVIF

Once a Photoshop project is finished, the layered PSD file is often far larger than needed for actually sharing or publishing the result. AVIF's AV1-based compression produces some of the smallest file sizes available for a given visual quality, often 30 to 50 percent smaller than an equivalent JPG, which matters for designers publishing finished work to the web where load speed affects user experience.

Converting PSD directly to AVIF flattens the visible layers and encodes the result in one step, skipping an intermediate JPG or PNG export, with AVIF's alpha channel support preserving any transparency from your design's visible layers.

1. Install Turbo Batch Image Converter Pro on your Windows PC. Photoshop is not required.
2. Open the app and select Batch Mode for multiple files, or Individual Mode for a single PSD.
3. Drag your PSD file or folder into the app window, enabling recursive folder scanning if needed.
4. Set the "From" format to PSD and the "To" format to AVIF.
5. Adjust the quality setting to balance file size against visual detail.
6. Click Convert. AVIF files are written to your output folder, fully offline.
