convert-to-avif

convert-to-avif is a skill for Claude Code from danielrosehill/Claude-Image-Production-Plugin. It costs 71 tokens per session (946 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for converting JPEG, PNG, or TIFF images into AVIF, a modern web image format that can reduce file size while maintaining visual quality. It supports quality, speed, bit-depth, and lossless settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to convert individual images or folders to AVIF for modern websites, web pipelines, or high-bit-depth archives.
Why use it?
It helps prepare smaller web images and preserve higher-bit-depth or lossless source material when the target browsers support AVIF.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

convert-to-avif scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Convert to AVIF

Encode JPEG/PNG/TIFF to AVIF. AVIF beats WebP on compression ratio and supports 10/12-bit, HDR, and lossless modes. Browser support is universal as of 2024 (Chrome 85+, Firefox 113+, Safari 16.4+).

When to use

  • Web-prep where modern browser support is fine.
  • Archival of high-bit-depth photos (10/12-bit AVIF preserves more than JPEG).
  • Pre-step inside web-ready orchestrator.

Do not use this skill when:

  • Output must work in Safari <16.4 / IE / very old Android browsers — fall back to WebP or JPEG.
  • Source is already AVIF — no point re-encoding.
  • You need lossless re-encoding of a JPEG that should remain bit-exact-decodable — that's convert-to-jxl's unique trick, not AVIF's.

Inputs

  1. Input — file or directory. Required.
  2. Qualityavifenc -q N (0–100). Default 60 (visually equivalent to JPEG q82, much smaller). 80 for archival; 45 for aggressive.
  3. Speed/effortavifenc -s <0..10>. Default 6 (balanced). 0 is best compression but very slow; 10 is fast but bigger files.
  4. Lossless--lossless. Enables lossless mode (ignores quality). For exact archival of PNG.
  5. Bit depth--depth 8|10|12. Default 8. Use 10 for HDR or 16-bit source.
  6. Output dir — default: <input-dir>/avif/. Skill never overwrites originals.
  7. Recursive--recursive for directory descent.
  8. Preserve EXIF — default off (web-prep assumption). --keep-exif to copy EXIF over via exiftool.

Procedure

  1. Verify avifenc is on PATH. If missing, point at install-deps.

  2. Enumerate inputs (jpg, jpeg, png, tiff — skip others with note).

  3. For each file:

    avifenc -q <quality> -s <speed> [--lossless] [--depth <n>] "<input>" "<output>"
    

    Per-file. avifenc is single-threaded per encode but accepts --jobs N for tile-parallel — useful on large images. For batch parallelism, use xargs -P <ncpu>.

  4. If --keep-exif was set, post-process:

    exiftool -tagsfromfile "<input>" -all:all "<output>" -overwrite_original
