      Feature Overview

      Image compression is the process of downsizing an image as much as possible without sacrificing quality so that it can be stored at a lower cost and accessed more quickly.
      COS launched the AVIF compression feature based on CI to convert images into AVIF format, which is a brand-new image format that uses AV1 compression algorithms. It was first introduced by Netflix in February 2020 and has supported browsers such as Chrome and Firefox.

      Restrictions

      Format: Images in JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF, WebP, TPG, HEIF, or other formats can be converted into AVIF.
      Size: The input image cannot be larger than 32 MB, with its width and height not exceeding 30,000 pixels, and the total number of pixels not exceeding 250 million. The width and height of the output image cannot exceed 9,999 pixels. For an input animated image, the total number of pixels (Width x Height x Number of frames) cannot exceed 250 million pixels.
      Number of frames (for animated images): For GIF, the number of frames cannot exceed 300.

      Prerequisites

      To use AVIF compression, enable the image advanced compression feature for your bucket on the bucket’s configuration page. For more information, see Setting Image Advanced Compression.

      Directions

      COS uses the imageMogr2 API of CI to provide AVIF compression service.
      An image can be processed:
      Upon download
      Upon upload
      In cloud
      Note:
      AVIF Compression is charged by CI at image advanced compression rates. For detailed pricing, see Image Processing Fees.

      Parameters

      Parameter

      ObjectKey
      Object name, such as folder/sample.jpg.
      /format/<Format>
      Compression format, which is avif

      Examples

      Note:
      Processing upon download is used as an example here, which does not store the output image in a bucket. If you need to store the output image, use Processing upon upload or Processing in-cloud data instead.
      Assume that the input image is a 1,335.2 KB image in PNG format, as shown below:
      img
      
      You can convert the image into AVIF format using the following URL:
      http://example-1258125638.cos.ap-shanghai.myqcloud.com/sample.png?imageMogr2/format/avif
