Add support to import and export AVIF images

AVIF is already supported by Chrome and Firefox and Safari.

It would be good to also have animated AVIF supported for prototypes the same way that gifs play when viewing a prototype.

Agree, it’s starting to be used widely and matching live websites using it would be great.
It’s a pain to have to convert to png every time to import in figma

Honestly, this is the most frustrating thing about Figma right now. I feel like support for widely used web standards should be a given in a tool used for digital design -_-

Up, with support everywhere you’re falling behind in this.

Hello, Appreciate you sharing your thoughts about AVIF!
I totally understand how crucial it is for you to have support for this file type in Figma.
I’ve passed along your feedback to our internal team for future consideration!

Thanks,

Bump, can we get support for exporting to WebP and AVIF file formats. I am not entirely sure about WebP but AVIF is open-source and non-proprietary! Our Company is moving towards using AVIF with WEBP as fallback and exporting to these formats directly from Figma would be great!

BUMP, can’t drag drop images into Figma from our own site into new designs / as image content, which is not becoming more limiting.

Enable uploading of .avif files in Figma and FigJam

It’s 2025. .Avif is a big thing. Come on (works for .webp as well)
