AVIF, or AV1 Image File Format, is a relatively new image format that utilizes the AV1 video codec to compress images. AV1 is a royalty-free video compression technology developed by the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia), and it's known for its efficiency in compressing high-quality video.

AVIF takes advantage of the AV1 codec's advanced compression algorithms to achieve higher compression ratios without significant loss of image quality. This format supports features like a wide color gamut, high dynamic range (HDR), and better compression efficiency than other image formats like JPEG, PNG, and WebP.

In essence, AVIF is designed to provide better image quality at smaller file sizes, making it an attractive option for web developers and users looking to optimize page load times and bandwidth usage

ImageMagick supports AVIF compression natively from version 7.0.25.
You can use a command like:

magick -define heic:speed=2 test.jpg test.avif

-define allows you to specify additional AVIF settings. You can substitute the generic quality parameter with the heic:speed option to improve your results
