FAQ
MVT to AVIF Conversion
What are MVT files?
MVT (Mapbox Vector Tile) is a compact binary file that contains one square piece of a map, a tile, as vector data instead of a picture. A web map is built from many such tiles, and each of them holds the roads, rivers, buildings, borders, and labels that fall into its square, as points, lines, and polygons with a few attributes such as a name or a road class. Because the data are vectors, the map stays sharp at any zoom level, can be restyled or rotated in the browser, and downloads quickly. The format was created by Mapbox and has become a standard way to serve maps on the web, and the specification recommends the .mvt extension, although such tiles are often saved as .pbf.
What are AVIF files?
AVIF is a new image format launched at the end of 2020. AV1 Image File Format was developed by the Alliance for Open Media in collaboration with Netflix, Google and Cisco. This format was created to be an open-sourced and royalty-free image format with a super-compression efficiency. Multiple graphics compression tests show that the .avif format outperforms the JPEG, PNG and WebP image formats for its image quality to compressed file size ratio.
