FAQ
PARQUET to AVIF Conversion
What are PARQUET files?
PARQUET in this context is GeoParquet, a way of storing geographic data, such as points, lines, and polygons with their attributes, in Apache Parquet files. Parquet is an open format for large tables that keeps the values of each column together and compresses them, which makes files small and lets a program read only the columns and the parts of the table that it needs. GeoParquet adds to it the information that makes the table geographic: which column holds the shapes, how they are encoded, and in which coordinate system they are given. The format is popular for analysis of very large data sets in the cloud, such as all buildings of a country, and it has been developed within the Open Geospatial Consortium. Plain Parquet files without geographic information use the same extension.
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.
