Layers will be flattened
AI supports multiple layers, but AVIF does not. All layers will be merged into a single flat image. Keep your original AI file if you need to edit individual layers later.
Some metadata may not survive
Your AI file may contain Illustrator properties metadata. AVIF has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.
CMYK → RGB color conversion
Your AI file uses CMYK color space (designed for print). AVIF uses RGB. Colors will be converted — some print-specific colors (especially deep blues and vivid oranges) may shift slightly. For critical color matching, use a calibrated ICC profile.
