Provide reference library and CLI tools (libavif) #44
Comments
Someone already gave it a try: https://github.com/joedrago/avif |
@cconcolato @aklemets Congratulations on officially releasing version 1.0.0 of the spec! Are there any plans for an official reference library (as far as you are aware of)? |
Thanks. As of now, there is no plan to have an "official" reference library for the AVIF layer on top of libaom. We rely on non-official OSS like libavif or mp4box. If you think anything is missing, AOM could certainly consider developing/sponsoring the missing bricks. |
@cconcolato Thanks for the quick response! I think CLI applications are essential for quick feedback loops with users (testing, debugging, profiling, etc.). cwebp and dwebp where great in that regard. |
Hi! We are Link-U, a Japanese digital comics publishing company. We are strongly interested to use AVIF in production. We are developing encoder/decoder commands ourself, so please let me introduce them: cavif - avif encoder, using libaom directly.https://github.com/link-u/cavif Despite libavif supports libaom and rav1e, cavif supports just libaom as a backend. Instead, it allows usesr to control most all of encoding options in libaom, to tune image quality ultimately. Please see long-long-long SYNOPSIS. davif - avif decoder, using dav1d directly.https://github.com/link-u/davif We made it to check the result of cavif. It supports rotation/mirror/crop feature, libavif does not support yet. libavif-containerhttps://github.com/link-u/libavif-container AVIF file manipulating library. cavif and davif use this. It is just for parsing and writing AVIF file, and does not provide encoding or decoding API, to allow users to select their preferred encoder/decoder with preferred settings. |
The group discussed this issue in its meeting today. https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/libavif/ is the reference implementation for AVIF. Other implementations are very welcome and can be listed in the https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/av1-avif/wiki. I'm closing this issue. |
If somebody could update on the issue: Git repositories started by Link-U are outdated, and cloned repository was released in March 2020, so seems to be unmaintained as well. Any hint on where to get a good reference CLI that uses the library (except ffmpeg)? |
For easy integration and experimentation a reference library and command line tools for AVIF should be provided somewhere. It could have a similar structure to webp, which provides a libary

.I would suggest the following 6 packages to be created:
.avif (single frame)
libavif
: Encoding and decoding .avif librarycavif
: Command line .avif encoding tooldavif
: Command line .avif decoding tool.avifs (multi frame / animation)
libavifs
: Encoding and decoding .avifs librarycavifs
: Command line .avifs encoding tooldavifs
: Command line .avifs decoding toolIn this configuration, the avif tools could be very lightweight, since only the AV1 intra encoding and decoding tools are needed. the avifs tools extend avif with the inter en- and decoding code.
cavifs
could replace both gif2webp and img2webp.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
