Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Everything happens inside your browser using the FileReader API. Your image never leaves your device.

Does the SVG output stay sharp when scaled?

The outer SVG container scales freely, but the embedded AVIF is a raster image, so enlarging it beyond its native pixel size will cause the same blurring as any bitmap. The SVG wrapper itself is resolution-independent.

Which browsers can open AVIF inside SVG?

Any browser that supports both SVG and AVIF decoding can display the result: Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, Safari 16.4+. Older SVG viewers without AVIF codec support will show a broken image inside the SVG frame.

Will the file be larger than the original AVIF?

Yes. Base64 encoding adds roughly 33% overhead on top of the AVIF bytes, plus the SVG envelope. The AVIF compression itself is preserved — no pixel data is re-encoded.

Can I add SVG elements on top of the embedded image?

Yes. Open the downloaded .svg file in a text editor or Inkscape and add , , or other SVG elements after the element to layer graphics on top.

Summary

Upload an AVIF image and download it wrapped in an SVG file — all processing happens in your browser.

How it works

Click the upload area or drag and drop an AVIF file.
Your browser reads the file as a base64 data URI using the FileReader API.
A browser Image element decodes the AVIF to read the natural width and height.
The tool builds an SVG document with a matching viewBox and an <image> element that references the base64-encoded AVIF.
Click "Download SVG" to save the resulting .svg file to your device.

Use cases

Embed an AVIF photo inside an SVG graphic for web use.
Wrap a product image in SVG for scalable display in design tools.
Package an AVIF file as SVG for systems that accept SVG but not AVIF.
Archive an AVIF image in a self-contained, single-file SVG document.
Use the SVG wrapper as a stepping stone before adding SVG overlays in Inkscape.
