# Automatic image delivery in AVIF

Shopify now supports automatically optimizing storefront images using the AV1 Image File Format (AVIF) format, which improves performance by reducing delivered bytes. Optimization occurs on a per image basis, where Shopify will examine the request and determine the best compatible file format (e.g. AVIF, WebP or JPEG) based on image quality and compressed bytes.
