AVIF at a glance

AVIF

AVIF emerged from the Alliance for Open Media's work around AV1 and uses the HEIF family as its structural container, which connects it to both modern web delivery and newer image-container design.

SLN at a glance

SLN

Telephony systems often value simple, predictable raw media assets over consumer-facing container polish, which is why formats like SLN remain operationally relevant long after their user-facing visibility disappears.
