AVIF files are a re-imagination of the popular lossy compression image formats such as JPEG and aim to offer better compression ratios while delivering higher-quality results. Compared to the JPEG format, the AVIF format is still relatively new and has yet to gain widespread support among image viewing and editing applications.

With that said, support for AVIF files is growing and is now supported by the majority of web browsers, with support added in recently released versions.

Uses

Due to their high compression capabilities and support for transparency channels, AVIF files are becoming a popular alternative to both JPEG and PNG files, which makes them a perfect format for web based images and other similar applications.

DDS files are the native image file format used by Microsoft's Direct X gaming API, which was originally developed in the early 2000s as a means for game developers to store texture images in a standard format that are used in 3D game worlds.

The format was enhanced over the years to add lossy and lossless compression and other features applicable to 3D game development. The format has gained some modest support within image editing applications over the years; however, specialist image viewing software is needed to open and display DDS files on many devices.

Uses

The primary use for DDS files is in the realm of videogames, in particular those that run on Microsoft Windows-based machines such as PCs. DDS files are used to store imagery that is applied as textured materials to the surfaces of objects within 3D worlds; they can also be used in 2D applications.
