How do I convert DCS to AVIF?

Upload your DCS 1.0/2.0 file (including all linked separation files for DCS 2.0). Select AVIF as the output format, optionally adjust compression quality (0-100) or enable lossless mode. Click 'Convert' to composite the CMYK/spot separations into one RGB image and encode it with the AV1 codec. Download the finished .avif file.

What happens to CMYK channels, spot colors, and clipping paths during DCS to AVIF conversion?

The converter merges all DCS color channels into a single composite. CMYK and spot colors are flattened and converted to AVIF's YUV color space using the embedded ICC profile for accurate color. Clipping paths are discarded because AVIF does not support path data; alpha transparency from the DCS alpha channel, however, is preserved in the AVIF alpha plane. Vector previews are rasterized at the output resolution.
