Have a try with v1.2.0 https://github.com/dreampiggy/AVIFQuickLook/releases/download/1.2.0/AVIFQuickLook.qlgenerator.zip

or

brew upgrade avifquicklook

See readme about how to install the qlgenerator, or using Homebrew to upgrade.

I've installed already but the space bar does not preview anything:

Issue not fixed.

You use another app contains AVIF quicklook, seems ImageMagisk？ uninstall or just remove their "xxx.qlgenetator"

Or GIMP, that icon

Use qlmange -vvvv -p example.avif to find out which is used

[dreampiggy]

I found that some Mac Image Editor app, like Pixelmator Pro, GIMP, also has their own QuickLook plugin which cause conflict

This icon is GIMP ? https://www.gimp.org/

[superbonaci]

Yes, it is GIMP. The '-v' flag does not exist in current version:

Did you try with file attached in first comment?

It must be the file I've provided, which is wrong, since this sample works: https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/av1-avif/blob/master/testFiles/Xiph/tiger_3layer_1res.avif
