@hukl@chaos.social I'm not convinced 🤨
I tried to convert the 525 images from a timelapse-camera and had to go to `-quality 55` to get comparable size to the jpgs.

@lbenedix@chaos.social not sure what I'm looking at and what you are not convinced by. What I did is I took 20 or so images with very different content. Graphics, Screenshots, Hires Photos, Normal size Photos - and took jpeg at Q100 as the reference and increased the compression until it was visibly worse at normal web sizes. For me avif was the clear winner. But jpeg-xl wasn't / isn't widespread adopted yet to consider it (at least for me)

@lbenedix@chaos.social also try the ffmpeg conversion for avif - might give you more control / better encoder. I think i've done it with ffmpeg last time i did this comparison.
