@matuzo@front-end.social Since JPEG-XL has been off the cards, I’ve been using AVIF for most images for a while. I’m yet to hear a compatibility complaint and the space savings are very welcome.

@matuzo@front-end.social I think Addy Osmani said some years ago that people should just be serving avifs with jpg as a fallback.

@matuzo@front-end.social We just launched a large project with avif as the main image format. ~25% smaller than WebP on average. Supports alpha transparency as well.
