I was doing some research on archival photo storage, and I've totally missed the existence of the AVIF format. It's fairly new but well supported, as much as 40-55% smaller than JPEG, and doesn't have the same edge artifacts (so it's appropriate for things like documents). Webp felt like a disappointment. I guess it's 25-35% smaller, but never felt like it to me. Or maybe it never felt worth it to re-encode for those savings. Though apparently lossless webp (which I didn't know about) is 25% smaller than PNG, which is useful all considered. Apparently lossless AVIF is a unremarkable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVIF https://caniuse.com/avif
