AVIF is an image format developed by the Alliance for Open Media. AVIF was designed by the foundation to make up for the shortcomings of other image codecs, including PNG, GIF, and WebP.
AVIF is generally smaller in size than both WebP and PNG. AVIF supports animation while PNG does not.
What are u saying bro, itz still my go to option for transparency saves!, I don’t exactly know the details of the update but I am happy they are showing it some love
Maybe I’m just a newb, but it still looks like PNG is the goto to ensure lossless image storage.
Everything else on that list that is “better” does/can do lossy compression. I’m not sure how to force apps to use lossless compression, so to me, all those lossy-capable formats are a drawback.
I hate that you can’t right click copy images, it always wants to share as a link. Plus some other issues when sharing, but it’s just such a pain in the ass.
They should have let it die because nearly everything else is nowadays somehow better:

I absolutely hate WebP. Worst format ever.
What’s wrong with webp? It support animation, lossless compression, lossy compression and transparency. Animation has a smaller size than gif.
