#Blender 5.1 supports #AVIF but doesn't change the default image quality. JPEG, #WebP, and AVIF are all set to image quality 90.

If you don't change the value, AVIF files are larger than WebP files.

The same visual quality needs different values.

AVIF and WebP are modern image formats that generally produce smaller file sizes compared to the widely used JPEG format. This post explains...

The truth is, #WebP is only a stopgap. The real deal is #AVIF and ultimately #JPEGXL (.jxl).

JPEG-XL is superior in almost everything. In the very few cases that it is not, that's where AVIF comes in.

We can get rid of WebP, old JPEG, GIF, later on. Maybe even PNG and APNG.

Move over #WebP. It's time for #AVIF!

lol, actually it's a #LossyPNG and a LossyWebP.

I'd use #AVIF more on #fedi, but #Mastodon doesn't support it. (boo, hiss!)

Tonight I managed to create a gainmap-style (SDR+HDR) #avif using the latest git version of libavif, converting from an UltraJPG (jpg with gainmap) using avifgainmaputil. Conclusion: No browser support! At least high bitdepth #avif is supported by all browsers except #firefox.

Well, it's "Material You," so it's tinted pink or whatever because that's supposedly the dominant color of my wallpaper (which is the Enterprise D).

The original looked more like this (#AVIF format, heavily compressed)

See blog.yuo.be/2025/05/08/p... for similar experimental results with Firefox. I still think #AVIF is the way to go for web-friendly HDR images! FF will eventually catch up.

Great brightness can be fraught with problems, as it turns out.

... It seems that #bluesky converted the attached avif to jpeg, so you won't be able to see the difference. Source AVIF (converted with #graphicconverter 12) is at: cpbotha.net/2026/02/07/t... Alternative #AVIF, converted using AOM's official avifenc: cpbotha.net/2026/02/07/t...
