Personally, my primary concern is that my collection of #WebP images will suddenly become inaccessible because all the image viewing/conversion/editing tools suddenly lose support for it.

I guess it's not the end of the world if that happens, but it's pretty scary to think that the data in my possession might suddenly be yanked away like that.

Now that #Dolby has launched a #patent lawsuit over #AV1, unless I'm mistaken we're about to have a repeat of the #Unisys #GIF patent situation where all #browser⁠s must remove support for widely-used image and video formats, namely AV1, #AVIF, #WebP, #WebM, #VP8, and #VP9.

This is really bad. The only other widely supported video codec is #MPEG-4 (which is also patented) and the only other widely supported lossy image format is #JPEG (which is rather inefficient).

What do we do?

Edit: I was annoyed with how crappily low-resolution the imgflip version was (and how they use nearest-neighbor for scaling down their images!), so I recreated the meme entirely in #LibreOffice Draw, saved it at roughly 2.5 times the resolution of the original, and used #WebP compression to make it 1,029 bytes smaller than the original JPEG!! 💪

Веб-графика, которая вредит: что разработчики делают не так

Обратимся к статистике: по данным с https://httparchive.org/ за последние 6 лет средний размер веб-страницы значительно увеличился. Если в декабре 2019 года средний вес десктопной веб-страницы составлял 1,9 МБ, то сейчас он уже 2,9 МБ для десктопа и 2,6 МБ для мобильных устройств. Это рост на 50% за 6 лет, причём изображения составляют до 40% общего веса страницы. С увеличением разрешения экранов, усложнением дизайна и тенденцией к использованию изображений высокого качества нагрузка на сайты продолжит расти. Это напрямую влияет на скорость загрузки, потребление трафика и, в конечном итоге, на пользовательский опыт. Просматривая недавно пул-реквест, я заметил, что туда добавили новые изображения. Меня удивил выбор формата: для картинок без прозрачности использовали PNG. Это кажется избыточным, так как для многоцветных изображений лучше подходят форматы вроде JPEG, которые весят меньше. Я решил провести эксперимент: оптимизировал и переконвертировал изображения в JPEG, WebP и AVIF, сохранив качество на глаз неотличимым от оригинала.

#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 encoding quality settings

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.
