The article talks about raw bitmaps, though, while PNG is a bitmap compressed with deflate.
Since rendering a bitmap is straightforward, I imagine it would be preferred here for performance (I am just guessing here).
- imaginenore 10y agoIsn't HVIF compressed SVG? They basically substituted the verbose tags with binary, which is a form of compression.
- prashnts 10y agoYou're right of course. However, I'd not call it compression of SVG. HVIF seems to have defined a simplified encoding (probably inspired by SVG)? [Edit]: HVIF is rendered in a single pass (except in a few cases), while SVGs (and most vector format) render each element individually.
