So it's basically what webp is to webm? Also how does it compare to my favorite image format, FLIF? http://flif.info/ http://flif.info/

- bhouston 9y agoAbout 95% smaller than FLIF I would think.
- adamzochowski 9y agoHow is it 95% smaller? FLIF is a lossless compression, and AV1 in lossless mode can't do magic. It can't do 95% better. https://wyohknott.github.io/image-formats-comparison/report.html https://wyohknott.github.io/image-formats-comparison/report.... FLIF is reported at 59.57% avg space savings AV1 (2018-02-22) is reported at 66.02% avg space savings
- notatoad 9y agopresumably it's 95% smaller because it's not limited to lossless mode?
- simcop2387 9y agoFLIF is also not limited to lossless mode, http://flif.info/lossy.html http://flif.info/lossy.html
- zaarn 9y agoAnd FLIF's lossy mode is as good as AV1's?
- simcop2387 9y agoThat part I don't know. I haven't seen a comparison between them, but it's compared well at least against BPG, or whatever the h264 based format was. I don't think i've seen a comparison against h265, let along AV1. It'd be interesting to see. Even if they're about as good, I like FLIF's setup better since it enables progressive decoding which could be a big step up for slower connections.
- TD-Linux 9y agoFLIF has much better lossless compression than AV1 but much worse lossy compression.
- pornel 9y agoIt's more like a PowerPoint document with any number of WebM embeds and other files. HEIF/AVIF is a complex kitchen sink of all the features that a mobile camera app may dream of, so it supports arbitrary collections of images and videos, e.g. "live" photos, tiles, bursts, subtitles, multiple layers, multiple versions.
- chungy 9y agoSo it's basically the new MNG?
