It's better than JPEG and PNG for most uses, with smaller image sizes. Even 4:2:0 is better than the sRGB usually used in PNG. I'd rather have this now than wait another few years for a few niche usecases (where TIFF can still be used)
- astrange 8y agoYou can use AV1 or HEIF right now, and they're actually modern formats. > Even 4:2:0 is better than the sRGB usually used in PNG. Better for what? Not for wide-color photographs or any kind of colored text, that's for sure.
- devwastaken 8y agoAfaik there is no av1 or heif browser implementations. Theres far less efficient polyfills for heif that are poor on large images.
- astrange 8y agoHEIF works in Safari, and I believe Android will have it soon if it doesn't already. As for AV1, browsers can add it anytime they want…
- ValentineC 8y agoLooking at CanIUse [1][2], it seems like the HEIF support is in macOS itself, and not the Safari browser. I wouldn't be surprised if the Windows version of Safari didn't support it.

- Flimm 8y agoSafari for Windows has been discontinued a few years back.
- gardaani 8y agoChrome 70 Canary and Firefox Nightly support AV1. YouTube has a test channel with AV1 encoded videos. https://9to5google.com/2018/09/14/youtube-av1-video-beta-chrome/ https://9to5google.com/2018/09/14/youtube-av1-video-beta-chr...
- devwastaken 8y agoThat is very, very new, and afaik it uses the poorly performing reference Implimentation.
- imaginenore 8y agoJPEG can do 4:4:4. And so can PNG.
