The colors on the side and head of the cow are pretty bad in the avif vs the jpeg and webp images. Those 4kb aren't free in this example.

- jaffathecake 6y agoAre you using Firefox? The AVIF decoder in Firefox isn't ready yet (it isn't enabled by default) and has particular issues around colour. I'm not seeing the differences you're describing in Chrome. But, of course, those 4kb are not free, but the artifacts seem a lot more natural than other formats. Fwiw, I looked at a few images in detail at https://jakearchibald.com/2020/avif-has-landed/ https://jakearchibald.com/2020/avif-has-landed/.
- darekkay 6y agoI've made the same experience: AVIF images sometimes look strange in Firefox (AVIF support behind a feature flag), but they look good in Chrome. I think Firefox might use the OS AVIF decoder, because the images also look strange when I open them directly on my Windows machine.
- jaffathecake 6y agoNah, Firefox uses a built-in decoder, it just isn't quite ready yet.
- dmhmr 6y agoI can see the differences in Chrome too though? I came to the comments to see if anyone else could tell that the AVIF example is inferior to alternatives.
- postalrat 6y agoI was seeing the difference in chrome, but on linux.
