Are 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 5y 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 5y agoNah, Firefox uses a built-in decoder, it just isn't quite ready yet.
- dmhmr 5y 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 5y agoI was seeing the difference in chrome, but on linux.
