I think AVIF is a great replacement for GIF (the acronyms even rhyme and all!). For short-video-without-audio, it's as good as it gets. For still images though

I think AVIF is a great replacement for GIF (the acronyms even rhyme and all!). For short-video-without-audio, it's as good as it gets. For still images though, I don't really see any major advantage of AVIF over JXL except AVIF being a bit older and already enabled by default in Chrome. I do see several advantages of JXL over AVIF though. So the way I see it, the future is: AVIF instead of GIF (and APNG and animated WebP) JPEG XL instead of JPEG (and PNG and still WebP) Disclaimer: I am probably biased since I am a jxl dev. Please do your own independent evaluation (and feel free to share your opinions/conclusions with me).
