Firefox supports AVIF out of the box for a while already.
- josephg 4y agoOnly still images apparently. Not supported in Safari yet (though its coming) and Edge has no support: https://caniuse.com/avif https://caniuse.com/avif HEIF doesn't work in any web browser: https://caniuse.com/heif https://caniuse.com/heif
- shmerl 4y agoWhat's the point of animated AVIF vs for example AV1 video file?
- extra88 4y agoMy guess is as a drop-in replacement for GIF; use the <img> element instead of the more complicated <video> element, an inherent lack of audio, no need to specify looping or lack of video controls, etc. I think Safari already supports using at least one actual video format as the `src` in an <img> element but it's weird to do so.
