Google, with AVIF
- phillipseamore 4y agoHuh? AVIF is an image format offspring of AV1 from the Alliance for Open Media which founding members include Apple, Mozilla and Google. AV1 and AVIF is landing in all browsers. They get the AVIF support for free when they implement the AV1 decoder.

- masklinn 4y ago> Google, with AVIF Google is a major contributor to JXL. AVIF, as an outgrowth of AV1, has support from every major browser publisher, with the possible exception of Microsoft (though they are a governing member of AOM) as they're the only one which isn't shipping AVIF support right now (and as of October): https://caniuse.com/?search=AVIF https://caniuse.com/?search=AVIF
