Why AVIF vs JPG?
AVIF represents the cutting edge of image compression. How does it compare to the 30-year-old JPEG standard?
JPG (1992): The universal standard. Works everywhere. Predictable quality. Fast encoding.
AVIF (2019): 50%+ smaller files at equivalent quality. Based on AV1 video codec. Slower encoding but dramatically better compression.
The verdict: AVIF offers remarkable compression gains. Use it when file size matters most and you can handle slightly slower encoding. Serve WebP or JPG as fallback.
