Forget webp. AVIF is the image format.
(Especially after Google killed JPEG-XL.)
I will forever support JPEGXL. AV1 is a good video codec, not that good for imgaes.
Google may have killed it on the web but it's slowly gaining support in other places where webp never had any
Glad to hear JPEG-XL is still making its way. It deserves to become the most widespread image format.
Regarding web usage after the Google situation:
I do disagree about AV1. Its AVIF image format spinoff is very good. Often better quality or smaller file size than webp, and has browser support as good as webp nowadays. And of course,
I work on a lot of web projects, and I used to serve webp and AVIF for a while (based on the browser’s HTTP
Acceptheader). Recently, I decommissioned all webp handling and serving code.See https://caniuse.com/?search=image+format. You can serve an AVIF for every requested JPEG or PNG file.
