Support AVIF image format

[adamradocz]

Avif image format will be officially supported on the next Chrome (v85). It would be awesome if you could support it.
It's okay even if you don't convert images, just use the manually uploaded ones.

Thanks for your suggestion, @adamradocz !

We have more people asking for the same thing, so we will talk about it internally and see what can be done.

Issue with the same topic can be found in #512

+1 on Avif support. And is there any new news about Imagify supporting Avif?

[Lucania001]

+1 for support, any news?

[GeekPress]

It's not scheduled yet as some important browser like Firefox and Safari doesn't support AVIF yet. We still recommend using WebP format for now.

[adamradocz]

According to caniuse.com, 67.25% of the internet supports it. That's quite substantial...

@GeekPress Firefox is going to start its support from ver. 93 so I think it's a good time to start the consideration of supporting such a format: https://caniuse.com/avif

+1 for this one, shortpixel already has this feature. https://blog.shortpixel.com/shortpixel-image-optimizer-the-only-wp-plugin-that-creates-avif-images/

[samuelmente]

+1 I would also Love to use Avif on all my clients sites. Please add the support!

When can we expect this feature?

[michaelbourne]

It's been a year since we were told "the near future" https://imagify.io/blog/convert-images-to-avif-performance/

Support is now at 73% and rising. https://caniuse.com/?search=avif

I think it's time to add this to Imagify.

[Bobolinos]

I 100% agree, it takes too long! Shortpixel is way more innovative.

Looks like I'll be cancelling my subscription...

[unitednations-git]

Same here. Would need to see it deployed now 83% of browser support the format. Considering cancelling my subscription as well for another plugin. https://unric.org Thank you for your feedback!

[Mtarnuhal]

Another halve a year has gone by and still no AVIF support.
https://caniuse.com/avif
With 83% of the browsers supporting it, this would be a great addition for the service.

Competition is already on it for a long time .. I hope we'll see it soon, it seems to make such a huge difference

[markkes]

Any update on the process getting avif supported? I would love to support avif images on all of my websites with a gracefull degredation towards webp/jpg/png.

edit; just seen all the tickets in the issue queue. Looks like there is progress, looking forwards too this feature.
