Recently we published on how next-gen image formats have really unlocked the power of compressing images more and more. Read here: Image Optimisation with Next Gen Image Formats (WebP and AVIF). Smart Imaging already supports formats like WebP, JPEG2000, and JPEGXR that automatically convert JPEG / PNG to these next-gen formats. With effect from May 2022, Smart Imaging also adds support for AVIF Format. In the blog on Image Optimisation using Next Gen Image Formats (WebP/AVIF) we published, AVIF has provided a 20% extra size reduction over WebP, which provided a 27% reduction over JPEG. All at the same visual quality. In total AVIF provides up to 41% average size reduction over JPEG (in some images we even got 76% reduction).
Smart Imaging does all the quality mapping automatically.
