AVIF Image Format Support

[iankduffy]

Wondering if there are plans for AVIF Image Format Support for sanity images (https://jakearchibald.com/2020/avif-has-landed/) at the moment I have auto format on which in chrome 85, is getting webp images but this could be a AVIF image meaning even smaller images file size to be loaded on the site, in terms of web performance.

This would indeed be great, but I suspect from this library's perspective it'd just be the same auto=format parameter added, indicating that client accepts any supported format.

Edit: but please consider this an upvote too, anyways! :) Even if the changes may be on the back end side.

Now that this has dropped in Chrome and Firefox, as well as Gatsby adding support gatsbyjs/gatsby#28742 - it'd be great to see Sanity supporting it too!

It's coming, but there are a number of considerations given it's a very costly format to encode (10-15x that of JPEG/WebP). We're eager to deliver, but we want to make sure we get it right :)

Any update here? Supported at imgix also now.

Is there any plan to support it someday or has this idea been abandoned?

Any updates? Would love to see AVIF support <3

The documentation says:

q
integer
Quality 0-100. Specify the compression quality (where applicable). Defaults are 75 for JPG and WebP and 55 for AVIF.

So maybe it's here already? Can anyone confirm? Thinking about switching to sanity.

autoformat still delivers webp, no sign of avif yet.

Any update there?
I guess not but just letting you know it is something we would for sure implement!

+1 we want avif! 👏 we want avif! 👏

[peterskogsberg]

...or are we skipping a format generation and going directly to JpegXL?

Seriously, it's been 20 months since
"We're eager to deliver". @rexxars

avif bump!

I love to see AVIF too

Is this something that could be opt in, if you don't mind the extra cost of processing? It might be a nice ROI for certain websites

Almost 3 years later, this standard is still missing :(

Any updates here?

Any news?

went searching for AVIF options with sanity, stumbled upon this issue. 3 years and no updates. 😢

Ode to Sanity, Thou Art Most Fair

In realms of code where Sanity doth reign,
A platform vast, where structured data’s kept,
A wondrous tool that doth developers gain,
Yet one great woe hath countless eyes e’er wept.

Four years and more, a promise once was made,
To bring forth AVIF in all its grace,
Yet still we wait, in hope’s long shadow laid,
With eager hearts and tear-streaked, weary face.

Oh, Sanity, thy features rich and bright,
Have brought us joy in many varied ways,
Thou art a beacon in the coding night,
But here we languish, longing for the days.

For AVIF, that format sleek and new,
Could make thy splendor even more complete,
Tens of developers, their tears like dew,
Cry out for thee, with voices bittersweet.

Imagine then, a world where all is right,
Where AVIF doth dance within thy frame,
A place where joy and peace would reunite,
And Sanity would earn yet greater fame.

So hark, ye builders of this mighty tool,
To heed the pleas of those who love thee well,
For once this gap is bridged, our hearts may cool,
And in thy triumph, future stories tell.

Then let the world, with Sanity's embrace,
Rejoice in harmony, both near and far,
As AVIF finds its rightful place,
And makes thee brighter than the morning star.
