  I absolutely hate WebP. Worst format ever.

    What’s wrong with webp? It support animation, lossless compression, lossy compression and transparency. Animation has a smaller size than gif.

      I hate that you can’t right click copy images, it always wants to share as a link. Plus some other issues when sharing, but it’s just such a pain in the ass.

        To ELI5 this, this happens when whoever made the webpage put a text layer above the image - probably on purpose to make it harder for people to download the image.

        That’d be the browser’s (or whatever app you’re using) fault, not the format. I guess you could choose to hate it for poor support.

  Maybe I’m just a newb, but it still looks like PNG is the goto to ensure lossless image storage.

  Everything else on that list that is “better” does/can do lossy compression. I’m not sure how to force apps to use lossless compression, so to me, all those lossy-capable formats are a drawback.

  did you read your own source before posting this comment?

    Yes? Did you?

    Example:

    AVIF

    AVIF is an image format developed by the Alliance for Open Media. AVIF was designed by the foundation to make up for the shortcomings of other image codecs, including PNG, GIF, and WebP.

    AVIF is generally smaller in size than both WebP and PNG. AVIF supports animation while PNG does not.

      AVIF is generally smaller in size than both WebP and PNG. AVIF supports animation while PNG does not.

      The lossless mode in AVIF is so bad that a BMP in a ZIP file produces smaller results.

      Which makes sense, as it doesn’t actually have a dedicated lossless mode (like WebP does), the encoder is just to not quantise the video data it produces.
