The journey of converting all Reactive images to AVIF is nearly complete. Couple weeks ago I figured out the FFMPEG command. Last week I downloaded all 4.5M existing images, converted them, then re-uploaded Today I flip the switch to have people use them and see if there are issues

Before the swap, the images took up 2.5TB and individual images could be over 300MB. After conversion it's 150GB total and under 10MB for even the craziest images. Part of that is AVIF is just crazy good at animation. Part of it is I'm finally using lossy compression.
