How late to the party am I on WebP? I only recently started using it as my preferred format for non-photo images and it's SO MUCH smaller than PNG, and looks much better than JPG used to shrink down screenshots too Has everyone else been having a WebP party without me for years?

I just exported 69 slides from Keynote - as (reduced quality) JPG: 10.4MB, as PNG: 100MB, as WebP: 4.1MB Quality looks great, this 1920×1080 image here is 58KB

WebP also has a straight-up lossless encodings that beat png (not by 25x, but maybe 25% improvement?) And then there's the newcomer on the block, AVIF, which adds another 20%ish on top of that for photos.

Do you find AVIF support is ubiquitous enough to use it? Last I looked it wasn't but it was awhile ago. I still run into places that don't really support WebP right either but it's better than it used to be. I use the weird JPEGs with a gain map for HDR right now.
