WebP vs AVIF: The Future of Web Images

Modern web के लिए WebP और AVIF दोनों ही शानदार हैं, लेकिन use-cases अलग हैं।

Compression & Quality

• AVIF: बेहतर compression at same visual quality, especially low bitrates.
• WebP: Near-photographic quality, faster encoding.

Browser Support

• WebP: All major browsers.
• AVIF: Wide, but slightly behind on some legacy devices/apps.

When to Use

• Use AVIF for hero photos/thumbnails where smallest size matters.
• Use WebP for balance: speed + compatibility + quality.

Strategy

Serve AVIF with WebP fallback. Keep PNGs for transparency-critical assets.
