Hello !

In future releases, will it be possible to display .avif images directly in messages ?

At the moment, the .avif file is displayed as an attachment, even though the system saves it perfectly and my browser (obviously) supports this format.

I think that allowing this format in the Gallery application (as well as in the others, I haven't checked) would be a good thing.

That'll be all! 😜

Except for Edge (which can enable it with a runtime flag) all other browsers do support it by default currently: https://caniuse.com/avif 🤔

 

(IE doesn't count 😋)

Yes, yes, I'm just saying that Invision doesn't integrate the image (embed) for display directly into the message content.

@NightAngel Ah yeah, I understood that. My post was mostly a "the browsers support it now" kind of notice. I know that in the past only Firefox supported it initially (with v93 I believe?). Things have changed since the last time I checked. 😋

currently all browsers support avif by default already, so maybe its the right time to add support into invision community apps 🤔

and not only by showing avif images directly in posts, but i cant set avif images as grid card images as well 😞

and also image settings should be improved 🤔 theres quite a big difference between same quality value accross different formats - and avif is missing there as well

i also use some external images embedded in a code and with same level of visual quality i squeezed them with avif from 2,6 MB to 0,6 MB which is quite significant saving 🤔

and not speaking about all images in theme resources which still use almost 30 years old formats, mostly png 🤐

so please, do something about it 😔

While I understand you want something to be added here, please bear in mind support for edge and avif was added in 121

https://caniuse.com/avif

Version 121 was release in the last 24 hours. I'm sure you can appreciate, we would not add support for something within 24 hours of a browser supporting a product.

adding full avif support in all parts of suite will take months i guess, so im just letting you know that all browsers already support it 🙂 no need to rush, just please take note of that

+1 for this.

I have recently had some posts on my Invision community with attached .avif images. It would be great if they could be fully supported by Invision community.

I'd like to add my support for AVIF in a future release.  

My users are starting to post in AVIF, and they're a broad proxy for image posters.  

Yes, +1. Not only support for embedding uploaded AVIF files but also for converting outdated formats (JPEG, GIF, WebP, PNG, HEIC) to AVIF upon uploading would be amazing!

My users still think that jpg's are a pretty nifty thing. 🤣

Not sure how they would react with PNG, never mind WebP or AVIF! 🙃
