I'm working on a project which generates images in multiples sizes, and also converts to WEBP and AVIF.

The difference in file size is significant. It might not matter to you, but it matters to a lot of people.

Here's an example (the filename is the width):

Also, using the <picture></picture> element, if the users' browsers don't support (or block) AVIF/WEBP, the original format is used. No harm in using them.

(I know this is a meme post, but some people are taking it seriously)

Is the quality the same? If so how do you know? I mean it's better, I'm just curious.

For most of the images that I tried you can only see differences with the images side by side. It's really subtle.

I do have one example for which my config must be bad, compresses a lot but introduces a lot of noise
