1. AVIF image format

    A modern image format based on the [AV1 video format](/av1). AVIF generally has better compression than [WebP](/webp), JPEG, PNG and GIF and is designed to supersede them. AVIF competes with [JPEG XL](/jpegxl) which has similar compression quality and is generally seen as more feature-rich than AVIF.

  2. HEIF/HEIC image format

    A modern image format based on the [HEVC video format](/hevc). HEIC generally has better compression than [WebP](/webp), JPEG, PNG and GIF. It is hard for browsers to support HEIC because it is [complex and expensive to license](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Efficiency_Video_Coding#Patent_licensing). [AVIF](/avif) and [JPEG XL](/jpegxl) provide free licenses and are designed to supersede HEIC.

  3. JPEG 2000 image format

    JPEG 2000 was built to supersede the original JPEG format by having better compression and more features. [WebP](/webp), [AVIF](/avif) and [JPEG XL](/jpegxl) are all designed to supersede JPEG 2000.

  4. JPEG XL image format

    A modern image format optimized for web environments. JPEG XL generally has better compression than [WebP](/webp), JPEG, PNG and GIF and is designed to supersede them. JPEG XL competes with [AVIF](/avif) which has similar compression quality but fewer features overall.

  5. JPEG XR image format

    JPEG XR was built to supersede the original JPEG format by having better compression and more features. [WebP](/webp), [AVIF](/avif) and [JPEG XL](/jpegxl) are all designed to supersede JPEG XR.

  6. WebP image format

    Image format (based on the VP8 video format) that supports lossy and lossless compression, as well as animation and alpha transparency. WebP generally has better compression than JPEG, PNG and GIF and is designed to supersede them. [AVIF](/avif) and [JPEG XL](/jpegxl) are designed to supersede WebP.
