P: Please add AVIF file support

AVIF export is now available in the Photoshop Beta. Make sure you are on the latest version of Photoshop Beta, and then go to File > Save a Copy, and choose AVIF from the Format dropdown.

This feature is still in Beta so that we can collect feedback before releasing to everyone in the main app. Please comment here on any feedback you have!

Any updates on similar support for JPEG XL?  (hopefully including both its lossy and lossless options)  We badly need it for projects we're working on now that it has widespread support across macOS/iOS/Safari.  It's been available in Afinity Photo for some time...

I am a volunteer who does not work for Adobe. Stephen Nielson, Senior Product Manager for Photoshop, used the word "soon" in his pinned reply. I am guessing that it means the same as you do — days, weeks, or months, but not years. When AVIF support is available, it will be anounced in this thread.

The public Beta version of Photoshop is for testing and for providing feedback to the developers. New features go there first for testing, then make it into the released version.

Please define the word "soon". Days, weeks or months?

And what do you mean by "beta"? Photoshop BETA 2026 or something? Who gets it?

I thought AVIF was only lossless. 

@SSL-ADT 

I've moved your post to the primary thread about AVIF. It will be coming soon to the beta, and the Adobe team will make an announcement in this thread.

Hello,

Where can I download such plugin? I could not find it anywhere.

"can get away with treating their customers with the same disdain and lack of professionalism."

I hear what you are saying, but Counterpoint: Google, Microsoft, Amazon. I spent 60k with google for a client, and couldn't even get assigned a rep in a US timezone. We'd meet at 2 am local.

All of these companies are this way. But yeah as someone who has used ( and promoted ) Adobe since before they had layers, it is definitely a disappointment.

I was unable to open an AVIF file until I installed a 3rd party plugin. What happens when you try and open one - does it open in the RAW mode?
