P: Please add AVIF file support

With AVIF being supported in modern web browsers the need for AVIF as a save as option or export to option would be very helpful.  For those of us that still use Photoshop as a primary graphic editor (even for simple web sites) this will become more and more important as JPG's are replaced.

AVIF export is now available in Photoshop v26.8. Update your version of Photoshop, and you should find it under File > Save a Copy.

For anyone needing it SKIV supports this, it's the most versatile converter for HDR images.

if you want a compiled version you can get it in SpecialK, it's in the root directory.

Small devs can do it just fine but adobe can't spare the resources 😩

Dear @strawbo13 

 

i believe being silent for 3 years (i am writing this message from the future date of December 4, 2024) after your "automated" message is not looking good at all for a file support discussion and that is why we users are being sarcastic and such because we feel like you guys are not hearing what we are asking. Just a simple deadline announcement can be much more useful instead of an "automated" message. We are "still" kindly waiting for your response about it. Thanks.

Adding another voice to the chorus - AVIF is gaining a lot of popularity for websites, so would be great (and a big time saver) if Photoshop could natively export to this format

Has this gotten any traction since 2021? Still not an option.

Hello, we're in 2024, and the community has been asking you to integrate this format for over two years. What are you waiting for to integrate the option of saving in WebP or Avif format?

It is July, 2024 . . . Still no AVIF, let alone WebP, in the "Export as" dialog.

UNBELIEVABLE!
