P: Please add AVIF file support

Any updates on this? 2 years later and there is still zero communication around this from the Adobe team. WEBP is 13 years old, it still doesn't have a preview feature like JPEG on export, and AVIF, while also being an open source project, has absolutely zero support (and is coming up on its 5th birthday). Get your act together Adobe, why are we even paying 60+€ a month for a suite that doesn't support the most common WEB file formats? We could talk about WEBM too...

Photoshop 2024 is out and still no AVIF support. If we pretend that this basic feature is somehow connected to artificial intellegence, will it get any traction?

I would love to be able to use AVIF without adding another plugin to photoshop!   Please tell me if there is any hope of this?

AVIF support is a critical feature to add to Photoshop. It offers numerous advantages over other web formats:

• Much smaller files (30% typically, but I see up to 85% for some images)
• Better quality (higher bit depth to avoid banding, fewer artifacts typically)
• HDR ("High Dynanic Range") for Apple computers, Android phones, etc which support it.
• Transparency (with a much smaller file than PNG)

There is an excellent 3rd-party plugin for AVIF with Photoshop. However, it is Windows-only and does not support HDR with the metadata required for optimal display. And Adobe Camera RAW already offers very helpful AVIF support, but it cannot be used with batch exports (actions or scripts) and does not support transparency.

With MS Edge now adding support, browser support will soon be nearly universal and this should be a native part of Photoshop.

If you are going to add new web formats, include all of them

WebP, AVIF, HEIC, and JPEGEX are all fairly new and each horse has some people betting on it. Nobody knows which will be the one actually adopted en masse and which ones will be left behind.

Still evaluating, after almost 2 years?

My previous reply was intended for imsaber's post about the plugin at https://github.com/0xC0000054/avif-format

As for Adobe, it is way past time for this support to be implemented. What's the problem, folks? 

Good tip ... if you're running Windows. Unfortunately it is not supported yet on MacOS. 😞

When will you stop evaluating and finally start working?

Instead of giving us features nobody asked for, when will you start developing for your customer's needs again?

It's getting more and more frustrating with Adobe...

They just started supporting .webp format so my guess is it will take them 3 or more years to add .avif support. Here is a plugin that can do this since Adobe has failed at keeping up-to-date with technology: https://github.com/0xC0000054/avif-format
