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.

    Hey I would just say install this plugin and forget about convincing or arguing with Adobe staff:

      A year on from the offical 'correct' answer from Adobe, and this format is still not supported.
      That's some serious evaluating you guy are doing. Especially as Adobe is an active member of the Alliance for Open Media, which developed the codec in the first place!

        Man, that took you guys so long and you've been so aloof and unresponsive about it.  Not a great look, Adobe.

          It's crazy that behemoths with huge resources at their disposal, are so slow to follow even after 2 years the evolution of the DIGITAL DESIGN STANDARDS !

          Dear @strawbo13, I unsterstand that a behemoth like Adobe has a lot of complexity in its producing, but 2 years man, really??

           

          After 2 years that industry top players like Google started to intergrate a new & better file format, and still no news from Adobe?

            Hi @strawbo13 

            quote
            We are evaluated adding support for AVIF to Photoshop.

             

            Any news?

            In other news: Apple just announced they are adding AVIF support to iOS, MacOS and Safari.

              Getting ridiculous that this isn't in here yet, so much of the web is now WEBP or AVIF.

                There is third party software for pretty much everything.

                  There are 3rd-party file format plugins that provide support for AVIF and WEBP.

                   

                  I wrote an AVIF file format plugin for Windows that I mentioned earlier in this thread:  https://github.com/0xC0000054/avif-format

                  Google provides a WEBP file format plugin for Windows and macOS: https://github.com/webmproject/WebPShop

                    This shouldn't even be a question. The question should be, will AVIF and WEBP format support be available in the next upgrade or the one after that? My websites are all getting dinged by Google now in terms of searchability because my images aren't uploaded in one of those two formats. I go to create a workflow to convert all images and find that I can't do it with my (very expensive) Adobe Creative Cloud tools.  What gives, Adobe?  Too busy deprecating my hardware and tinkering with your 3D options?

                      I need AVIF support too.  I just got asked for this as well, and I need it.
