AVIF (AV1 Image File Format)
The royalty-free successor to WebP, offering the world's best compression for the web.
AVIF is the cutting-edge image format derived from the AV1 video codec. Developed by the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia)—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Amazon, and Microsoft—it was designed to be the ultimate royalty-free format for the web. AVIF offers significantly better compression than WebP, which was already better than JPEG. It supports features that WebP lacks, such as 10-bit and 12-bit color depth for HDR (High Dynamic Range) images, and it produces fewer compression artifacts at low bitrates. While encoding AVIF files takes longer than other formats, the bandwidth savings are substantial, often reducing file sizes by 50% compared to JPEG.
AVIF uses the HEIF (High Efficiency Image File Format) container structure but encodes the image data using the AV1 video codec. This allows it to use advanced video compression techniques like intra-frame prediction to squeeze image data down to incredibly small sizes. Unlike WebP, which is limited to 8-bit color, AVIF supports 10-bit and 12-bit color depths, making it the first viable web format for HDR photography. It also supports 4:2:0, 4:2:2, and 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, allowing for sharp text and graphics even with lossy compression.
The AV1 video codec was released in 2018 as a royalty-free alternative to HEVC (H.265). The AVIF image format specification followed in 2019. Adoption was rapid compared to previous formats. Chrome added support in 2020, followed by Firefox in 2021. Apple added support in iOS 16 and macOS Ventura (2022), completing the 'universal support' puzzle much faster than WebP did.
Truevision TGA (Targa)
The simple, reliable workhorse of video game textures.
TGA (Truevision Graphics Adapter), often called TARGA, is a raster graphics file format created in 1984. It was the first truecolor (24-bit) format for PC cards. Despite its age, it remains incredibly popular in the video game industry and broadcast graphics because it supports an alpha channel (32-bit images) and is extremely simple to parse.
A TGA file starts with an 18-byte header, followed by image identity information, optional color map, and then the pixel data. The pixel data can be raw or RLE compressed. The 32-bit version (RGBA) is particularly valued because the alpha channel is stored as a simple 4th byte per pixel, making it trivial for game engines to use.
Developed by Truevision for their TARGA and AT-Vista boards, which brought broadcast-quality video graphics to the IBM PC. It became the lingua franca of VGA graphics.
