AVIF is the first new image format shipped by major browsers in over a decade. This talk will cover the motivation for its creation, the technical and process innovations in the standard and its implementations. I'll tell the story of my personal experiences learning and participating in the standards process as well as implementing support in Firefox with a new Rust-based parser. It will also cover the human perspective of working in the open and the dynamics of cooperating with tech giants as a Mozilla employee.

So so cool!! RU-vid showed me this because I spent all day yesterday looking for a good bulk AVIF converter. So neat to know how much effort went into the standard and the renderer implementations in FFX. Really great talk! On behalf of users, thanks for all the hard work and the long security push!

Nice catch on the clap crop problem...

Great talk... it made me hate ISO a bit more than I already did.

"The difficulty of making a standard open and equitable, while the standards body is for-profit and opaque, is a major challenge"

Your process is amazing to me. I can't quite wrap my mind around a one-man-band approach to a feature of this magnitude

Amazing journey through the lifecycle of a browser feature! Thanks for sharing.

Only three web browsers? There are definitely more than 3 in active development.

Very educational. A deep dive. Great work.

If Mozilla & Firefox hadn't existed, and he hadn't done all this organizing, it sounds like we'd have a less consistent format with security vulnerabilities.

I wonder how AVIF and JXL (JPEG XL) will end up being used. AVIF seems much more ready to use to me for now, but JPEG XL sounds very promising especially for use in websites due to the progressive encoding, lossless JPEG re-encoding (with size reduction) and pretty nice lossless story in general. It seems to be the successor to many good image formats or related techniques, but perhaps with it still being developed now, the reference implementation not having reached 1.0 yet and AVIF gaining marketshare, it might not become The One True Image Format™. I also wonder about how much it and AVIF will displace regular JPEGs, PNGs and GIFs (although the animated ones are perhaps better replaced by AV1)

Dear Sirs, thank you so much, nowadays, it's already high quality animated avif of around a minute video with very small file size, very good indeed. Yet, please advise if it is possible to attach sound track to it as well? I understand it sounds a bit strange to attach audio to image file instead of video file.
