We& #39;re treated to three(!) new image codecs this generation: AVIF, JPEG-XL, WebPv2. Just like the console wars, there& #39;s a lot of hype talk goin& #39; on:
"Our codec supports 13 megaplimsolls"
"Yes well ours has hyper-green prediction technology™"
Ignore it. Test the codecs yourself.

Try them with representative images, at representative sizes. Zoom them out so they& #39;re at the size they& #39;d be on the page, and see how low you can get the filesize.

Remember, for most images on the web, you& #39;re aiming for "not bad" rather than "almost lossless".
