Godot Version

4.2.1

Question

Hi, newer formats like AVIF or JPG XL seam to have big advantages but are still not commonly used.
I´m interested in experiences and recommandations for Godot.

I´m working on a 2D game and would like to reduce the file size and loading time.

AVIF is my prefered option at this point but it is said by some that it needs longer loading time but also sources for actual experience with Godot are rare.

To my knowledge I need to add an addon to use AVIF in Godot.

Please give me your thoughts. AVIF and others are not commonly used, I guess I am missing the reason.

Benchmark all of them with your images for your needs.

Only way to know for sure.
