Safari 16 adds support for AVIF image format

The pre-installed Safari 16 browser for iOS 16 and macOS 13 introduces many new features, including web push notifications, Shared Tab Groups, a new password feature, and more. It is worth noting that Safari 16 also adds support for the AVIF image format.

AVIF is a modern picture encoding format that compresses files as much as possible without losing noticeable quality. The image format has been supported by companies including Google, Amazon, Netflix and Microsoft, and now Apple supports it in iOS and macOS.

On devices running iOS/ iPad OS 16 and macOS Ventura, users can download and open AVIF images. In the latest version of Safari Technology Preview, pictures in AVIF format are also displayed correctly.
