Add AVIF image format

AVIF is a new image format derived from the keyframes of AV1 video. It's a royalty-free format, and it's already supported in Chrome 85 on desktop.

It's ridiculously light compared to JPEG, and it would bring massive performance improvement to our websites.

Here's a detailed comparison with different image formats like JPEG, PNG, WebP, etc:
AVIF has landed

    I converted my JPG files to WebP. I found the quality of WebP is so bad, even if you put %100 quality. I regret that I converted all my assets to WebP and I want to turn them to JPG for now.

    But AVIF has a better quality and result.

    If you are an artist and want to show your portfolio don't convert your files to WebP for any reason.

    the quality of images in AVIF is spectacular at half the size of JPEG. Safari will be supporting it in v13 in fall 2022. Webflow must consider supporting this open source format that will become the standard

    Would it be possible to have an official statement from Webflow according this? I understand not supporting webp, but as avif is the new standard it should be integrated as soon as possible.

    Otherwise webflow wont be a valid alternative for landing pages o.s. anymore.

    This is the biggest complaint from my https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed performance analysis.

    I will just note that AVIF is supported now by all major browsers and is quite easy to impliment. It will likely save hosting costs for Webflow as well. We actually had it working on our website prior to migrating to Webflow, and this was one of the major losses we incurred by switching.
