    Oddly, reminds me of when Apple first pushed/forced HEIC on all of it’s users, without letting them know of course. Because of that, it caused thousands of students to fail their AP exams.

      Big problem with HEIC is it requires H265 licensing because it’s effectively a single frame of video. This is why Windows won’t open HEIC by default is Microsoft didn’t want to pay for the licensing

      It’s sad.

      Adoption rate does matter. HEIC currently has a 13.99% adoption, and WebP has a 95.92% adoption rate in web browsers.

      So when considering support in softwate, it’s more reasonable to pick WebP as default, rather than HEIC.

      There are of course other considerations, like compression efficiency, format features, patents, …

      My Samsung was recording videos in Hevc by default the other day and it was a pain to edit them in Da Vinci Resolve. Luckily Kdenlive handled them without any problems

      Only from the Lemmy image view, but the original is JPEG and you can download it too.

      Every image will always load in irfanview regardless of extension. You just need to make sure your file associations are correctly configured

    Decoder skill issue. If ImageMagick or whatever other open-source software can read it, everyone else has no excuse.

    (That said, if I could pick, I’d pick JPEG XL)

    Even lemmy.world is in this bucket (not sure about other instances). See: https://lemmy.world/post/28304534

    We used to be like this about PNGs once, it’ll pass.

      Some sites still don’t support PNG lol. Usually it’s places where they specifically expect a photo, where they’ll hard code the validation to only check if it’s a JPEG. I once had to upload a picture of my face for something and the original JPEG was too large, so I took a screenshot and tried uploading that but it wouldn’t work because it only accepted JPEGs. So I had to figure out how to compress the image locally on my phone because I didn’t want to upload a picture of me to one of those online converters.

        Yeah that’s true. I’m mostly talking local tools right now, but low tier sites are always gonna be a problem.

        The only program I’ve seen that explicitly doesn’t support PNG is old Source games with custom spray images.

    Hilariously, WebP often isn’t better than JPEG for compression efficiency
