Shouldn't this be benchmarked against WebP instead of (obviously much worse) JPEG?


It is benchmarked here against WebP, HEVC, and JPEG2000, as well as JPEG. That's what all the graphs are. AVIF wins quite convincingly on the metrics they've used.


Or indeed HEIC.

A lot of so-called "next generation" codecs are really "current-generation" now.


Benchmarks against HEVC and WebP are included in the metrics section of the article.


Does any browser support HEIC yet? To my knowledge, even Safari doesn't.
