Description

I have benchmarked using magick mogrify ImageMagick 7.1.2-13.

based on https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix.org/blob/main/static/blog/img/4d7a1357bc58a20717b2be02d29d2f47003707d0.png (the biggest PNG I could find):

  • PNG 8.7Mi (down from the 9.4 in-repo)
  • WebP 336Ki (3,77%)
  • AVIF 147Ki (1,65%)

based on https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix.org/blob/main/static/blog/img/20250801-matrix-community-summit.png (the most recent one):

  • PNG 1.7Mi
  • WebP 189Ki (10,9%)
  • AVIF 149Ki (8,6%)

Hence we recommend AVIF where possible.
