My photo library is an assortment and I've only ever run into issues sending png's. It truly doesn't matter if you're able to edit the file type. Personally, I'm not big with WebM files as they don't run well with my preferred muisic player on mobile though.

don't think you can really convert them properly without losing data

Afaik webp are shit pushed by googlez unsure how good avif is.

Interesting, helps explain why WebM sucks soo hard to try and play on GrapheneOS at least!

Think I just watched something about avif... it's optimized for modern monitors with much better colors. and it's an open standard. so I would def use it over jpeg if I can get away with it

It's not shit, it's just not significantly better or smaller than a properly configured JPEG compressor. I guess it's about point of view.

Unless I'm missing something, I believe both WebP and AVIF have lossless compression as options. Of course, choosing that results on heavier files, but at least there's the option.
