As of version 16.1 on macOS 13+ and iOS 16+, Safari can display AVIF encoded images. AVIF is a high efficiency, royalty free, image format that is competing to replace JPEG and PNG as the go to image format for the web.

Loading this test page in Safari on macOS 13.0 shows an AVIF version of the image ("This is an AVIF picture"), while loading it in Orion displays a JPEG ("JPEG fallback image").

Hopefully adding AVIF support is as simple as leveraging the OS-level support.

    I'm also on macOS Ventura 13.0.1 running 0.99.122-beta, and agree it seems that the browser still can't display AVIFs.

      Can confirm that based on that AVIF testing page, Safari and Chromium-based browsers correctly display AVIF but Orion displays a JPEG fallback image.

      Version 0.99.122-beta (WebKit 615.1.11.7)
      MacBook Air (macOS Ventura 13.1 beta build 22C5050e)
      Extensions on/off do not change anything.

        Interesting, this did work.

          Just updated to 0.99.123-beta and I can confirmed its fixed.
