Blog Post Feature Images as AVIF (with JPEG Fallback)

AVIF files are images available to be shown on the web, made using the AV1 codec. They offer superiour compression and quality when compared with jpeg files and can be a good choice for display ’nice-looking’ pictures on your site. In this post we look at how you can start using them with Hugo. We originally made the avif files using Gimp, but there are online converters available. To begin with, this is how we define the images we want to use for the blog post.
