What are AVIF and TIFF files?
AVIF (.avif)
AVIF is a next-generation image format based on the AV1 video codec. It can be up to 50% smaller than JPG at the same quality, but many apps and upload forms still cannot open it.
TIFF (.tif, .tiff)
TIFF is a high-quality format used for printing, scanning and archiving. It supports layers and multiple pages, which makes it popular with scanners, publishers and photographers.
