We have a case in the backlog to add support for this, but no timeline yet. ZC-11561 "AVIF Support for PHP"

Thanks for reaching out! While this isn't currently on our roadmap, I'll open it up for discussion to see if it garners more votes.


Thanks!

Is there any status update on this? AVIF has been widely supported in browsers for some time now (only Microsoft Edge left, but that's because of licensing issues which requires legal resolution - patent trolls at work). Jake Archibald, developer advocate at Google wrote "What I'm saying is, the time to care about AVIF is now" back in 2020.

@Kelli, your original answer was much more honest and transparent. It sounds like this is a decision not to support a feature based upon you all not wanting to commit resources to adding support for AVIF and libgd. Is that correct?
Note that this is already a feature in one of your primary competitors that sys admins are flocking to. We really want to stick with cPanel, but it's concerning that we don't see these new features being rolled out in our cPanel/WHM environments.

I gave my original answer because I was under the impression from the Product Owner that we would not be able to get to it, but I was soon corrected which is why I made the edit. I do intend to be honest and transparent as much as possible, and I appreciate your check on me for this.

This item is in the team's current sprint!

@Kelli, thank you for your candor and the clarification.
We are very excited that AVIF support has made it into the latest sprint - that's wonderful!
