Do you plan to add support for .avif images ? I use Modern Image Formats to transform my .png into .avif or .webp images, but I’ve seen that the configurator doesn’t support .avif images.
It’s more a question of improvement as it’s not urgent. I just wanted to know whether I should put all my images in .webp or wait until I put them in .avif.
I’ve seen that the configurator doesn’t support .avif images.
How is that so?
The configurator itself does not handle which format are supported. It should take any image format which are supported by WordPress. There might be limitations in the image merging process (for the cart and checkout), but that’s also limited by the server capabilities, not by the configurator, and will not affect the main configurator functionality.
I just did a quick test on my demo site, and I was able to add an AVIF file without issues. The main issue with avif though, is that it does not have as good a browser support as webP, though still minor.
Yeah sorry, the configurator is working well with .avif and .webp. It’s only the “Show configuration image in cart and checkout” option in Image Generation Options that is not working (only tried with .avif). It leads to a critical issue when reaching the cart which said AVIF file is not supported. (https://imgur.com/a/dkn7QTI)
Ok I see. Yes that’s a limitation of the library used for merging the images. It looks like the latest versions of it support avif, so I have added to my todo list to upgrade this.
