The latest Construct updates and browser updates have made possible some interesting new improvements for both video support and images. We wanted to highlight...
I had to reduce the size of an image of a sky which is 6000 x 4000 pixels, size of the image in PNG = 37 MB, and I tried to put it in Avif format:
Without loss = 19.6 MB, not bad at all, but actually useless because Jpg maximum quality, much better, 16.6 MB!
But it gets interesting afterwards, although I haven't done any tests with JPG with reduced quality, it's too complicated to do this kind of thing.
So I tried Avif maximum quality but with losses = 9.28 MB, nice!
Then quality 50% and then something crazy, not even 60KB even though the quality remains very good!
Well, it's a blue sky with clouds so there's no need for great quality, we don't care, yes but still, it's just crazy, I don't even realize actually that much it's crazy, we're talking about an image that's still 24,000,000 pixels, that's not nothing, how do they manage to achieve such a feat?!!!
So this codec is really crazy and what kills me is that it's free!!!
...
For me something like this is worth at least €1 billion and even more lol!
Imagine that he manages to make a data compression codec as crazy as that, ok well it's not at all the same thing yes, but hey, it would have been crazy from crazy!
