FLIF/HEIF

Why aren't more people using FLIF/HEIF?
Both are better than the standard image formats (gif/png/jpg) in every scenario. HEIF is also getting Windows support, so there's no reason not to use it.

Jow Forums doesn't support it, so why would I use it?

Jow Forums doesn’t support a lot of superior formats. Keep sucking gookmoot’s cock.

gookmoot doesn't know how to do shit
he could lower his bandwidth by 50% just by implementing stuff that isn't garbage

Nobody wants this proprietary Apfel format

???

USB is the single most retarded standard ever created. The fact it appeared the same year Java went public can't be a coincidence.

What's the better option?

Firewire

>proprietary
Free is literally in the name

USB-C

>using a potential patent landmine.

hell even jpeg2000 has a fuckload of potential submarine patents.

Fragile as shit

Brcause it is actually good.

>FLIF
It's still pretty young. People don't want to trust their pictures to v0.3 of anything. There is a chicken-egg problem with adoption.
>HEIF
Patents. Obsoleted by AVIF.

This.

I, for one, am glad that Jow Forums doesn't lossily recompress images. It may not be worth it for him to pngcrush PNGs, because pngcrush uses a nontrivial amount of CPU time.

>There is a chicken-egg problem with adoption
Fuck, I just got a brilliant idea. Make a FLIF imageboard. It will save the owner's bandwidth and promote the format.

what stops you?

Moderation duties. I don't want to deal with lossless CP wipes.

We'll get them the day we get VP9 and Opus webms, sitewide.

You can already post VP8 "images". There was once an autist here obsessed with it. Why isn't VP9 allowed yet, anyway?

But it's fairly universal and in that way serves its purpose

I've only ever seen it being used for aerial photography/GIS stuff. Previously I didn't even know it existed.

JPEG2000 also looks like crap with high compression.
It's used in grayscale mode in medial imaging.

It's good at gradients, but kills detail.

Now try MozJPEG.
