Compress AVIF images at build time instead of at runtime - #5451
Merged
Conversation
ImageMagick's default AVIF quality is near-lossless and produces unnecessarily large files. Add -quality 80 to the PNG/JPG → AVIF conversion steps (saveImages.ts, cell_output_data.py), and re-encode the ~3,257 existing AVIF images under public/ at the same quality, saving 17.49 MB across 778 files.
