Hey devs! Heads up, we're planning on making some changes to our image CDN tomorrow. - Images will be served as WebP by default - The URL format you get from the Bluesky API will change a little You can look forward to an announcement about image quality soon 👀

existing URLs will still work, and if you really really want a JPEG you can append @jpeg to the end

I think it's often overlooked that AVIF is also really good at flat colour & sharp edges. Don't go straight for a lossless format just because it's the kind of image that would look bad as a JPEG. Here's an 11kb image as an AVIF, vs JPEG XL.
A clean looking graphic with sharp lines and crisp colourThe same graphic, but muddy and blocky. The previously sharp lines are blurry.

I secretly hoped that if ever Bluesky would decide to reencode images, you would leapfrog WebP and AVIF to go directly to JPEG XL… maybe next time hehe
