Image files

current image file formats :
- PNG : best quality , but huge size , not ideal for websites.
- JPEG : reduce the file size but reduce the quality of the images significantly.
- WebP : a newer format that produces better-quality images with significantly smaller sizes.
- AVIF : a new file format that compresses images without sacrificing quality. They are smaller than WebP for the same image quality.

Linux has started providing WebP support recently.
AVIF image format is not yet supported by default in many distributions.
