Feature detail

It would be really cool if immich would support avif. This is probably a feature request for the distant future but I wanted to open it anyway to draw attention to it.

This feature request initially intended to support uploading, processing and viewing avif files but there is also a second use case for avif. Namely to use it for the thumbnails since avif has a higher quality at the same size or a lower size with the same quality compared to webp. But maybe it's too early if the intend is to cover a very broad audience and avif is not yet supported on all devices.
