Description

Hello,

I would like to ask for support for avif image format.

This is the same problem as the missing webp support and is related to the QT library.

If you have a connection to the developer, it would be good to discuss the two formats with him. Actually avif is more interesting because our test results gave much better image qualities at the same file size as webp.

Thank you.

Research direction

Review the existing WebP support and the Qt image-format integration first. Identify the files and dependency or build changes needed for AVIF, then verify that Tiled can load and use AVIF images at the same points as WebP.
