Image compression #495

I want to use FastFlix for minifying a single image (JPEG; PNG or TIFF source image) using AVIF. AVIF encoding takes a long time with Squoosh. probably because it is only using the CPU.

How can I use FastFlix to encode the input image to AVIF on a NVIDIA GPU?

FastFlix is only designed for videos, so not something really possibly with the encoders it uses behind the scenes.

Squoosh is handy to use but slow, can run avifenc on your computer to make it a lot faster https://web.dev/compress-images-avif/#encoding-avif-images-with-avifenc

I do not know of any GPU based image encoder software wrapper. Would be cool if found, but not something in scope for FastFlix.

Isn't AVIF just an image format though, not a video format? "FastFlix is a free GUI for HEVC and AV1 encoding, GIF/WebP/AVIF creation, and more! "

Animated AVIF can either be a sequence of images or a video file, just without audio. The video converters - like SVT-AV1 - will convert it into a video and then put it in an AVIF container.

If one did convert it to a sequence of images, it would still be like the case of a GIF, where it's animated and not a single image.
