An image saved from a modern website came down as AVIF and Photoshop, a printer driver or an older phone will not touch it.
AVIF is a still frame coded with AV1 and wrapped in HEIF. It is decoded and re-encoded as JPEG, which every tool understands. The JPEG will be noticeably larger than the AVIF at the same visible quality.
AVIF supports 10 and 12-bit colour and HDR; JPEG is 8-bit SDR. An HDR AVIF gets tone-mapped down, so bright skies and neon can shift and lose separation. Any alpha channel is filled with white.
It uses AV1 video intra coding, which has far better prediction and transform tools than JPEG's 1992 DCT. Half the bytes for the same quality is normal.
All current browsers, Windows 11 with the AV1 extension, and recent macOS. The gap is in older desktop applications and print workflows.

JPEG Image is lossy, so the quality control decides the trade between size and fidelity.
Instant, because the file never went anywhere. Nothing expires, since nothing was stored.
