What type of suggestion are you making?

Proposing a new feature

What is the problem that your feature request solves?

Do we will had things like advance compressing? like turn any image towards webp or avif and all media to like... av1 or h265?

it will make data smaller and still seems good just some logic to convert all media file to new media extension and conver the already downloaded one example png, jpg, etc to webp / avif

What is your proposed solution?

doing the normal method like archive-ing something then after it they will scan the endpoint like /image.jpg after it they re-interprate as image.webp/avif

while on background we also process any media to new format something like that

What hacks or alternative solutions have you tried to solve the problem?

Share the entire output of the archivebox version command for the current version you are using.

bash
v0.9.35rc203
