Yes? Did you?

Example:

AVIF

AVIF is an image format developed by the Alliance for Open Media. AVIF was designed by the foundation to make up for the shortcomings of other image codecs, including PNG, GIF, and WebP.

AVIF is generally smaller in size than both WebP and PNG. AVIF supports animation while PNG does not.

The lossless mode in AVIF is so bad that a BMP in a ZIP file produces smaller results.

Which makes sense, as it doesn't actually have a dedicated lossless mode (like WebP does), the encoder is just to not quantise the video data it produces.
