AVIF support via GD Extension, not supported with Modern Image Formats?

    I use Wordify as my managed wordpress hosting provider. The server doesn’t have ImageMagick, but I am running PHP 8.2 which uses the GD Extension (https://php.watch/versions/8.1/gd-avif) for AVIF support.

    Does the AVIF support for Modern Image Formats only check if ImageMagick 7.0.25 or greater is installed? What would it take to support the GD Extension?

    It should be working with both Imagick and GD. You can see that it accounts for both in this logic. So if you only have GD installed and not Imagick, then it should only use GD. Otherwise, if you have both installed, then WordPress defaults to Imagick as I understand.

    Ok, I have a plugin, Admin Site Enhancements (ASE), that gives an option to allow AVIF files to be uploaded to the media library. It checks for the GD extension, and it shows that it is supported.

    However, within the Media settings for Modern Image Formats, it states that AVIF is not supported.
