Considering modern cameras, increasing image resolutions and thousands of images uploaded to sharing platforms there is still reason to have a deeper look into image compression. Especially lossy image compression is always a trade-off between file-size and image quality, where high quality is usually preferred for storage. Beside classical image compression, e.g. JPEG, there is also ongoing development to use video codecs to compress images. We analyze four different video codecs, namely AV1, H.264, H.265 and VP9, in comparison with JPEG. Our evaluation considers classical image quality metrics, e.g. PSNR, and also a modern subjective quality metric, i.e. Netflix's VMAF. We are able to show that modern video codecs can outperform classical JPEG compression both in terms of quality and file-size. For this we used 1133 uncompressed images and applied different encoding settings and estimated image quality.
