+## Adding new image types {#add-image-format}
+
+Silverstripe CMS support JPEG, GIF, PNG and WebP images format out of the box. Silverstripe CMS can be configured to support other less common images format (e.g.: AVIF). For this to work, your version of PHP and of the [`intervention/image` library](https://intervention.io/) must support these alternative image format.
+
+For example, this snippet can be added to the configuration of older Silverstripe CMS projects to allow them to work with WebP images.

+```yml
