It is distributed as pre-compiled wheels for common Python versions and platforms, making installation straightforward on Linux, macOS, and Windows.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need AVIF support in Pillow now. The plugin is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses a permissive MIT license, and sees regular downloads.
