GIF to AVIF Conversion: FAQ
What are GIF files?
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) files are widely popular due to their ability to store animations and images in a relatively small size. Their compression algorithm implies the use of a limited color range (up to 256 colors), which means GIF files are great for storing static and animated images of a small size — like logos, icons or avatars, especially if you plan to transfer them or upload them online. GIF images, however, are usually not suitable for high-quality image rendering or printing.
What are AVIF files?
AVIF is a new image format launched at the end of 2020. AV1 Image File Format was developed by the Alliance for Open Media in collaboration with Netflix, Google and Cisco. This format was created to be an open-sourced and royalty-free image format with a super-compression efficiency. Multiple graphics compression tests show that the .avif format outperforms the JPEG, PNG and WebP image formats for its image quality to compressed file size ratio.
