What happens to your data
Kept
- The GIF's transparency and colors are read as they are
- Saved as AVIF at quality 60, often much smaller than JPG or WebP
- Transparency is kept
Good to know
- For an animated GIF only the first frame is used.
- AVIF is not opened by every app yet (older Windows, some editors and printers). Use JPG or WebP if you need the widest support.
- The new format is lossy, so tiny pixel-level differences from the original are expected. Keep the original if you need exact pixels.

GIF vs AVIF
GIF
A GIF file stores simple images or short looping animations using a very limited color palette (256 colors). It's the classic format for memes, reaction animations, and short looped clips.
Used in: Memes & reactions · Simple animations · Messaging apps
AVIF
An AVIF file uses newer, more efficient compression than WebP, producing noticeably smaller files at the same visual quality. Major browsers now support it, and it's becoming the new default for performance-focused websites.
Used in: High-performance websites · Modern browsers · Bandwidth-sensitive apps
