GIF vs. AVIF
GIF uses a palette of up to 256 colors per frame and supports animation, making it useful for simple graphics but less suitable for photos and detailed images.
AVIF is a modern still-image format with excellent compression and transparency support. Since AVIF has no animation support here, converting takes a single frame rather than the whole sequence.
