    About the formats

    .gif

    GIF is an old image format limited to 256 colours per frame. It survives because it plays short animations everywhere, from chat apps to email, without needing a video player.

    .avif

    AVIF is a newer image format based on the AV1 video codec. It compresses even better than WebP and supports transparency and HDR, but support in editors and older browsers is still patchy.
