AVI to GIF Converter

AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft. It stores both video and audio data and is known for its simplicity and broad compatibility. AVI files often have larger file sizes compared to newer formats due to less efficient compression. It supports various codecs and is commonly used in older Windows-based applications. While less common today, AVI remains relevant in archival and compatibility-focused workflows.

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a bitmap image format widely used for simple graphics and animations. It supports up to 256 colors and allows for short, looping animations, making it popular for memes and web elements. While not suitable for detailed photography due to limited color depth, its simplicity and animation support make it a staple of internet culture. It also supports basic transparency but lacks advanced color and compression features.
