GIF is commonly used for single-frame gifs, icons, and low-color graphics, while AVIF is a better fit when you want very efficient compression for delivery to modern browsers and apps. Animated GIFs may be flattened when the selected output does not support animation, so check the downloaded result.
Understand the size and quality tradeoff
AVIF can produce small files, but encoding takes longer and support is weaker in older image editors and operating systems.
