2. Set target image format, image quality and image size. You can use the original image size or select the "Change width and height" option and enter a custom image size. The format is [width]x[height], for example: 1920x1080. The image quality option only works on a few image formats such as JPG, WEBP or AVIF. The value ranges from 1 (lowest image quality and highest compression) to 100 (best quality but least effective compression). If this value is blank, the converter will use the estimated quality of your input image if it can be determined, otherwise 92. The target image format can be JPG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, HEIC, BMP, PS, PSD, WEBP, TGA, DDS, EXR, J2K, PNM, SVG, etc.

GIF vs AVIF:
| Name | GIF | AVIF |
| Full name | CompuServe Graphics Interchange Format | AV1 Image File Format |
| File extension | .gif | .avif |
| MIME | image/gif | image/avif |
| Developed by | CompuServe | Alliance for Open Media |
| Type of format | Lossless bitmap image format | Image format |
| Introduction | The Graphics Interchange Format (better known by its acronym GIF) is a bitmap image format that was introduced by CompuServe in 1987 and has since come into widespread usage on the World Wide Web due to its wide support and portability. | AV1 Image File Format (AVIF) is an image file format specification for storing images or image sequences compressed with AV1 in the HEIF file format. It competes with HEIC which uses the same container format, built upon ISOBMFF, but HEVC for compression. Version 1.0.0 of the AVIF specification was finalized in February 2019. |
| Technical details | GIF supports up to 8 bits per pixel for each image, allowing a single image to reference its own palette of up to 256 different colors chosen from the 24-bit RGB color space. GIF images are compressed using the Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) lossless data compression technique to reduce the file size without degrading the visual quality. | AVIF supports features like: High dynamic range; 8, 10, 12 bit color depth; Lossless compression and lossy compression; Monochrome (alpha/depth) or multi-components; Any color-space including: wide color gamut, ISO/IEC CICP and ICC profiles; 4:2:0, 4:2:2, 4:4:4 chroma subsampling; Film grain. |
