GIF to JXL
File Converter

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a widely used image file format that supports both animated and static images. It is particularly noted for its ability to display images with transparent backgrounds and is commonly used for web graphics, memes, and simple animations. However, GIF is limited to a 256-color palette, which makes it less suitable for full-color photographs and detailed artwork.

JXL stands for JPEG XL, a next-generation image coding standard developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). JPEG XL is designed to provide efficient compression for both lossless and lossy image storage, offering high image quality at lower file sizes compared to previous standards. It supports a wide range of features including high dynamic range, wide color gamut, and progressive decoding, making it suitable for use in various applications from web graphics to professional photography. Despite its advantages, as a newer standard, JPEG XL may not yet have widespread support across all platforms and software.
