GIF87 to JXL
File Converter

GIF87 is an early version of the GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) file format, introduced by CompuServe in 1987. It supports static images, is limited to a 256-color palette, and allows for transparent backgrounds, making it popular for simple web graphics. However, unlike its successor, GIF89a, GIF87a does not support animations or advanced features such as interlacing, which allows an image to load progressively.

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.
