What is a AVI file?
AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft. It can store both video and audio data in a single file and supports a variety of codecs.
Although an older format, AVI is still widely supported and used for video playback, editing, and sharing. However, its larger file sizes and limited support for newer features make it less efficient than modern formats.
How to open AVI files
AVI files are compatible with nearly all media players, including VLC, Windows Media Player, and QuickTime (with codecs). They are widely used in both editing and playback.
You can convert AVI to MP4 or MKV using AnyConv for improved compression and compatibility.

What is a GIF file?
GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format. It’s a bitmap image format developed by CompuServe in 1987. It became popular on the web due to its ability to support short animations and transparent backgrounds.
GIF uses lossless compression but is limited to 256 colors, making it less suitable for complex images or photographs. Still, it's widely used for memes, simple graphics, and looping animations.
How to open GIF files
GIF files can be opened by almost any device or web browser. They automatically play animations in apps and browsers without extra software.
You can also edit GIFs in specialized tools like GIMP or convert them using online services such as AnyConv.
