minus-squareIlumar@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 day agoI wasn’t even aware of APNG or AVIF before this thread. Webm was just the first alternative for GIFs that came to mind. Looking at this APNG also seems to result in pretty large files whereas AVIF appears to have by far the best compression. AVIF looks like the best alternative for sending short meme clips to people, which I assume is most peoples use case for GIFs.

As mentioned previously, Voyager displays the image as intended.
