Animated AVIF is widely supported, and can represent GIFs losslessly.
BTW, Chrome vetoed the idea of supporting muted video files in `<img>` like Safari does, so we've got this silly animated AVIF that is a video format that has been turned into a still image format that has been turned back into a video format, which takes regular AV1 video data but packages it in a slightly different way, enough to break video tooling.

- pornel 2y agoYou'd use lossless blocks for really simple pixel art that the GIF was made for. For GIFs made from video clips, you can apply regular video compression and decimate their size.
