AVI Video

AVI is a popular video container file format developed by Microsoft. It can contain both video and audio data, making it versatile for storing movies, TV shows, and other video clips. AVI files are widely supported by various media players and video editing platforms. While not the most efficient format in terms of compression, its broad compatibility makes it a common choice for video content storage and playback.

GIF Image

GIF is a raster graphics file format widely used for web graphics. It's popular for its ability to support animations and a limited color palette, making it ideal for small, animated graphics and simple images. GIF uses LZW lossless compression to reduce file size while preserving image quality. Suitable for creating animated memes, buttons, and other simple visual elements for online use.
