Smart Snaps

Did You Know?

The AVI (Audio Video Interleave) format was introduced by Microsoft in 1992 as part of its Video for Windows technology. Despite being over 30 years old, it remains widely used due to its compatibility with numerous devices and software. Meanwhile, the GIF format is even older, created in 1987 by CompuServe, but experienced a remarkable renaissance in the social media era, transforming from a simple image format into a cultural phenomenon that's now an essential part of online communication!

Technical Insight

When converting AVI to GIF, there's a fascinating technical challenge: AVI files can support millions of colors and complex audio streams, while GIFs are limited to a maximum of 256 colors per frame and no audio. The conversion process uses dithering algorithms to simulate a wider color range by creating patterns of different colored pixels that, when viewed from a distance, blend together to approximate the original colors. This technique, developed in the 1960s for early computer displays, is what allows GIFs to maintain visual quality despite their color limitations.
