One Nikon D60 RAW file converted to five formats, at quality 90 where the format has a quality setting. PNG is lossless, so it is the largest. Seconds are the median of three runs. Measured with the Contenta Converter 9.0.35 command line on an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, 2026-09-30.

Information about the format: GIF

Format GIF
Company Graphics Interchange Format
Description GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) was released by CompuServe in 1987 — one of the oldest still-used image formats on the web, originally designed for low-bandwidth dial-up. GIF stores up to 256 colors per frame, supports simple animation (multi-frame sequences with timing), and handles 1-bit transparency. The patent controversy around LZW compression in the 1990s is what birthed PNG.
Benefits Broadly supported — every browser, every messaging app, every platform opens GIFs without fuss. Simple animation works without codecs or containers. Small files for solid-color graphics, icons, and logos. The de facto format for internet reaction memes.
Drawbacks 256-color palette looks terrible on photographs — use JPEG or WebP instead. Animated GIFs used for short video clips are inefficient: a 3-second 480p animated GIF is typically 5–10 MB; the same clip as MP4 or WebM is under 500 KB with better quality. For actual motion, video formats win.
