FLIF works well on any kind of image, so the end-user does not need to try different algorithms and parameters. Here is a selection of different kinds of images and how each image format performs …

On this page, we give an overview of available FLIF plugins, applications, tools, and libraries. NOTE: Many items listed below do not have FLIF support yet, we would love for them to though.

Let us compare the compression artifacts of the different formats. We'll look at partial FLIF and PNG files, and compare with lossy WebP, lossy JPEG 2000, lossy BPG, and the older standard formats …

Just like with static images, animated FLIF files can be decoded progressively: the entire animation can be shown (at a lower quality) before the entire file is downloaded.

Lossy FLIF is competitive with specialized lossy formats like JPEG, JPEG XR, JPEG 2000, and WebP in terms of DSSIM (perceptual quality) for a given file size, while it avoids the problem of generation …

The Free Lossless Image Format (FLIF) is a lossless image compression format. It supports grayscale, RGB and RGBA, with a color depth from 1 to 16 bits per channel. Both still images and animations …

FLIF is good at losslessly compressing various kinds of im-ages, not just photographs. Based on Adam interlacing and ∞ YCoCg interleaving, its advanced progressive decoding re-duces the need for lossy …

A FLIF image can be loaded in different ‘variations’ from the same source file, by loading the file only partially. This makes it a very appropriate file format for responsive web design.

FLIF Publications This page lists academic articles and other publications related to FLIF. Jon Sneyers and Pieter Wuille. FLIF: Free Lossless Image Format based on MANIAC compression. September …

There is also an interactive image format comparison page where you can visually compare several image formats, including lossy encoded FLIF. Note however that FLIF is a lossless format, and any …
