Is it gif or jif? Who cares, it's dead anyways. For those interested in seeing the future of animated images, go to 4Chan and look for .webm threads. The technology is amazing. 720p animated images that run at 60fps, load in less than a second and take up a quarter of memory of GIFs.
Obviously some stuff is NSFW, so view at your own risk.
Today we added support for WebM files on 4chans image boards.
While WebM is technically a video file format, it offers many advantages over animated GIFsnamely superior image quality, support for more than 256 colors, and reduced file size. Its main disadvantage is browser compatibility, however 86% of 4chans visits come from browsers that include full or partial support for WebM, and plug-ins are available for those that dont (like Internet Explorer and Safari).
We decided to disallow WebM files with sound for a few reasons, but mainly because its our intention to provide the site with better animated images, and not true video support. To that end, we only accept WebM files with one video stream and no audio streams, that are shorter than 120 seconds long, no larger than 2048x2048 pixels, and less than 3 MB in size.
Were eager to see how 4chans users will adopt WebM, and have posted this short guide on encoding them to ease adoption. Many thanks to desuwa for both championing and implementing this feature.
