How do I convert GIF to AVIF?

Upload your GIF file above. It is converted to AVIF automatically (change the output format or quality in the Settings tab if you need to), then click Download. There is nothing to install.

Does converting GIF to AVIF lose quality?

AVIF is lossy by default, so some fine detail is discarded to make the file smaller. Raise the quality or switch on lossless in Settings for a closer copy.

Will the AVIF keep the transparent background?

Yes. AVIF supports smooth, partial transparency, so transparent areas stay transparent.

Will the animation be kept?

No. AVIF can’t hold animation, so an animated GIF is saved as its first frame.

GIF or AVIF: which should I use?
