How do I convert GIF to AVIF with this online tool?

Upload your GIF file, choose AVIF as the output format, adjust optional settings like compression quality or animation frame rate, then click Convert. Once processed, download the AVIF file directly to your device.

Why should I convert GIF to AVIF instead of keeping the GIF format?

AVIF utilizes AV1 compression to deliver significantly smaller file sizes at comparable or better visual quality than GIF. It also supports modern browser features like 10-bit color, superior transparency, and efficient animation, making it ideal for web performance and storage optimization.

How does the conversion preserve GIF attributes like transparency and animation?

The tool decodes each GIF frame, retaining exact dimensions, frame timing, and 1-bit transparency. It then re-encodes the sequence as an AVIF animation using 10-bit color and alpha channel support. Colors are remapped from the GIF palette to AVIF's wider color space, which can enhance visual fidelity while preserving transparency and motion.
