About the formats

GIF · Graphics Interchange Format

GIF is a 256-colour image format best known for short looping animations. It is old, widely supported and relatively large.

AVIF · AV1 Image File Format

AVIF is a next-generation image format based on the AV1 video codec. It often produces files half the size of JPG with better detail, and supports HDR and transparency.

The conversion runs on your device using jSquash (MozJPEG, OxiPNG, libwebp, libavif and libjxl) compiled to WebAssembly. You can adjust: quality, lossless, max width, max height, rotate, flip.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert GIF to AVIF?

Drop your GIF files onto the page, or click “Choose files”. You can add many at once, or a whole folder. AVIF is already selected as the output. Optionally open Options to adjust quality, lossless, max width. Click Convert, then Save. Converting several files? Save them all as one ZIP.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device, so it is safe for private photos, contracts and business data. Once the page has loaded it even works offline.

Will converting GIF to AVIF reduce quality?

AVIF uses lossy compression, so some detail is traded for a smaller file. At the default quality the difference is very hard to see or hear, and you can raise the quality setting if you need more.

Can I convert multiple GIF files to AVIF at once?

Yes. Add as many GIF files as you like; they are converted in parallel on your device and you can download them all as a single ZIP.

Is it free? Are there limits?

It is free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limits. Because nothing is uploaded there is no upload size limit either; the only limit is your device’s memory, which matters mostly for very large videos.
