Convert GIF to AVIF

Turn bulky GIF images into tiny AVIF files with full color and transparency.

Drop your images here

JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, and AVIF, as many as you like. Your computer does the work, so a big batch takes a moment.

AVIF is the most efficient image format available in browsers, while GIF is one of the least efficient. Converting GIF images to AVIF can shrink them dramatically, and AVIF removes the 256-color limit. Drop your GIFs and convert them in one go.

How to convert GIF to AVIF

  1. Drop your GIF files in the box above, or click to pick them. You can add as many as you like.
  2. AVIF is already selected as the output format. Switch on other formats if you want them too.
  3. Optional: open Advanced Settings to resize by percentage, width or height, and add more sizes.
  4. Click Start Conversion, then download each file or all of them at once. Nothing is uploaded: the conversion runs in your browser.

Why convert GIF to AVIF?

Use AVIF when page weight matters most: it keeps transparency and produces the smallest files. Animated GIFs are converted to a still AVIF of their first frame. AVIF takes longer to encode than other formats, so give larger batches a moment.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to an animated GIF?

The converter keeps the first frame and saves it as a still AVIF image.

Which browsers can display AVIF?

Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari (version 16 and later) all display AVIF.

Are my images uploaded?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, on your device. Your images are never uploaded to a server, so this works for private and confidential files too.
