Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about converting GIF to AVIF

What is AVIF and why should I use it?

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern, royalty-free image format based on the AV1 video codec. It offers significantly better compression than GIF, meaning smaller file sizes with equal or better quality. This leads to faster loading web pages and reduced bandwidth usage.

Is there any file size limit for conversion?

No! Our GIF to AVIF converter works entirely in your browser with no file size restrictions. However, very large files may take longer to process depending on your device's capabilities.

How does the conversion work without a server?

All processing happens directly in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your GIF file is never uploaded to any server - it stays completely on your device throughout the conversion process.

Will the animation be preserved in AVIF?

Yes! AVIF supports both still images and animations. When you convert an animated GIF to AVIF, the resulting file will maintain the animation with better quality and smaller file size.

What browsers support AVIF?

AVIF is supported in most modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera. Safari added support in version 16. For older browsers, you may need to provide fallback formats.
