Convert GIF to AVIF Online Free & Fast
Turn your GIF images into smaller AVIF files in seconds. No installs, no software just upload, convert and download.
This tool converts GIF images to AVIF format directly in your browser. If you're here because you specifically want to keep an animated GIF's motion in a smaller file, please note: this tool does not preserve animation. Like most standard format converters, it extracts a single frame (typically the first) to create a static AVIF image. For static GIFs, AVIF is generally the most space-efficient format available, and any transparency in your GIF carries over cleanly, since both formats support it. Upload your file and download an AVIF in seconds; it's deleted automatically within an hour.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my animated GIF stay animated as an AVIF?
No. While AVIF technically supports animation, this converter extracts a single still frame (typically the first). If you need to keep the animation, you'll need a specialized animated-GIF-to-AVIF tool.
Should I use WebP or AVIF if I want to keep my GIF's animation?
If keeping the animation is the priority and you use a tool that supports it, WebP's animation support is more mature and more consistently implemented across tools than AVIF's it may be the safer bet to try first. (Please note: our tool extracts a single static frame for both).
Will the AVIF be smaller than my GIF?
Usually, yes, for static images especially AVIF is generally the most space-efficient format available.
Will my GIF's transparency carry over to the AVIF?
Yes. Both formats support transparency, so a transparent background in your GIF carries over to the AVIF.
Will converting to AVIF improve my image's colors?
No. GIF is limited to 256 colors, and converting to AVIF can't add back color detail that wasn't in the original GIF, even though AVIF itself can represent far more colors.
Is there a limit on how many GIFs I can convert?
The free plan allows 10 conversions a day for files up to 10 MB. Paid plans remove the daily limit and raise the file-size cap.
Is it safe to upload my GIF files?
Yes. Conversion is automated, uploads are encrypted (HTTPS/TLS) and every file is permanently deleted within 60 minutes. Your images are never used to train AI models.
