GIF to AVIF Converter
Convert GIF files to AVIF entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server — the file is processed and downloaded on your device. AVIF is a next-generation format with the best compression of any image format in wide use.
- Only the first frame of an animated GIF is used — animation isn’t preserved.
- AVIF export currently requires a recent version of Chrome. Other browsers will show an error — try WebP instead.
