Transform your animated GIF files into the next-generation AVIF format, achieving up to 90% smaller file sizes while preserving exceptional animation quality and transparency. The future of web animations.
AVIF animations achieve dramatically smaller file sizes compared to GIF, making your website lightning fast.
AVIF supports billions of colors with HDR and wide color gamut, while GIF is limited to just 256 colors.
Full 8-bit alpha channel support for smooth transparency, unlike GIF's binary transparency.
Built on the royalty-free AV1 video codec, AVIF represents the cutting edge of image compression.
Achieves the smallest file sizes (up to 90% smaller than GIF) with minimal visual quality loss. Ideal for web use where file size is critical.
Preserves every pixel perfectly with zero quality loss. Files are still significantly smaller than GIF. Best for archival or when quality is paramount.
Constant Rate Factor mode lets you fine-tune the quality/size balance. Lower values = better quality, higher values = smaller files.
Animated AVIF is supported in Chrome 94+, Firefox 93+, Safari 16.4+, and Edge 94+. For older browsers, you can provide a fallback GIF or WebP using the <picture> element.
Typically, animated AVIF files are 50-90% smaller than the equivalent GIF. The exact reduction depends on the content, colors, and compression settings used.
Yes! Our converter preserves the exact frame timing and playback speed from your original GIF. The animation will play identically in AVIF format.
AVIF uses the AV1 codec which is more computationally intensive than WebP's VP8. The extra encoding time results in significantly better compression ratios — it's worth the wait!
For most web use, a quality of 50-70% provides excellent results with significant size savings. AVIF's advanced compression maintains good visual quality even at lower settings. For critical animations, use 80%+ or lossless mode.
