How to convert AVIFS to GIF
- Add your .AVIFS file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .GIF in a few seconds.
- Download your new .GIF file.
What to expect
- GIF supports only 256 colors per frame, so gradients and photos will band and dither noticeably compared to the AVIF.
- The resulting
.gifis usually several times larger than the source.avifsdespite the lower visual quality. - FFmpeg and ImageMagick need a build compiled with AVIF (libavif/dav1d) support, or the input will fail to decode.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my GIF so much bigger than the AVIF?
GIF has no modern inter-frame compression and stores each frame with a limited palette, so the same animation balloons in size.
Will the animation loop and timing survive?
Yes, frame timing and looping are preserved; only color depth and file size change.
Do I need a special FFmpeg build?
You need an FFmpeg compiled with libavif/dav1d so it can decode the AVIF sequence.
Can I keep transparency?
GIF supports 1-bit (on/off) transparency only, so soft alpha edges from the AVIF become hard or fringed.
