Batch Convert AVIF to GIF Online — Preserve Animations

Yes. AVIF supports animation sequences just like GIF and WebP. Our converter detects animated AVIFs and preserves every frame — timing, loops, and transparency. Your animated AVIFs convert to fully animated GIFs.

• Animated AVIFs → Animated GIF (all frames preserved with original timing)
• Static AVIFs → Static GIF (single frame)

AVIF is the newest image format and has limited browser support. GIF works everywhere:

• Safari: AVIF only supported since Safari 16 (iOS 16, macOS Ventura)
• Older browsers: Chrome before 85, Firefox before 93 don't support AVIF
• Email clients: Almost no email clients support AVIF
• Legacy systems: Many CMS, apps, and platforms only accept GIF/JPEG/PNG

When you need maximum compatibility, GIF is the universal choice.

We support animations up to 1,000 frames per file. The maximum duration depends on your animation's frame rate:

• 10 fps: Up to 1 minute 40 seconds
• 15 fps: Up to 1 minute 7 seconds
• 24 fps: Up to 42 seconds
• 30 fps: Up to 33 seconds

This covers most animated content including short clips, reaction images, and animated stickers.

Yes, often significantly. This is the cost of universal compatibility:

• AVIF: Uses cutting-edge AV1 compression (best compression available)
• GIF: Uses 1987-era LZW compression

Typical size increase:

• A 200 KB AVIF might become a 2-5 MB GIF
• Animated files see the largest size increase
• The more complex the content, the larger the GIF

If file size is critical, keep the AVIF where supported and use GIF only for legacy platforms.

GIF only supports 256 colors in standard RGB. If your AVIF uses advanced color features:

• HDR: Tone-mapped to standard dynamic range
• Wide color gamut (P3, Rec. 2020): Converted to sRGB
• 10/12-bit color depth: Quantized to 256 colors per frame

High-quality dithering preserves visual appearance as much as possible, but HDR content will look different in GIF. This is a fundamental limitation of the GIF format.

Yes. Static AVIFs convert to static GIFs. However, for static images:

• PNG is usually better for graphics, logos, and screenshots (lossless, full color)
• JPEG is usually better for photos (smaller files, millions of colors)

GIF excels specifically for animated content where you need universal playback support.

AVIF supports full alpha transparency (like PNG). GIF only supports binary transparency (on/off per pixel).

• Fully transparent pixels: Preserved exactly
• Fully opaque pixels: Preserved exactly
• Semi-transparent pixels: Converted to either fully transparent or fully opaque

This may affect soft edges, shadows, and anti-aliased content. Glass effects and gradual transparency transitions will appear harder in the output GIF.

Yes. We preserve animation behavior from your source AVIF:

• Loop behavior: Infinite-looping AVIFs become infinite-looping GIFs
• Frame timing: Frame delays are preserved
• Frame order: All frames converted in original sequence

Your animated GIF will behave like the original AVIF.

Yes—GIF has universal email support. This is one of the main reasons to convert AVIF to GIF:

• Animated GIFs work in: Gmail, Outlook (desktop & web), Apple Mail, Yahoo Mail, and nearly all email clients
• AVIF in email: Almost no support—most clients won't display it

For email newsletters with animations, GIF is the only reliable choice.
