Transform your GIF files into AVIF format instantly within your browser.
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) was introduced by CompuServe in 1987 as a platform-independent format for sharing color graphics over slow, modem-speed connections. It uses lossless LZW compression on indexed images limited to a palette of 256 colors, and its defining feature is native support for simple looping animation, storing several frames with their own timing directly inside one file. GIF also supports single-color binary transparency. Even though modern formats like WebP and AVIF now offer full-color animation with much better compression, GIF's near-universal support in browsers, chat apps, and social platforms keeps it firmly embedded in everyday web culture.
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a royalty-free image format based on the AV1 video codec, with its first specification published in 2019 by the Alliance for Open Media. It currently offers some of the best compression efficiency of any mainstream image format, often producing noticeably smaller files than WebP at the same visual quality, while also supporting HDR color and transparency. Browser support has grown quickly since 2020, and AVIF is increasingly used on high-traffic websites to cut bandwidth and improve load times, though encoding and decoding remain more computationally demanding than older formats.
