Convert AVIF to GIF.
Turn an AVIF into a GIF for a forum, messenger or old app that does not support AVIF.
AVIF compatibility
AVIF gives great results at tiny sizes, which is why websites serve it. Outside the browser, support is thin, so images you save can be hard to use elsewhere.
Why GIF
GIF is understood by almost every app. It is the right pick for stickers, simple graphics and destinations that require GIF.
Size change
The GIF will usually be larger than the AVIF, sometimes many times larger for a photo, because AVIF is one of the most efficient image formats available.

Why convert AVIF to GIF
AVIF is a modern, space-efficient image format that plenty of apps and sites still can't open. Converting to GIF trades a little extra file size for near-universal compatibility while keeping the visible quality.
Common questions
Is it free?+
Yes. Convert AVIF to GIF free. No signup and no watermark. Free covers 10 server conversions a day, up to 100 MB a file. Pro removes the daily limit and raises the file limit to 2 GB.
Is my file private?+
Your file is uploaded to a private bucket, converted on our own engine, and auto-deleted after 1 hour. It is never sent to a third-party converter.
Is an animated AVIF kept animated?+
No. The first frame is converted to a still GIF.
Will it look as good as the AVIF?+
Graphics will. Photos lose colour depth, because GIF holds at most 256 colours. For photos, AVIF to JPG keeps more detail.
