Converting AVIF to GIF: what to know
AVIF is converted to GIF for websites, forums and programs that accept only GIF.
GIF holds at most 256 colors, so photos and smooth gradients get grain and banding; the number of colors and the dithering can be changed in the settings. GIF transparency has no semi-transparent edges, and the file is usually many times larger than the AVIF. For editors and messengers, JPG or PNG is usually the better target.
AVIF or GIF: which to choose?
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format)
AVIF is a next-generation format based on the AV1 video codec with very high compression and HDR support.
Best for maximum compression of photos for the web when modern browsers are the target.
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)
GIF is the classic format for short animations, limited to 256 colours.
Best for short looping animations, stickers and simple graphics.
What happens when converting AVIF to GIF
GIF stores the image without loss: the conversion adds no artifacts, but details already lost in AVIF compression will not come back, and the file is usually larger.
EXIF metadata, including GPS location, is not copied, and the photo orientation is applied to the pixels.
AVIF files up to 256 MB are supported; the actual limit also depends on the free memory of your device.
