Free GIF to AVIF converter
Make an AVIF stillfrom a GIF in your browser.
Add a GIF and Fileverses draws its first displayed frame to a browser canvas before requesting an AVIF download. The result is one still AVIF, not an animated conversion. AVIF appears only when this browser can create AVIF files, and the source GIF stays on your device.

About this converter
Free GIF to AVIF conversion, built for a real workflow.
GIF can contain animation, while this route uses the browser’s image-decoding and canvas path to make one raster AVIF still. It draws the GIF’s first displayed frame, then asks the browser to encode that canvas as AVIF at the app’s fixed 0.7 quality setting. That is useful when a single frame is the asset you need for a modern browser-aware destination. It is not a way to keep animation, choose or extract additional frames, recover detail from a palette-limited GIF, create transparency, or guarantee a smaller download. Check that the receiving browser or service accepts AVIF before replacing the original.
- A GIF is decoded onto one canvas frame, so the downloaded AVIF is a still image. GIF animation is not preserved, and this page has no frame picker or frame-extraction tool.
- AVIF output depends on the current browser supporting canvas AVIF encoding. If that check fails, AVIF is removed from the available output choices.
- The browser requests AVIF encoding at the app’s fixed 0.7 quality setting. It cannot restore colors, detail, or motion information that the GIF did not retain.
- The converter accepts up to 50 files under 50 MB each, but each decoded image must be no larger than 12 megapixels. Compare the finished still in its destination; output size is not guaranteed.
How it works
Upload once.
Export AVIF.
Keep AVIF selected
AVIF is preselected when this browser supports canvas AVIF output. The converter draws the GIF’s first displayed frame as a single still canvas image.
Convert, download, and check
Download the AVIF still, then review its appearance, dimensions, file size, and AVIF compatibility in the site, app, or service that will receive it.
Made for real pipelines
GIF to AVIF.
One workspace.
Convert without uploading your assets. Switch outputs anytime — web, print, icons, and document targets from the same batch.
Convert GIF to AVIF stillSingle-frame AVIF output
Turn the GIF’s first displayed frame into one AVIF still when a static image is what the destination needs.
Browser capability check
AVIF is offered only when the current browser can create a real image/avif canvas output, avoiding a mislabeled fallback file.
Local batch workspace
Add up to 50 eligible GIFs, create separate still downloads, and keep the source files in your browser rather than sending them to a server.
Good to know
Questions, answered.
Will an animated GIF stay animated after conversion to AVIF?+−
No. Fileverses draws one GIF frame to a canvas and creates a single still AVIF. It does not preserve GIF animation or provide an animation export. Choose a video or animation workflow when motion must remain.
Which GIF frame becomes the AVIF?+−
The browser conversion path draws the GIF’s first displayed frame to the canvas. There is no control to select another frame and no tool here to extract a sequence of frames from the GIF.
Why is AVIF not available as an output choice?+−
AVIF is shown only after Fileverses checks whether the current browser can create an image/avif canvas blob. If that capability is unavailable, select a different output or use a browser with AVIF encoding support.
Will converting GIF to AVIF improve the image quality?+−
No. The browser encodes the pixels it decoded from the GIF at the app’s fixed 0.7 AVIF quality setting. Conversion cannot restore colors, edges, or detail limited by the original GIF, and AVIF encoding can change the appearance.
Does GIF to AVIF create a transparent background?+−
No. The route does not remove backgrounds or invent transparency. AVIF can carry alpha, but the actual result depends on the pixels the browser decoded from the GIF and the browser’s AVIF encoder.
What are the GIF upload limits and where is conversion performed?+−
You can queue up to 50 files, with each file under 50 MB; a decoded image over 12 megapixels is rejected. Conversion happens in your browser, so Fileverses does not send the GIF to a conversion server.
