What this converter does

AVIF is practical for websites and CDNs. This converter publishes a still AVIF from a GIF and does not preserve animation.

Use this when building pages that accept AVIF and your original is a GIF still or you only need the first frame.

How to convert GIF to AVIF

  1. Upload your GIF file. Drop a GIF into the upload area (max 200 MB each). Animated GIFs use the first frame.
  2. Set AVIF quality. AVIF is re-encoded with the quality slider (default 90%). Encoding can take longer than JPEG or WEBP. Lower values usually mean a smaller file. This does not restore quality already lost in the source.
  3. Convert to AVIF. Press Convert to AVIF. Processing runs in your browser — the file is not uploaded to ImgTask's server.
  4. Download the result. Download the converted AVIF file when it is ready. Conversion stayed on your device.

GIF to AVIF as a still

Use a high quality setting if the GIF contains text. Palette banding from the GIF source will still be visible.

Formats, limits, and privacy

Upload limit: 200 MB per image, up to 20 files at once. Images above about 100 megapixels may fail in the browser. Conversion re-encodes pixels and strips EXIF, GPS, XMP, ICC, and DPI metadata; orientation is applied visually first. Animated sources use the first frame.

Limitations: Animation is not preserved. Animated GIFs are converted from the first frame. Quality settings affect size and detail.

Privacy: Your image is processed locally in your browser and is not uploaded to ImgTask's server. Image files never leave your device. No account is needed and results carry no watermark.
