GIF

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)

The format of short animations and memes. It uses a palette of at most 256 colours, so it’s fine for simple graphics but degrades photos. Transparency is all-or-nothing: a pixel is either solid or invisible.

Best for
Short animations, icons and graphics with few colours.
Limits
Only 256 colours and no partial transparency; long animations get very heavy.

Questions about AVIF and GIF

Are my AVIF files uploaded to a server?

No. The conversion from AVIF to GIF happens entirely in your browser, using your device’s computing power. Files aren’t sent or stored anywhere: when you close the page they’re gone from memory too.

How many files can I convert at once?

Up to 100 files at a time. There’s no fixed size limit: it depends on your device’s memory. On smartphones it’s best to work in smaller batches with heavy files such as videos.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes, with up-to-date Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet. On phones, converted files end up in the Downloads folder or the Files app.

Do I need an internet connection?

Only to open the page (and, the first time, to download the components needed for that type of file). After that the conversion keeps working even if the connection drops.
