An AVIF file is a raster graphics royalty-free and open-source file format that uses the AV1 video codec. The lossless and lossy compression techniques apply the video codec encoding to create small, high-resolution, and high-quality images. The compressed AVIF images save bandwidth and increase website responsiveness or decrease webpage loading time while sharing qualities similar to the original image. The file format has inherent features that support transparency (alpha channel) and animation. AVIF images are visually impressive and comparatively smaller than traditional file formats such as WEBP, PNG, and PNG.
A Graphic Interchange Format (GIF) file is a low-resolution bitmapped file format for sharing images online. The file format is suitable for rendering images with limited color space and sharp edges. A GIF image file is animated by joining a single or multiple images into one video. The file format uses an LZW encoding algorithm that discourages degradation and loss of image quality. GIF files have successfully displayed images and generated small, soundless animated videos. The file format is mainly used to illustrate memes on specific topical issues.
To convert files from AVIF to GIF use an online tool that supports mass conversion, like Convertjack. Such a tool transforms single or bulk images at once to save time.
Go to Choose File, and select any AVIF photos you want to convert. If you want to do a bulk conversion, click Choose File and select all the AVIF pics you want to convert.
After uploading the AVIF image, click the “Select Format” button at the center. A drop-down menu will pop up; select GIF.
On the bottom right corner of the display, click the “Convert” button. Your converted GIF file will be ready for download.
Click the “Download” button on the right side of the GIF file, and the converted image will be downloaded. If you convert multiple files, each file will have a “Download all” button in front of it, and you can click each button to download all the converted files.
To save a AVIF file as a GIF file, you first convert it to GIF and then download it.
Instead of converting a file manually from AVIF to GIF, use an online tool like Convertjack to convert the file without losing any details.
After converting the AVIF file, Download the GIF file and save it in the default folder for all your downloads on the desktop or mobile.
One of the advantages of GIF is its broad compatibility with web browsers and various software applications, making it useful for simple graphics and animations. However, GIF is not typically used for icons or vector graphics. The main disadvantage of AVIF is its limited compatibility with some web browsers and software applications compared to more established formats. Therefore, if broad compatibility for simple graphics or animations is a priority, GIF is beneficial. Check this AVIF vs. GIF comparison to determine which image format best suits your intended use.
