What changes when you convert GIF to AVIF
- Both formats are lossy. Re-encoding adds a second generation of loss, so keep quality high (80+) unless size matters more than fidelity.
- Both formats keep transparency, so alpha survives the conversion.
- GIF image animation cannot be expressed in AVIF image; the first frame is converted as a still image.
- AVIF image encoding exposes a quality control; around 80 is the usual sweet spot.
- Encoding is noticeably slower than JPG/WEBP because AV1 is expensive to encode.
