Does converting GIF to AVIF keep transparency?

Yes. AVIF supports transparency, so transparent areas stay transparent.

What happens to an animated GIF converted to AVIF?

Only the first frame is converted, so the AVIF is a still image.

AVIF is lossy, and we save at 92% quality, which looks the same as the original to the eye.

Yes. Drop as many GIF files as you like. They convert in parallel on your device and you can download them all as one ZIP.

Format comparison

AVIF stores a still GIF frame with full color and transparency in a small file.

Only the first frame is converted, so this suits still GIFs such as logos and icons.
AVIF keeps the GIF's transparency and can use far more colours, but it can't add detail the 256-colour GIF didn't have.
