Frequently asked questions
Will converting GIF to AVIF reduce quality?
AVIF is a lossy format: it discards fine detail the eye barely notices in exchange for a much smaller file. Use the quality slider to balance size and sharpness.
Will the AVIF file be bigger or smaller than my GIF?
Usually much smaller. AVIF compresses more aggressively, and the quality slider lets you trade size against sharpness.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. ImgHint converts files in your browser, so your images never leave your device.
Is this converter free? Is there a file size limit?
It's free with no sign-up. Because conversion runs on your device, the practical limit is your device's memory.
