Why convert SVG to GIF?
SVG and GIF handle compression differently — check the comparison below before you convert anything you can't re-export from the original. The main reason to convert SVG to GIF is compatibility: GIF opens in every browser, image viewer and design tool without a plugin, while SVG doesn't always. If you're sharing a file with someone else, sending it to a tool that expects a specific format, or archiving it for the long term, GIF is usually the safer target.
Format comparison
| SVG | GIF | |
|---|---|---|
| Extension | .svg | .gif |
| MIME type | image/svg+xml | image/gif |
| Compression | no compression scheme of its own | lossless compression |
| Category | image | image |
Your file, handled carefully
Uploads are encrypted in transit and at rest, processed in an isolated job, and deleted on the schedule you choose — as fast as immediately. We don't index, search, or share files between accounts. Read the full security model →
Frequently asked questions
Is converting SVG to GIF free?
Yes — the first 50 conversions every month are free on any plan, including SVG to GIF.
Will I lose quality converting SVG to GIF?
GIF is legacy animated/static format with limited color depth, still widely used for short loops. We use the highest-quality encoder settings by default so visual or data loss is minimized.
Do you keep a copy of my file?
No, not by default. You choose a retention window at upload — immediate, 1 hour, 24 hours or 7 days — and the file is permanently deleted after that.
What is SVG?
Vector format that scales to any size without quality loss.
Will my converted file have a watermark?
On the Free plan, GIF output includes a small "Converted with Convyx" mark. Pro ($9/mo) removes it, along with the 25 MB file size cap.
What happens if a conversion fails?
You get a clear error message and the job is marked failed in your history — we never silently drop a file. Retry is one click, and nothing is charged against your quota for a failed job.
