Pause, inspect frames and change animation speed

Choose a local image from Files on your phone or computer. Pause, inspect the previous or next frame, then play to continue. Choose 0.25×–4× speed for slow or fast playback. Zoom, rotate and fit remain available. Controls require frame decoding support for the format; other browsers show a native preview with an explanation.

You can also click Samples beside Open folder, then choose a file from the Animation samples folder. These original gradient images were generated by Anyfile for trying the viewer.

IMPLEMENTATION

Viewers responsible for this format

AVIF stores AV1-coded image items in an ISO Base Media container and can include alpha, sequences and high-bit-depth data. Anyfile uses the current browser's real decoder for the selected file.

Common question

Can I pause and slow down an animated AVIF?

Yes, when your browser supports frame decoding for that AVIF sequence. Pause to inspect individual frames or choose a playback speed from 0.25× to 4×. Unsupported browsers show the native preview and explain the limitation.

Why does AVIF support vary between browsers?

The container can use different AV1 profiles, bit depths and item relationships, and browser decoders do not support every combination.
