This turns an AVIF image into a GIF. Be clear about what AVIF to GIF is for, because it is not an upgrade in any direction. GIF is a format from 1987 with a 256 colour ceiling, and the reason to convert into it is that something you are dealing with accepts nothing else.
Your AVIF can hold millions of shades. The GIF picks 256 for the entire image. On a face or a sky that shows up immediately as banding, those hard steps where a smooth gradient used to be. Flat artwork, charts, screenshots and line drawings come through almost untouched, because they never used more than a handful of colours to begin with.
AVIF can store a pixel that is partly see through, which is what gives a cut out image its soft edge. GIF has one fully transparent colour and nothing in between, so those soft edges turn hard and jagged. On a matching background you may never notice. On a different one you will.
Old does not mean small. GIF compression hunts for runs of identical colour, and a photograph has almost none of those, so a detailed AVIF often lands larger as a GIF than it started. The two numbers on the row tell you before you commit to it.
One still image out
An AVIF holds a single picture, so the GIF it produces never animates.

Anything added by mistake comes out of the list, one row or the whole set.

That is the palette limit showing as colour banding. Images with large smooth areas such as skies and skin show it worst.
Not here. The palette is worked out from your own image, which is usually a better result than any fixed set of colours would give.
It goes blocky or disappears at the faint end, because GIF cannot store the partial transparency a shadow is made of.
For quality, yes, comfortably. PNG keeps every colour and every level of transparency. Choose GIF only when GIF is what has been asked for by name.
