By default I can only select a unique folder for all images in all folders.

Use Batch Convert, and select "Source Folder" as the folder option.

with 'Batch convert'?

'Batch convert' has this feature but it's not always OK because it forcefully converts images

1. select output format that will be larger than your original files (eg BMP)

thanks, but that's a dirty trick :D
i guess it will work great ...

... use 'Copy to...' then all files will be written in one folder
this is not what i want, i want that source folder structure to be retained

Firefox/web and even Discord now support animated AVIF. (And FFmpeg will properly convert animated GIF to AVIF via libsvtav1.)

it works, but it should be there by default

Thank you Pierre for the efforts so far.
