Why convert PNG to AVIF?

PNG files can be large, especially for photos.

AVIF gives the smallest files of any image format, ideal for fast websites.

What to expect

  • AVIF is lossy, so the file gets much smaller. At the default quality (90%) the difference is very hard to see; you can change it before converting.
  • AVIF encoding takes a few seconds per large photo because it compresses much harder than other formats.

About the formats

PNG (Portable Network Graphics, 1996) is a lossless format that keeps every pixel exactly. It supports full transparency, which makes it the standard for logos, screenshots and graphics with sharp edges.

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format, 2019) is the newest major image format, based on the AV1 video codec. It usually produces the smallest files of all, often half the size of JPG, with transparency and HDR support.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert PNG to AVIF?

Drop your PNG files into the box above (or tap Select files), check the options, then press Convert. Each AVIF downloads on its own, or you can download them all as one ZIP file.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser on your own device. Your PNG files are never sent to a server, so they stay private, and it works even on a slow connection once the page has loaded.

Is there a limit on how many PNG files I can convert?

No. Convert as many as you like, for free, without signing up. Very large batches are processed one after another so your browser stays responsive.

Will I lose quality converting to AVIF?

AVIF uses lossy compression, but at the default 90% quality the difference is practically invisible. Move the Quality slider up for the highest fidelity or down for smaller files.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. It works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Edge on phones, tablets and computers. Nothing to install.
