How to convert PNG to AVIF

YYou want a smaller file, are publishing to the web (use WebP/AVIF), or sending via email with a size cap. Web performance is your #1 priority and you accept marginal compatibility trade-off.

A lossless-compressed image format created in 1996 as a free alternative to GIF. Supports per-pixel transparency through an alpha channel, keeps exact quality, and is the standard for graphics, icons, screenshots, and any image with text or flat color areas.

• —Images with transparency (logos, icons)
• —Screenshots and screen captures
• —Graphics, diagrams, infographics with text
• —Material that will be edited multiple times (quality preserved)

A next-generation format based on the AV1 video codec, released in 2019. Compresses even further than WebP — typically 30-50% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality. Adopted by Netflix, YouTube, and increasingly by big sites for performance-critical images.

• —Sites obsessed with Core Web Vitals
• —Hero images and heavy banners
• —E-commerce where latency hits conversion
• —Content distributed over bandwidth-limited networks

1. Upload the file

Drag your PNG file into the upload area, or click to select it from your computer. You can upload several files at once — they'll be converted in batch.

2. Check the quality setting

AVIF has adjustable quality in most cases. Leave it at 85-90% for the best size/quality balance. For professional material, bump it to 95-100%.

3. Click convert and download

Processing is near-instant (seconds per image) because it happens right in your browser. When it's done, download each file individually or all together as a ZIP.

Before converting, it's worth understanding what each format brings to the table:

PNG — best for:

• —Images with transparency (logos, icons)
• —Screenshots and screen captures
• —Graphics, diagrams, infographics with text
• —Material that will be edited multiple times (quality preserved)

PNG — limitations:

• —Files significantly larger than JPG or WebP
• —Not ideal for photos (less efficient compression)
• —No animation support (use APNG or GIF)

AVIF — best for:

• —Sites obsessed with Core Web Vitals
• —Hero images and heavy banners
• —E-commerce where latency hits conversion
• —Content distributed over bandwidth-limited networks

AVIF — limitations:

• —Support still smaller than WebP on very old browsers
• —Slower encoding (but fast decoding)
• —Editors and design tools still catching up

Typical scenarios where this conversion solves a real problem:

• —Images with transparency (logos, icons)
• —Screenshots and screen captures
• —Sites obsessed with Core Web Vitals
• —Hero images and heavy banners
