Everything you need to know about using this tool effectively

What is PNG to AVIF Converter?

The PNG to AVIF Converter transforms PNG images into AVIF format. PNG uses lossless compression, while AVIF uses modern compression algorithms for much smaller files at equal or better quality. Both formats support transparency. The tool processes everything in the browser, so your image never leaves your device.

This tool reads your PNG file, renders it to a canvas, and exports it as AVIF format. AVIF supports transparency, HDR, and wide color gamut. The file size reduction from PNG to AVIF is often dramatic, especially for photographic content.

What is the maximum file size?

The tool supports images up to 50MB. Most PNG files are well under this limit.
