What is PNG to AVIF Converter?

PNG to AVIF Converter changes PNG images into compact AVIF files for web delivery and storage savings. PNG is lossless and often large, while AVIF can preserve transparent edges with much smaller output for many images. The tool decodes the PNG in the browser and exports an AVIF copy.

How does PNG to AVIF Converter work?

This tool decodes the PNG source, draws it to a browser canvas, and encodes the result as AVIF. AVIF supports alpha transparency, so transparent PNG areas can remain transparent while the file is compressed with a modern image codec.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the quality change?

AVIF uses lossy compression, but the quality is excellent. For most images, the difference from the original PNG is not visible.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. The PNG is decoded, converted, and exported in the browser.

What is the maximum file size?

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

Does AVIF support transparency?

Yes. AVIF supports full alpha transparency, so transparent areas in the PNG are preserved.

Can I convert multiple images at once?

Yes. Upload multiple files and the tool converts all of them.
