How AVIF compares to PNG
AVIF is generally more compact than PNG. The main differences are file size, quality characteristics, and transparency support.
Quality recommendations
For AVIF output, start at the balanced preset and adjust to taste. A lower quality setting shrinks the file further; a higher one keeps more detail. Keep the original PNG file for archival edits.
Is conversion private?
Your PNG is re-encoded to AVIF locally, including its alpha channel. The image never leaves your device.
Batch convert PNG to AVIF
Turn a group of PNG images into AVIF in a single batch with transparency intact. Free, private, batch ZIP, and no upload.
Frequently asked questions
Can AVIF store transparency?
Yes. AVIF supports an alpha channel so transparent PNGs convert cleanly and stay small.
Is AVIF always smaller than WebP for PNG graphics
Usually yes for photos, though encoding is slower. For sharp line art WebP lossless can be similar, so test both for your asset.
Will converting PNG to AVIF lose quality
Not at balanced or high. PNG is lossless, AVIF can be lossless or lossy. Use lossless AVIF to keep every pixel or balanced for much smaller files. Use check the pixel size before export.
Will converting to AVIF degrade quality?
Every AVIF re-encode discards a little detail. Keep your original file if you might re-edit it later.
