PNG to AVIF Converter

Convert PNG to AVIF

AVIF is one of the most efficient image formats available, and converting a PNG to AVIF can shrink the file dramatically. It is a strong choice for hero images, product photos and any page where loading speed matters.

Why AVIF is attractive for the web

AVIF delivers photo quality at very small file sizes and supports transparency. Smaller downloads load faster, which helps users on slow connections and can improve loading metrics that search engines look at.

Know the support limits

Current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge display AVIF. Many editors, email clients and older devices do not. Use AVIF on your website and keep a PNG or JPG for sharing and printing, or publish both and let the browser pick.

A sensible workflow for AVIF

Export or keep your original as PNG, convert a copy to AVIF, and compare the two at the size they will appear on the page. If the AVIF looks right, use it on your site and keep the PNG as the master. Because AVIF is a lossy format, avoid converting an AVIF back and forth between formats, which would only compress it again.

Good to know about PNG to AVIF

• Keep the original PNG as the source for any future edits.
• Preview the AVIF in your target browsers before replacing images on a live site.
• Transparent PNGs keep transparency in the AVIF.
