PNG to AVIF

PNG to AVIF for the lightest possible images

PNG files are often the single biggest drag on a page, particularly large banners and product cut-outs with transparent backgrounds. Until recently, JPG couldn't help because it has no transparency. This PNG to AVIF converter gives you a modern option: small files with the alpha channel intact.

A 3 MB transparent product shot can become a few hundred kilobytes, with no difference most visitors would notice. That's a real gain for page speed, especially on mobile.

How to convert PNG to AVIF

The encoder loads in your browser the first time it's needed.

1. 1

   Add PNG images

   Bring in logos, cut-outs, illustrations or photos saved as PNG. Batches of up to 20 are supported.

2. 2

   Set a quality level

   For sharp logos and text try 75 to 85. Photos usually look fine from about 60 upward.

3. 3

   Encode to AVIF

   Press Convert to AVIF, and give it a little time. AVIF encoding is slower than other formats, but transparent areas are preserved.

4. 4

   Check the savings

   See the new sizes on the result cards, compare the look, and download your AVIF files.

What suits AVIF, and what doesn't

Rolling it out on a website

• Size images before encoding. Resize Image brings them to their display size, so you aren't storing pixels that never appear.
• Offer a fallback if your audience needs one. The picture element lets a browser choose AVIF or fall back to WEBP or PNG. PNG to WEBP makes the fallback.
• Test on a real device. Open the page on a phone, especially if images have very fine edges.
• Keep the PNG master. Future edits should always start from the lossless copy.

Free, private and local

Nothing is uploaded, so unreleased designs stay on your device. There's no account or watermark. If you ever need a PNG back from an AVIF, AVIF to PNG has you covered, though details lost at low quality won't return.
