Common use cases

Shrinking large PNG web graphics

Illustrations and UI graphics exported as PNG are often huge. AVIF keeps the transparency and sharpness at a fraction of the size.

Speeding up transparent images

When you need transparency but PNG is too heavy, AVIF delivers both — smaller files that still layer over any background.

Optimising an icon or asset set

Batch-convert a set of PNG assets to AVIF in one pass to cut total page weight for modern browsers.

Frequently asked questions

Why convert PNG to AVIF?

PNG files are lossless and large. AVIF can be a fraction of the size while keeping transparency, making it ideal for web graphics, icons, and illustrations.

Does AVIF keep PNG transparency?

Yes. AVIF supports an alpha channel, so transparent areas in your PNG are preserved in the AVIF output.

Does this work in every browser?

Yes. AVIF encoding runs through a built-in WASM encoder, so it works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari alike. The encoder downloads only the first time you convert to AVIF, and encoding can take a moment on large images.

Is my PNG uploaded anywhere?

No. The PNG is encoded to AVIF entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
