About the PNG to AVIF Converter
Convert PNG to AVIF online for free, with no account and no watermark. PNG photos are large and slow to upload or email, so switching to AVIF is the quickest way to get the smallest next-generation web images for the smallest possible website images and Core Web Vitals optimisation.
The converter decodes your PNG with your browser's own image engine and writes the AVIF with a small open-source AVIF encoder, so quality settings are applied precisely. Because everything happens on your own device, your images are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone else, which makes it safe for ID photos, Aadhaar or PAN scans and personal pictures.
What to expect: transparency is preserved because both PNG and AVIF support an alpha channel; AVIF is compressed, and the quality slider lets you trade file size against detail; camera metadata such as GPS location is removed because the image is re-encoded.
How to use the PNG to AVIF Converter
- Click "Choose files" or drag your PNG images onto the box. You can add several at once.
- Adjust the AVIF quality slider (85 is a good default) and, if you like, set a maximum width to resize.
- Press "Convert to AVIF". The conversion runs on your device and shows its progress.
- Download each AVIF file, or use "Download all (ZIP)" when you converted several.
- Open the result in Chrome or Edge to check it; your original PNG is never changed.
Tips & benchmarks
- AVIF encoding is slower than JPG; a quality of 50–65 already looks excellent and gives tiny files.
- PNG is lossless and AVIF is not, so keep your original PNG as the master copy and use the AVIF for sharing.
- Password-protected (encrypted) archives cannot be converted; extract them with the password first.
- Keep the file name simple (letters, numbers and hyphens) if you plan to upload the AVIF to a website or government portal.

What is a PNG file?
PNG was designed in 1996 as a patent-free replacement for GIF. It stores every pixel exactly, supports millions of colours and full alpha transparency, which is why screenshots, logos and interface graphics are usually PNG files.
What is a AVIF file?
AVIF is a royalty-free image format built on the AV1 video codec and released in 2019. It is often 30–50% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality and supports transparency and HDR, making it the most efficient image format browsers support today.
