How to convert PNG to AVIF?
Select a PNG image, run the conversion, and download the generated AVIF file. All processing for this tool takes place directly in your browser.
The conversion can be useful when you want to use a modern image format while preserving features such as transparency when they are present in the original PNG file.
PNG vs. AVIF: what is the difference?
PNG uses lossless compression and is widely used for logos, interfaces, screenshots, and images that need to preserve transparency.
AVIF uses modern compression techniques and can also represent images with transparency. The final file size depends on the characteristics of the image and the encoding process.
Is PNG transparency preserved?
The conversion implemented by Converthy preserves the transparency channel when converting PNG to AVIF.
Because the image is re-encoded, small differences from the original file values may occur. For this reason, it is recommended to inspect the result before replacing an important file.
Local and private conversion
The PNG file is processed directly in your browser and does not need to be uploaded to Converthy servers for this conversion.
The resulting AVIF is created locally and made available for download on your device.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting PNG to AVIF preserve transparency?
With this tool, yes. The PNG transparency channel is preserved when generating the AVIF file.
Is AVIF always smaller than PNG?
No. AVIF can generate smaller files in many cases, but this depends on the image content and the encoding process used.
Will the AVIF be exactly identical to the PNG pixel by pixel?
Not necessarily. The image is re-encoded during conversion and may contain small differences compared with the original PNG.
Does the PNG need to be uploaded to a server?
No. With this tool, the conversion is performed locally in your browser.
