Convert PNG to AVIF

AVIF is the smallest option available right now, though encoding is slower. Everything happens locally: PNG files are decoded by your browser and written back out as AVIF without ever touching a server.

What is PNG?

The lossless workhorse of the web. Universally supported, excellent for graphics, screenshots and anything with transparency.

Why convert PNG to AVIF?

AVIF is the smallest option available right now, though encoding is slower.

PNG is lossless but not always small. Converting to WebP or AVIF often cuts the file size by half or more at identical visual quality.

How this converter handles PNG

Decoding is handled by your browser's own PNG decoder, which is fast and battle-tested.

Why the conversion happens on your device

This page is a static file. There is no upload endpoint, no queue and no server-side conversion step — the work is done by JavaScript running in your own browser. That has three practical consequences:

Frequently asked questions

Is this really free?
Yes, with no account, no watermark and no per-file limit. There is no server cost to recover because no server is involved.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The page has no backend to upload to. You can verify this in your browser's developer tools, or by loading the page and disconnecting from the internet before converting.
Does converting PNG to AVIF lose quality?
AVIF is a lossy format, so there is some loss — it is a trade-off you make deliberately in exchange for a much smaller file. Use the quality slider to control it; 90% and above is usually indistinguishable for photographic content.
Can I convert many files at once?
Yes — drop a batch and they are processed one after another.
What if my browser cannot decode PNG?
For formats browsers do not support natively (TGA, QOI, PPM/PGM/PBM, farbfeld, BMP, ICO) FormatAtlas ships its own decoder, so support does not depend on your browser version.
