How to use this tool

  1. Upload your PNG images

    Drop PNG files onto the converter. Transparent PNGs are fully supported — AVIF preserves the alpha channel in the output.

  2. Set your quality level

    AVIF is so efficient that 70% quality (our default) looks nearly identical to lossless PNG at a fraction of the size. Use 80–90% for critical images; go lower (50–65%) for aggressive compression where slight artefacts are acceptable.

  3. Click Convert

    The browser encodes each PNG as AVIF using the AV1 codec via WebAssembly. AVIF encoding is slow by design — allow 5–20 seconds per image depending on resolution and your device's CPU.

  4. Use AVIF for web delivery

    AVIF files can be served directly in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. For older browser support, use the <picture> element with PNG or WebP as fallbacks.
