Why convert PNG to AVIF?
PNG stores every pixel exactly, so photos and gradients make large files. AVIF keeps transparency and we save it at a high quality, so it looks the same. A PNG usually comes out more than 95% smaller as an AVIF; screenshots and text can come out larger.

PNG to AVIF: frequently asked questions
Is the AVIF lossy or lossless?
Lossy, at a high quality setting, so it looks the same as the PNG at normal viewing sizes.
Where can't I use an AVIF?
Shopify doesn't list it, Figma can't import it, and email clients don't handle it well. Keep a PNG or JPEG for those.
How much smaller will my AVIF be?
Usually more than 95% smaller than the PNG you upload, measured on real images converted with TinyPNG. Images that were already compressed save less.
Can I convert AVIF back to PNG?
Yes. Use the swap button, or go to AVIF to PNG. Detail removed by compression doesn't come back.
Is PNG lossless?
Yes. A PNG stores every pixel exactly, which is also why the files are large. Our compressor applies lossy compression by reducing the colours, so its result looks the same rather than being pixel-identical.
Is AVIF better than PNG?
For photos, PNG to AVIF is usually more than 95% smaller, and both keep transparency. JPEG and PNG still open everywhere, while AVIF fails in some shops, design tools, older Windows apps and email.
Which browsers support AVIF?
Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari (from 16.4), about 96% of browsers in use. Outside the browser, Windows Photos and Office need the free AV1 Video Extension, and Gmail turns AVIF into JPEG.
Does AVIF support transparency?
Yes, like PNG and WebP. Converting AVIF to JPG fills transparent areas with white, and we ask first.
How do I convert PNG to AVIF?
Add your PNGs above, choose AVIF and download the result. It works in your browser on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android, with nothing to install.
What is a PNG file?
A PNG is an image file in the Portable Network Graphics format. It keeps every pixel exactly and supports transparency, so screenshots, logos and cut-outs are usually saved as PNG. Most computers and phones save screenshots as PNG.
Is it free?
Yes. Web Free converts 3 images per session, up to 5 MB each, without an account. Web Pro takes bigger files, and Web Ultra converts as many as you like.
Are my images private?
Yes. We store your images encrypted, download links expire after 8 hours, and we delete your images from our servers within 48 hours.
What happens to the metadata?
We remove all metadata, such as camera details, GPS location and editing history, to keep files small. Want to keep metadata? Use the developer API: it can keep the copyright, creation date and location.
