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.

OriginalCompressedPNG vs AVIF

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?
Many e-commerce platforms and design tools don't accept it, and email clients don't handle it well. For those, compress the PNG or convert it to JPG.
How much smaller will my AVIF be?
Usually more than 95% smaller than the PNG you upload, measured on real images converted with TinyPNG. How much depends on the image: photos, flat graphics and screenshots each shrink differently, and 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. JPG and PNG still open everywhere, while AVIF fails in some e-commerce platforms, 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 JPG.
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. This PNG to AVIF converter 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 is lossless, so it keeps every pixel exactly, and it supports transparency. Most computers and phones save screenshots as PNG, and logos and cut-outs usually are too. Every browser, app and email client opens it.
Is it free?
Yes. Web Free converts 3 images per session, up to 5 MB each, without an account. Once you log in, Web Pro converts 3 images per session, up to 75 MB each, and Web Ultra converts as many as you like, up to 150 MB each. On every plan, an image can have up to 256 megapixels.
Are my images private?
Yes. We store your images encrypted, download links expire after 8 hours, and we delete them automatically after 24 hours.
Does it remove EXIF, XMP and other metadata?
Yes. To keep files small we remove all metadata: EXIF data such as camera details and GPS location, and XMP data such as copyright and editing history. Colour profiles are converted to sRGB, the standard for screens and the web. The developer API can keep the copyright, creation date and location.
