FAQ - PNG to AVIF Conversion

What is AVIF format? +

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern image format based on the AV1 video codec. It offers superior compression and quality compared to traditional formats like PNG, and even outperforms WebP in many cases. AVIF supports full alpha transparency just like PNG, while maintaining significantly smaller file sizes.

Why convert PNG to AVIF? +

AVIF files are significantly smaller than PNGs of similar visual quality - often 50-90% smaller. This means faster website loading times, reduced bandwidth usage, and improved SEO rankings through better page speed scores. AVIF also supports alpha transparency like PNG and offers better quality gradients and color preservation at much smaller file sizes.

Does AVIF support transparency like PNG? +

Yes, AVIF fully supports alpha channel transparency just like PNG. This makes it an excellent replacement for PNG files, particularly for logos, icons, and graphics with transparency. Our converter preserves all transparency information when converting from PNG to AVIF format.

Which browsers support AVIF? +

AVIF is supported in Chrome (version 85+), Firefox (version 86+), and Edge (version 90+). Safari has implemented support in newer versions. For browsers that don't support AVIF, you can use the HTML picture element to provide fallback formats like PNG. The browser support continues to grow as AVIF becomes more established.

How do I use the quality slider? +

The quality slider lets you control the compression level of your AVIF images. Higher values (75-100%) maintain better visual quality but result in larger files. Lower values (30-60%) produce significantly smaller files but may introduce some visual artifacts. For most purposes, the default 75% setting provides an excellent balance between quality and file size.

Is there a limit to how many files I can convert? +

Yes, you can convert up to 20 PNG files at once, with a maximum size of 10MB per file. This limit helps ensure fast processing times and reliable service for all users.

Is my data secure? +

Yes. We don't store your images permanently. They are automatically deleted after 24 hours, and we never access or view your content. The conversion process happens on our secure servers, and your original files are never shared with third parties.

How do I use AVIF images on my website? +

For websites, we recommend using the HTML picture element with fallbacks for browsers that don't support AVIF yet. Here's a basic example:

<picture>
  <source srcset="image.avif" type="image/avif">
  <img src="image.png" alt="Description">
</picture>

This code will use the AVIF version in supporting browsers and fall back to the original PNG in browsers that don't support AVIF.
