PNG vs AVIF - Format Comparison

PNG

A lossless format with excellent transparency support. Great for graphics, logos, and screenshots, but produces larger files - especially for photos. You can also convert PNG to other formats like WebP, JPG, or ICO.

AVIF

A next-generation format based on the AV1 codec with superior compression - typically 50-90% smaller than PNG. Supports transparency, HDR, and wide color gamut. If you need the reverse conversion, try our AVIF to PNG converter.

Quality Settings Explained

90-100%

Near-lossless quality. Best for archival, professional work, or images that will be edited further. Larger files but virtually indistinguishable from the original. Ideal for image optimization workflows.

70-85%

Excellent balance of quality and file size. Recommended for most web use. Imperceptible quality loss for most images while achieving significant compression.

50-65%

Good compression with visible but acceptable quality reduction. Suitable for thumbnails, previews, or when bandwidth is limited. You can also try PNG to WebP for broad browser support.

This makes AVIF excellent for logos, icons, and graphics with transparent backgrounds. For icon-specific conversions, try our PNG to ICO converter.
