    PNG files are often large. AVIF usually stores the same image far more compactly while keeping transparency - ideal for logos and graphics on fast websites.

    The PNG is decoded locally and encoded as AVIF with a self-hosted codec; the alpha channel is preserved. The quality slider controls the file size. Nothing is uploaded.

    AVIF pays off here especially with large photos or illustrations full of gradients: there the lossy method brings huge savings a lossless PNG can never reach. For a flat graphic with few colours - a simple logo or an icon - the difference is smaller, and a well-optimised PNG can keep up. AVIF also supports a wide colour gamut and high bit depths, which avoids visible banding in photos with subtle brightness transitions.

    In practice on the web you use this format to make a page's often heavyweight PNG screenshots and product images noticeably lighter without visitors noticing a difference. Always check the result with your own eyes, though: set the slider high enough that sharp labels or fine lines do not fray, and keep the lossless original in case you want to edit the subject again later.

    In 3 steps

    1. Drop your PNG file.
    2. Choose a quality (default 60).
    3. Download the AVIF.

    Limitations: AVIF is lossy (even at high quality); for pixel-exact lossless graphics, PNG remains better. Older programs may not open AVIF. Embedded metadata such as capture date, camera and GPS location does not survive the re-encode - only the image orientation is baked into the pixels beforehand.
