Format comparison
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern image format that targets high compression efficiency while preserving quality. Depending on the environment, encoding/decoding can feel heavier than older formats.
Pros
- ✓ Strong compression efficiency
- ✓ Can support HDR / wide color in supported pipelines
- ✓ Transparency support
Cons
- ✗ Slow encoding
- ✗ Limited browser support
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) uses lossless compression and supports transparency. Ideal for logos and screenshots.
Pros
- ✓ Lossless compression
- ✓ Alpha transparency
- ✓ Great for sharp edges
Cons
- ✗ Larger file sizes
- ✗ Inefficient for photos
When to Convert AVIF to PNG
Convert AVIF to PNG for easier editing and sharing. It’s also useful when you want a lossless workflow.

AVIF Technical Specifications
Technical details
AVIF is a modern image format often used for web optimization. It can be very efficient for photos, but performance and support vary across browsers and apps.
Good for
- Web delivery: Smaller files on supported platforms- Photos: Keeping quality while reducing size
Notes
- Performance: Encoding/decoding can feel heavier (split large batches when needed)- Compatibility: Not every environment can open AVIF — keep WebP/JPEG fallbacks if required

PNG Technical Specifications
Technical details
PNG is a lossless raster format that preserves pixel data exactly. It supports alpha transparency, which makes it a common choice for logos and UI assets.
Good for
- Logos/icons: Assets that need transparency- Screenshots: Crisp text and line art
Notes
- Photos: Files can be large (WebP/JPEG may be a better fit)- Quality setting: Since PNG is lossless, “quality” controls may have little or no effect

How to Use
Add files
Drop or click to select your AVIF files (multiple supported)
Confirm output
Default is PNG. You can change to another supported output format if needed.
Adjust options
Set quality, resize, and metadata options only if you need them.
Convert & download
Download each file, or download everything as a ZIP for batch outputs.
FAQ
What is AVIF used for?
AVIF is a next-gen format pushed by Netflix and Google for efficient web delivery. Browser support is growing, but editing software support is still limited.
Does converting to PNG change quality?
No additional quality loss occurs. However, data already lost during AVIF lossy compression can't be recovered in PNG.
Is AVIF to PNG conversion slow?
AVIF decoding is heavier than JPEG/PNG, so large files may take a few seconds. For many files, process in smaller batches.
Can I keep Exif metadata?
When "Keep Exif/Metadata" is ON, we try to carry over things like capture time, camera info, and GPS where possible. Some tags may be dropped depending on the input, output format, and browser environment. Turn it OFF if you want to remove location data before sharing.
Can I convert multiple files at once?
Yes. You can select multiple files, convert them in one run, and download each file individually. For multiple outputs, you can also download everything as a ZIP. For very large batches, splitting into smaller runs is more stable.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion runs locally in your browser, and your images are not sent to an external server.
Why do colors sometimes shift after conversion?
Differences in decoding/encoding and color handling can cause small shifts. For critical images, compare the output against the original.
When to use lossless vs lossy?
Use lossless formats (e.g., PNG) for editing intermediates, and lossy formats (JPEG/WebP/AVIF) for distribution outputs. Choose based on your quality tolerance.
