Up to 200 files at a time, 200 MB per file. These limits protect your browser from running out of memory, they are not commercial restrictions.
This image is being read and converted by your own browser. It is never uploaded.
How to do it
Step 1: Drop your PNG files onto the page, or click to choose them. You can also paste an image straight from the clipboard.
Step 2: AVIF is already selected as the output. Adjust the quality or size if you want to.
Step 3: Press Convert. The work happens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
Step 4: Download the AVIF file, or download everything as a ZIP if you converted several.
Why convert PNG to AVIF?
AVIF produces the smallest files of any format browsers widely support, and keeps transparency.
Encoding takes seconds rather than milliseconds, and the codec is downloaded once on first use. Both are stated plainly because the wait is real.
AVIF also brings its own advantage here: substantially smaller than JPEG and usually smaller than WebP at the same quality.
PNG compared with AVIF
The two formats are built for different jobs, and the differences decide whether this conversion is the right one. PNG and AVIF differ mainly in these respects.
| Aspect | PNG | AVIF |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossless. The file is compressed, but no image information is thrown away. | Lossy by default, with a lossless mode. |
| Transparency | Yes, with 256 levels of opacity per pixel. | Yes. |
| Software support | Universal. | All current browsers. Desktop and phone software support is still catching up. |
| Best suited to | Screenshots, logos, icons, diagrams and anything with text or flat colour. | Websites willing to trade encoding time for the smallest possible files. |
Questions
Are my PNG files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your files are read from your device and never sent to a server, because this site has no server that receives them.
Does converting to AVIF lose quality?
By default yes, a little: AVIF discards detail in exchange for a much smaller file, and the quality setting controls how much. At 80 or above the difference is rarely visible. AVIF also has a lossless mode, which keeps every pixel at the cost of a larger file.
Can I convert several PNG files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like, convert them together, and download the results individually or as a single ZIP. Progress is shown per file and overall.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no commercial limit and no account. There are technical limits, because a browser has finite memory: very large images are flagged before conversion, and the tool says plainly when a device may struggle rather than freezing.
Does it cost anything?
No. Every format and every feature is available to everyone. There is no paid tier, no watermark and no sign-up.
