PNG to AVIF
PNG supports transparency but can be heavy. AVIF keeps the alpha channel and compresses images more efficiently, which makes it a good choice for logos, icons and graphics on a modern website.
The image is converted in your browser — the file is not uploaded.

More about PNG to AVIF
Why convert PNG to AVIF
AVIF combines efficient compression with transparency support. For logos, icons and illustrations, it reduces page weight without giving up a transparent background.
How it works
The browser decodes the PNG and tries to save it as AVIF. If AVIF encoding is not available, the server processes the file with sharp. Server files are deleted after download or within an hour.
What to know
Modern browsers support AVIF, but older applications may not open it. For the web, serve AVIF with a PNG or WebP fallback, and keep the original PNG for editing.
Questions and answers
Is transparency preserved?
Yes. AVIF supports an alpha channel, so transparent areas from the PNG stay transparent.
Is AVIF smaller than PNG?
Usually yes, especially for graphics with large flat areas. The exact size depends on the image and compression quality.
Where is the file processed?
The browser tries to encode AVIF locally. If AVIF encoding is unavailable, the file is processed on the server and deleted automatically.
Can I use AVIF in older apps?
No, AVIF support is not universal. For older editors, keep the PNG or convert AVIF to PNG.
