About AVIF
AVIF is an image format based on the AV1 video codec, published by the Alliance for Open Media in 2019. It supports lossy and lossless compression, transparency, HDR and wide colour.
Modern websites, which use it for images smaller than WebP or JPEG at similar quality.
Encoding AVIF is slow, and older software and operating systems may not open it.
Convert AVIF to PNG online free, no account required — PNG is a lossless image format with transparency.
Change AVIF to PNG without losing quality — convert AVIF to PNG free in your browser.
Why won't my image editor or older browser open my AVIF file? The format is still young, and support in desktop software lags well behind the major browsers — a conversion to JPG or PNG keeps the image editable.
About PNG
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless image format created in 1996 as a free replacement for GIF. It supports full colour and an alpha channel for transparency.
Screenshots, logos, icons, diagrams and any image with text or sharp edges.
For photos a PNG is several times larger than a JPEG, and plain PNG has no animation (that is APNG).
Why convert an image to PNG? When sharp lines, text and transparency matter more than file size: screenshots and logos stay pixel-perfect.
