PNG to AVIF — Next-Generation Format for Ultra-Small Files
Convert PNG to AVIF — the newest web image format that can be 50% smaller than JPG and much smaller than WebP at the same visual quality. Ideal for cutting-edge websites focused on speed.
The smallest modern format
AVIF uses the AV1 video codec's intra-frame compression, which is dramatically more efficient than JPEG or WebP. Savings of 30-50% over WebP are common.
Support is growing
Chrome, Firefox, Safari 16.4+ and Edge all support AVIF. Older browsers need a fallback — use <picture> with WebP or JPG fallback in your HTML.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is AVIF ready for production?
For modern browsers, yes. Provide a fallback (via <picture>) for the small fraction on old browsers.
Does encoding take longer?
Yes — AVIF encoding is CPU-intensive. Expect a few seconds per image in the browser.
Can email clients render AVIF?
Most cannot yet. For email, stick with JPG or PNG.
