PNG to AVIF Converter

PNG is the gold standard for lossless storage, but it is rarely efficient for web delivery. AVIF, the newest widely supported image format, can represent the same visual content at a fraction of the PNG file size — and it preserves the alpha channel, so transparent backgrounds and soft edges come through intact.

Enhydra RPO converts up to 200 PNGs to AVIF in a single batch. The result is a ZIP ready to deploy, or individual files for a direct workflow.

How Large Are the Savings vs. PNG?

For photographic PNG sources, AVIF's lossy mode typically produces files that are dramatically smaller — often 60–80% less than the PNG original — because modern lossy compression is fundamentally more efficient than lossless storage for photo content. For flat-color illustrations, icons, and diagrams, the difference is smaller but still real: lossless AVIF commonly undercuts PNG by 20–40%.

The exact savings depend on image complexity. After converting, spot-check a few outputs to confirm the quality meets your standard before deploying the full batch.

Transparency Is Fully Preserved

AVIF has a proper alpha channel — it is not a format that fills transparent areas with a background color the way JPG does. Transparent pixels, semi-transparent drop shadows, and soft-edge cutouts all convert from PNG to AVIF without any fill applied. This makes the PNG-to-AVIF path suitable for UI assets, logos, and product images that rely on a clear background for overlaying on colored surfaces.

Browser Compatibility for AVIF

AVIF is supported in Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, Edge (Chromium-based), and Safari 16+. Together these cover well above 90% of current global browser traffic. The notable gap is Safari 15 and below, still present on older iPhones and Macs. For sites where that audience matters, serving AVIF via the HTML <picture> element with a PNG or WebP fallback is the standard approach — capable browsers get AVIF, others fall back automatically. No JavaScript required.

FAQ

Does AVIF preserve the transparent background from my PNG?

Yes. AVIF supports full alpha transparency. Transparent and semi-transparent areas in the PNG source carry over to the AVIF output without any fill applied.

Is AVIF safe to use as the only format on my website?

For most audiences, yes — but Safari 15 and below does not support AVIF. Using a PNG or WebP fallback via the HTML picture element ensures older browsers still see the image.

Can I control the quality of the AVIF output?

Stack the Compress tool in the same run to dial quality from 1 to 100 or enter a kilobyte target. Both the format conversion and compression run in one pass, so there is no double-encoding penalty.

How many PNG files can I convert at once?

Up to 200 files per run, each up to 80 MB. Multiple outputs are packaged as a single ZIP for download.
