Why convert PNG to AVIF?
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) — Lossless format created in 1996 to replace GIF. Ideal for images with transparency, screenshots, logos, and illustrations.
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) — Cutting-edge format based on the AV1 video codec. Up to 50% lighter than JPG at equivalent visual quality. The best quality/size ratio available today.
Converting PNG to AVIF typically reduces file size while preserving a visual quality close to the original. This conversion significantly cuts file size — ideal for the web.
