About PNG to AVIF Conversion

This tool converts PNG images to AVIF format - the next-generation image format using WebAssembly. AVIF provides the highest compression ratio (50-90% smaller than PNG) while maintaining excellent quality. Based on Google Squoosh technology. All processing happens locally in your browser for maximum privacy and security.

Features:

  • • Upload up to 100 PNG images at once
  • • Maximum 100 MB per file
  • AVIF encoder based on Google Squoosh
  • 50-90% smaller than PNG files
  • 20-30% smaller than WebP files
  • • Adjustable quality (0-100, default 75)
  • • Encoding speed control (0-10)
  • • Full transparency support
  • • Thumbnail preview for each image
  • • Individual or batch download (ZIP)
  • • Real-time conversion statistics
  • • Conversion time tracking

AVIF Advantages:

  • 50-90% smaller than PNG with excellent quality
  • 20-30% smaller than WebP at same quality
  • • Highest compression efficiency of any format
  • • Full support for transparency (alpha channel)
  • • Supports HDR and wide color gamut
  • • Next-generation format for modern web
  • • Based on AV1 video codec
  • • Optimal for web performance and page speed

Quality Guidelines:

  • 85-95: Excellent quality, near-lossless
  • 75-85: Very good quality, recommended for most use cases (default: 75)
  • 60-75: Good quality, smaller files
  • Below 60: Lower quality, smallest files
  • • AVIF at quality 75 looks better than JPEG at quality 85

Transparency Support:

  • • AVIF fully supports PNG-style transparency
  • • Alpha channel preserved perfectly
  • • Automatic detection of transparent pixels
  • • Smaller than PNG with transparency
  • • No quality loss for transparent regions

Encoding Speed Guide:

  • 0-2 (Fast): Quick conversion, good quality
  • 3-5 (Balanced): Good balance (recommended, default 4)
  • 6-8 (High Quality): Better compression, slower
  • 9-10 (Maximum): Best compression, significantly slower
  • • Higher values = slower conversion but smaller files

Browser Support:

  • • Chrome 85+ (2020)
  • • Firefox 93+ (2021)
  • • Safari 16+ (2022)
  • • Edge 85+ (2020)
  • • Mobile: Chrome for Android, Safari for iOS 16+
  • • Over 85% of global browsers support AVIF

When to Use AVIF:

  • • Modern websites targeting latest browsers
  • • High-quality images needing smallest file size
  • • Web performance optimization
  • • Mobile-first applications
  • • Images with transparency
  • • Progressive web apps (PWAs)

Technical Details:

  • • Uses jSquash library based on Google Squoosh
  • • Single-thread WASM build for Next.js compatibility
  • • WASM encoder ~1.4MB, cached after first load
  • • High-quality PNG decoder from Rust PNG crate
  • • AV1 Image File Format (based on AV1 video codec)
  • • All processing happens client-side (no server upload)

Privacy: All image conversion happens in your browser using WebAssembly (Google Squoosh technology). Your images are never uploaded to any server. WASM modules (~2MB) are downloaded once and cached. Everything is processed locally for maximum security and privacy.

Note: AVIF encoding is more CPU-intensive than WebP or JPEG. Higher speed settings (6-10) can significantly increase conversion time. For large batches, consider using speed 3-5 for good balance between speed and compression.
