PNG is a short form for Portable Network Graphics. It is used for lossless image compression, which minimizes the loss of image data during compression. It supports a wide range of colors such as grayscale, indexed color, and true color which are crucial in high-quality digital image display. Due to its accessibility across all the image editing software and web browsers, PNG is one of the most popular formats with a wide range of applications.
An AVIF file is a raster graphics royalty-free and open-source file format that uses the AV1 video codec. The lossless and lossy compression techniques apply the video codec encoding to create small, high-resolution, and high-quality images. The compressed AVIF images save bandwidth and increase website responsiveness or decrease webpage loading time while sharing qualities similar to the original image. The file format has inherent features that support transparency (alpha channel) and animation. AVIF images are visually impressive and comparatively smaller than traditional file formats such as WEBP, PNG, and PNG.
To convert files from PNG to AVIF use an online tool that supports mass conversion, like Convertjack. Such a tool transforms single or bulk images at once to save time.
Go to Choose File, and select any PNG photos you want to convert. If you want to do a bulk conversion, click Choose File and select all the PNG pics you want to convert.
After uploading the PNG image, click the “Select Format” button at the center. A drop-down menu will pop up; select AVIF.
On the bottom right corner of the display, click the “Convert” button. Your converted AVIF file will be ready for download.
Click the “Download” button on the right side of the AVIF file, and the converted image will be downloaded. If you convert multiple files, each file will have a “Download all” button in front of it, and you can click each button to download all the converted files.
To save a PNG file as a AVIF file, you first convert it to AVIF and then download it.
Instead of converting a file manually from PNG to AVIF, use an online tool like Convertjack to convert the file without losing any details.
After converting the PNG file, Download the AVIF file and save it in the default folder for all your downloads on the desktop or mobile.
One of the advantages of AVIF is that it is compatible with a wide range of web browsers and offers superior compression, resulting in smaller file sizes while maintaining high image quality. AVIF supports features such as high dynamic range (HDR) and transparency, which PNG also supports. However, the disadvantage of PNG is that it has significantly larger file sizes due to PNG's lossless compression method. Converting from PNG to AVIF can reduce file size and improve website loading times for most graphics. Check this PNG to AVIF comparison to determine which image format best suits your intended use.
