Does converting PNG to AVIF keep transparency?

Yes. Both PNG and AVIF store a full alpha channel, and FileMorf preserves it exactly — anti-aliased edges, soft shadows, and semi-transparent pixels all survive the conversion.

Will converting PNG to AVIF lose quality?

AVIF uses lossy compression, so some pixel data is discarded — that is exactly where the size savings come from. At the default quality setting the loss is invisible for most images. Keep the PNG original as your master copy and re-export whenever you need a different balance of size and quality.

Do I need a particular browser to convert to AVIF?

Yes — the encoding runs in your browser, and in-browser AVIF encoding is currently available in Chromium-based browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Opera. If your browser cannot encode AVIF, FileMorf reports an error instead of silently producing a different format. The finished files display in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari 16 or later.

How much smaller will the AVIF file be?

Graphics often shrink dramatically, photos even more — AVIF's AV1-based compression is the most efficient in mainstream use.

Questions about PNG and AVIF.

Check the format behavior, limitations, and follow-up options before processing a real file.

AVIF typically produces the smallest files of any widely supported web format — often well below an equivalent WebP — and it preserves alpha transparency. If you are optimizing Core Web Vitals or serving image-heavy pages, AVIF is the current end of the compression road.
