AVIF to PNG

This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels

Summary

PNG stores the AVIF decoding results in a lossless container, so there is no extra compression when the file is stored. Still, the details that were lost when AVIF was created cannot be recovered, and PNG size can actually be multiplied many times. This format is useful when you need to edit further, maintain transparency, or provide a file to an application that only accepts PNGs. For everyday web needs, JPG or WebP is usually more economical.

Key points

PNG is a lossless container, not a tool to improve AVIF quality
The PNG size of the resulting conversion is usually larger than the original AVIF
Alpha and color details are maintained during the decoding process
Suitable for editing streams and applications requiring PNG
PNG compression can be optimized without changing the pixels.
