Next-Gen Formats.
Future-Proofed Now.

The web is evolving, and images shouldn't lag behind. AVIF is the cutting edge of image compression technology. At RiseConvert, we engineered our converter to harness the full power of the AV1 codec.

Our pipeline utilizes predictive coding optimization. Unlike traditional methods, our engine anticipates pixel patterns to apply compression that is virtually invisible to the human eye, even at high reduction ratios. We achieve typical size savings of 50-80% over standard PNGs.

And as always, we built this on our signature "Verify & Vanish" architecture. Your privacy isn't an afterthought; it's the foundation. Processed in isolation, deleted instantly.

Isolated Sandbox

Each conversion runs in its own detached memory space, preventing any data leak.

User-First Logic

No dark patterns. No hidden files. Just pure, honest utility engineering.

Why Convert PNG to AVIF?

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is an open, royalty-free image file format specification for storing images or image sequences compressed with AV1 in the HEIF file format. It is a newer, more efficient standard than WebP and JPEG.

Converting PNG to AVIF brings the future of image compression to your current projects. AVIF supports high dynamic range (HDR) and wide color gamut (WCG), offering richer colors and better compression ratios than WebP.

The Power of RiseConvert Conversion Engine

We don't just run a script. We optimize your assets.

  • Advanced Quantification: Our engine maps colors to the AV1 colorspace with incredible precision, ensuring that 'lossy' doesn't mean 'blurry'.
  • Smart Subsampling: We automatically adjust chroma subsampling rates based on the image content to maximize sharpness in text and edges.
  • Speed & Privacy: built on the same "Volatile-Memory" architecture, ensuring speed without compromising your data security.

Essential Terms

AV1

A highly efficient video coding format that AVIF is based on. It is royalty-free and open source.

HDR

High Dynamic Range. Allows for brighter whites and darker blacks, and a wider range of colors.

Lossy

Compression where some data is discarded to achieve smaller file sizes. AVIF does this very efficiently.

HEIF

High Efficiency Image File Format. A container format that AVIF uses.

Artifacts

Visual distortions that occur during compression. AVIF is known for having fewer artifacts than JPEG.

WCG

Wide Color Gamut. A wider range of colors than standard RGB, supported by AVIF.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Compatibility Checks

While growing fast, AVIF isn't supported on very old browsers. Make sure to use <picture> tags with fallbacks for web use.

Processing Time

AVIF compression is computationally intensive. It might take slightly longer to convert than other formats.

Best Practice

Use AVIF for the main hero images on your website to drastically reduce initial load weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Privacy-First Architecture

Your Data Never
Leaves Your Control.

Most converters trade your data for the service. We do the opposite. Our engine is designed on a "Volatile-Memory" principle—once your AVIF is downloaded, the session is cryptographically purged.

2-Hour Auto-Delete

Files are automatically and permanently wiped from our secure servers after 2 hours.

End-to-End Encryption

Using TLS 1.3 and military-grade SSL encryption, your files are protected from the moment they leave your device.
