Is my PNG image uploaded to any server?

No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser using local processing. Your image never leaves your device and is never sent to Carbide or any third party.

Will AVIF keep the transparent background from my PNG?

Yes. AVIF supports alpha transparency, so any transparent areas in your original PNG are preserved in the converted file.

How much smaller will the AVIF file be compared to my PNG?

Results vary by image content, but AVIF files are typically 50–70% smaller than equivalent PNGs at similar visual quality, making them ideal for web use.

Do all browsers support AVIF files?

AVIF is supported in Chrome, Firefox, Safari 16+, and Edge. If you need broader compatibility, consider using WebP instead.

What it does

PNG to AVIF converts your PNG images to the AVIF format right inside your browser — no upload, no server, no account needed. AVIF is a next-generation image format that typically shrinks files by 50–70% compared to PNG while keeping sharp detail and supporting transparency. That means faster-loading pages and less storage used, without a visible quality drop. Drop in a PNG, pick your quality level, and download the AVIF in seconds. Everything runs locally on your device using your browser's built-in codec, so your images never leave your machine. Completely free, fully offline-capable, and private by design — Carbide never sees your files.
