PNG vs AVIF: what changes

| Type | Raster (pixels) | Raster (pixels) |
| Compression | Lossless | Lossy or lossless |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |

PNG is a lossless raster format with a full alpha (transparency) channel, so it reproduces sharp edges, flat colour and text pixel-for-pixel with no compression artefacts.
AVIF is the newest mainstream raster format, built on the AV1 video codec. It does lossy and lossless compression with transparency and HDR, and is typically about 20% smaller than WebP — roughly half the size of an equivalent JPEG.
Transparency is preserved, since both PNG and AVIF support an alpha channel. AVIF is typically about 20% smaller than WebP and roughly half the size of an equivalent JPEG.
When to convert PNG to AVIF
Converting PNG to AVIF gives you the smallest modern file that still keeps transparency, ideal for graphics on a performance-focused site where every kilobyte of page weight counts.
Good to know: AVIF encoding is slower than other formats, and a few older browsers and apps still can't open it, so keep the PNG if you need a universal fallback.
