What Is PNG?

PNG is a raster image format that uses lossless compression, meaning it retains all original image data without quality loss. It supports transparency (alpha channel), making it a popular choice for graphics, icons, and images that need to be layered over other content.

  • Web graphics with transparency
  • Screenshots and interface elements
  • Logos and icons
  • Images requiring sharp detail

PNG files are typically larger than JPG files for photographic content because lossless compression is less efficient for complex, high-color images.

What Is AVIF?

AVIF is a next-generation image format based on the AV1 video codec. It offers significantly better compression than JPG and WebP, producing smaller files at equivalent quality. AVIF supports HDR, wide color gamut, and transparency.

  • Next-generation web images
  • Bandwidth-sensitive applications
  • High-quality photo delivery
  • Progressive image loading

AVIF is supported by most modern browsers but may not be compatible with older software. Converting to JPG or PNG ensures broader compatibility when needed.
