Why you keep running into AVIF files
AVIF is the newest web image format - sites use it because it's tiny, and browsers display it happily. The trouble starts when you save one: image editors, Office documents, older viewers and plenty of upload forms still don't accept AVIF. PNG is the universal fallback.
Squish decodes the AVIF and re-saves the exact pixels as a lossless PNG - transparency included, if the image has it. Drop in as many files as you like; each converts on arrival and Download all bundles them into a zip.
Common questions
- Is the conversion lossless?
- PNG itself is lossless, so you get a pixel-perfect copy of the decoded AVIF. Expect the PNG to be several times larger on disk - that's the price of universal compatibility. If size matters, convert to JPG or WebP instead using the format bar.
- Is transparency preserved?
- Yes - AVIF alpha channels carry straight over to PNG. (Convert to JPG and the transparency is flattened onto white, since JPG doesn't support it - Squish tells you when that happens.)
- Can I go the other way - PNG to AVIF?
- Yes. Drop in PNGs and pick AVIF as the output format - or WebP, which is nearly as small with even wider support. See the WebP compressor for that workflow.
- What happens to my files?
- Processed in memory, never stored. Nothing sticks around after your download.
