FAQ
Common questions before you run the conversion or utility.
Does AVIF replace PNG in every workflow?
No. PNG is still easier for editing, asset handoff, and conservative compatibility requirements.
What should I check after converting PNG to AVIF?
Check transparency edges, gradients, small text, and overall size so you know the tradeoff is acceptable.
Why not just compress the PNG more?
PNG remains lossless and can stay bulky. A modern format change often saves more space than another PNG compression pass.
Should I keep the original PNG?
Yes. The PNG is still valuable as a master or fallback asset.
