WebP & AVIF Converter

Pick a PNG or JPEG, set quality, press WebP or AVIF, then download. Encoding runs in this tab. The original file is not uploaded. AVIF needs a current browser; if this one cannot write it, the button stays off.

Transparent pixels stay transparent in WebP and AVIF. Camera data in the file (EXIF: date, GPS, orientation) is discarded.

What it is for?

WebP and AVIF are image formats built for the web. A photo that is 1.4 MB as JPEG is often 300–500 KB as WebP at quality 80, with little visible change. Use this when you already have a PNG or JPEG and want a smaller file to put on a site.

How it works

The picture is drawn onto a canvas, then the browser encodes it. Quality is 40–100; 80 is a solid default for photographs. “Longest side” resizes both width and height so the longer edge matches that number, in pixels. 0 means do not resize. If a side is over 4096 pixels, it is cut down to 4096 so the tab does not run out of memory.

Limits

  • Some browsers cannot write AVIF. If this one cannot, the AVIF button is disabled.
  • An animated GIF becomes a single still frame.
  • Embedded camera data (EXIF) is dropped, including rotation tags. A photo saved sideways may stay sideways.
  • One file at a time. There is no folder upload.

It stays in the browser

The file is not uploaded. If you only need the file as a Base64 string, use the Base64 tool.
