Table of Contents
When you have a folder of PNG images that all need to be converted to AVIF, doing them one at a time is slow and tedious. The batch PNG to AVIF converter on WildandFreeTools handles the whole folder at once — drop in as many PNGs as you need, set the quality level once, and download them all as a ZIP.
Everything runs in your browser. Your images never leave your device, which matters for product mockups, client assets, or any content you'd rather not send through a cloud server.
How Batch PNG to AVIF Conversion Works
The batch workflow is straightforward:
- Select your files — click the upload area and select multiple PNGs using Ctrl+Click (Windows) or Cmd+Click (Mac), or drag a selection of files from a folder directly onto the tool.
- Set quality once — the quality slider applies to every file in the batch. Default is 50, which works well for most images. Move it up if you need higher fidelity, down if you want maximum compression.
- Conversion happens automatically — each file is processed one after another using your device's resources. The tool shows progress as files complete.
- Download all — once complete, click Download All to get a single ZIP file containing every converted AVIF. File names are preserved — your PNG named "product-hero.png" becomes "product-hero.avif".
A batch of 20 average-sized PNGs typically processes in 30–60 seconds on a modern laptop.
When Batch PNG to AVIF Conversion Is Most Useful
Batch conversion saves the most time when you have:
- Product image libraries — an ecommerce store with dozens of product photos all saved as PNG. Batch converting to AVIF reduces storage and speeds up product pages.
- Blog image collections — export from a design tool often produces many PNG files. Batch converting them before uploading to WordPress or another CMS saves substantial bandwidth.
- Game or app assets — sprite sheets, UI elements, and icon sets saved as PNG are good candidates for AVIF conversion if the output target supports it.
- Screenshot collections — documentation screenshots, tutorial images, or UI mockups that are all in PNG format.
- Design project exports — when a client hands off a folder of PNG exports that need to be web-ready.
The key benefit isn't just speed — it's consistency. All files in the batch get the same quality setting, so the output is predictable across the whole set.

AVIF supports full alpha channel transparency. If some files in your batch have transparent backgrounds and others don't, the converter handles both correctly:
- PNGs with transparent backgrounds produce AVIFs with intact transparency.
- PNGs with solid backgrounds produce AVIFs with solid backgrounds.
- No manual flag or transparency mode needs to be set — it's automatic.
This matters for mixed batches — a folder of product images that includes both cutout (transparent) and lifestyle (opaque) photos can all be processed together without worrying about transparency being lost on some files.
ZIP Output: File Naming and Organization
When you click Download All, you receive a ZIP file containing all your converted AVIFs. A few things to note:
- File names — the base name is preserved. "banner-hero.png" becomes "banner-hero.avif".
- Folder structure — files in the ZIP are at the root level. If you converted PNGs from different subfolders, they'll all be at the same level in the ZIP.
- No file limit — there's no hard limit on how many files you can process in one batch. Practical limits depend on your device's available memory.
After downloading the ZIP, extract it into your project folder and replace or supplement the original PNG files with the AVIF versions.

Open Free PNG to AVIF ConverterFrequently Asked Questions
How many PNG files can I convert in one batch?
There is no hard file limit. The tool processes files using your browser and device memory. Batches of 50–100 average-sized PNGs typically run without issue on modern devices. Very large batches (500+ files) may be slow or require splitting into smaller groups.
Can I set different quality levels for different files in the batch?
No — the quality slider applies to all files in the batch. If you need different quality settings for specific files, process them in separate batches.
Will batch conversion work on my phone?
Yes. The tool runs in mobile browsers (Chrome on Android, Safari on iOS). Selecting multiple files on mobile may require using the Files app or photo picker depending on your OS version.
Are my files uploaded to a server during batch processing?
No. All conversion happens in your browser using your device's resources. Your PNG files never leave your device, and no data is sent to any server.
