FAQ

Is the PNG file uploaded to a server?

No. File selection, decoding, conversion, and output file creation happen in the browser.

Does the AVIF output keep original metadata?

No. The output is redrawn through Canvas, so metadata such as EXIF is not preserved.

Can browser conversion fail?

Yes. An error is shown when the browser cannot encode the target format or when the image is too large.
