Does converting to AVIF change how the picture looks?

No. The pixels are recompressed, not edited. The image keeps its width, height, and colors. You mostly notice the smaller file size.

Will my GPS location and camera details be gone?

Yes. This conversion strips hidden metadata such as EXIF, GPS, and embedded text before encoding the AVIF file.

Can I open AVIF files everywhere?

Modern browsers, phones, and image editors support AVIF. Older software may need a recent update or an AVIF plugin.

Convert PNG to AVIF and strip hidden metadata online

Videos and photos hide more than what you see. A PNG can carry EXIF, GPS coordinates, and other tags — and it is often much bigger than it needs to be. This page converts a PNG to AVIF and removes the hidden metadata at the same time, so you can share a smaller, cleaner file.

How to convert and strip

Upload a PNG up to 50 MB.
Press Convert file.
Download the AVIF output and use it anywhere.

What you get

A single .avif file with the same picture:

Same width, height, and colors
Hidden tags (EXIF, GPS, comments) removed
Usually a smaller file than the PNG

When this helps

Before attaching a screenshot to an email
Before uploading a design asset to a website
Any time you want to share an image without its hidden info

This tool does not blur faces, resize images, or prove that pixels are private. It only converts the format and removes the metadata.
