Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert PBM to AVIF?

AVIF (AV1-based) typically produces 30–50% smaller files than PBM with better visual quality. Supported in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari.

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using canvas and JavaScript image codecs. Nothing is uploaded to a server.

What quality setting should I use?

92% is a reasonable default. Drop to 80–85% for smaller files; raise to 100% for archival.

Are there any size limits?

Yes. Images larger than 4096×4096 pixels are rejected to keep encoding responsive in the browser.
