## Frequently asked questions

### What is the advantage of AVIF over PNG?

AVIF offers significantly better compression ratios than PNG, resulting in much smaller file sizes without sacrificing image quality.

### Can I adjust the output quality?

Yes, you can set the quality parameter between 0 and 100 to find the perfect balance for your specific needs.

### What does the encoding speed setting do?

The encoding speed (0-9) allows you to trade off between processing time and compression efficiency; lower values are generally faster.

### Is there a limit to the file size I can upload?

Yes, the tool supports individual PNG files up to 10MB.

### Is AVIF supported by all browsers?

Most modern web browsers support AVIF, though it is always recommended to check compatibility if you are targeting legacy systems.
