Are my PNG files uploaded anywhere?

No. This conversion runs entirely inside your browser, so the file never leaves your device. You can confirm it yourself: open the network tab of your browser's developer tools and watch that nothing is sent while the file converts.

AVIF is a compressed format, so some data is discarded. At the default setting the difference is not visible; you can raise the quality setting if you need to be certain.

Do I need to install anything to open AVIF files?
