PNG, which stands for Portable Network Graphics, is a raster graphics file format that was created as an improved, non-patented replacement for GIF. It was first developed in the mid-1990s as a response to the limitations of the GIF format, primarily its color palette restrictions and the patent issues surrounding the compression technique GIF used at the time.
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a relatively new image format that was developed as part of the AV1 open video codec by the Alliance for Open Media. Introduced to the public around 2019, AVIF offers a highly efficient compression method that is particularly effective for high-quality images on the internet. It is designed to be a successor to JPEG, and it competes with other modern formats like WebP.
