PNG

Portable Network Graphics

Lossless compression with a real alpha channel, created as a free replacement for GIF. Perfect for logos, screenshots and interface art with sharp edges; wasteful for photographs, where JPEG or WebP will be a fraction of the size.

QOI

Quite OK Image Format

A lossless format whose entire specification fits on one page, encoding and decoding many times faster than PNG for a small size penalty. A favourite in game engines and hobby projects.

FAQ

Questions about converting PNG to QOI

Is this PNG to QOI converter free?

Yes. Converting PNG to QOI here is free, with no account, no watermark and no daily quota. The work runs on your own device, so there is no server cost to pass on to you.

Is my PNG file uploaded anywhere?

For browser-based pairs, your file is read locally and converted by Squoosh in this tab. No file payload is uploaded; you may still see analytics and engine downloads in network logs.

Is there a file-size limit for PNG to QOI?

There is no imposed upload cap when it runs in-browser, but each conversion still depends on your device and browser memory. Large videos are the first practical limit, then memory-heavy documents or images.

Does converting PNG to QOI lose quality?

No. QOI stores its data losslessly, so everything in your PNG file is preserved exactly.

Can I convert several PNG files to QOI at once?

Yes. Drop in several files and each gets its own row; they are processed one after another on your device. You can download them one by one or as one ZIP.

Does PNG to QOI work on a phone, Mac or Chromebook?

Most modern browsers on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android and iOS work. Very large videos are often more reliable on desktop or a browser with more memory.

Why do some conversions take longer on first run?

The conversion engine has to download first. Small codec bundles are fast, while ffmpeg is commonly 12–30 MB; later conversions of similar type use the cached engine.

I converted a file and the output is blank or unusable. What should I check?

Start over with default settings, then change one option at a time (quality, bitrate, page size, or codec) to isolate what changed behavior. If it keeps failing, retry with a smaller file and confirm the source format matches the pair.
