Need help?PNG to DivX Converter
This tool turns a still PNG image into a short DivX video clip: the picture is held on screen for a duration you choose, with no motion and no audio. DivX is a legacy MPEG-4 Part 2 (ASP) codec built for DivX-certified DVD players, car stereos, and set-top boxes of the 2000s, so the usual reason to make one is to get a static image — a title card, a logo, a photo slideshow frame — onto an old device that reads DivX-in-AVI but won't open a PNG. Because DivX video is opaque, any transparent areas in the PNG are flattened onto a solid background color during conversion.
PNG Format at a Glance
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Standard | ISO/IEC 15948; W3C Recommendation |
| Type | Raster still image |
| Compression | Lossless (DEFLATE) |
| Alpha channel | Yes — full 8-bit transparency |
| Color depth | Up to 16-bit per channel; indexed, grayscale, or truecolor |
| Motion / audio | None — single frame |
| Best for | Logos, screenshots, line art, images needing transparency |
DivX Format at a Glance
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Codec | DivX — MPEG-4 Part 2, Advanced Simple Profile (ASP) |
| Container | AVI (the .divx extension is the DivX Media Format, an AVI extension) |
| First released | Original codec 1998; DivX 4.0 in July 2001 |
| Open-source sibling | XviD — a separate, MPEG-4 ASP-compliant encoder |
| Alpha channel | None — video is fully opaque |
| Audio | Optional (this tool produces a silent clip from a still) |
| Best for | Playback on DivX-certified DVD players, Blu-ray players, car stereos and TVs |
| Largely superseded by | H.264 (MP4) and HEVC for modern devices |
How to Convert PNG to DivX
- Upload Your PNG File: Drag and drop your image onto the page, or click "+ Add Files" to browse. You can queue several PNGs at once.
- Set Image Duration: Choose how long the still is held — the dropdown ranges from a single frame up to 10 seconds per frame (the default is 5 seconds per frame).
- Set Background Color: Pick the color that fills any transparent pixels when they are flattened (Black is the default). Choose a Quality Preset under File Compression and a target resolution under Video resolution if needed.
- Convert and Download: Click Convert and save your DivX clip. No sign-up, no watermark. Files are uploaded over an encrypted connection, processed on our servers, and deleted automatically a few hours after conversion — never shared or made public.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my transparent PNG get a solid background in the DivX file?
DivX video is built on MPEG-4 Part 2, which has no alpha channel — every frame is fully opaque. There is nowhere in the stream to store transparency, so the converter composites your transparent pixels onto a single flat color. That is why the Background Color option exists: set it to match where the clip will sit (black for a TV, white for a slide) before converting.
What resolution should I use for a DivX-certified DVD player?
Keep it modest. The classic DivX Home Theater profile tops out at 720x576 (PAL) or 720x480 (NTSC), the same frame sizes a standard DVD uses, and many older standalone players reject DivX-in-AVI files above roughly standard-definition. Higher DivX profiles allow 720p and 1080p, but only newer certified hardware accepts them — so if the target is an older set-top box, choose a 480p or 576p preset under Video resolution.
Is the output a .divx file or an .avi file?
The codec is DivX (MPEG-4 ASP) and the underlying container is AVI. The .divx extension is the DivX Media Format, which is an extension of the AVI file format introduced in DivX 6 for backward compatibility with AVI players. Players that recognize DivX generally accept the clip whether the wrapper is labeled .divx or .avi.
Will the DivX clip have any sound?
No. A PNG is a silent still image, so the converted clip contains video only. This tool produces a static, no-audio DivX file; if you need a soundtrack you would have to mux audio in separately afterward.
Should I still use DivX, or convert PNG to MP4 instead?
Use DivX only when you are targeting hardware that specifically requires it — a DivX-certified DVD player, an old car stereo, or a set-top box from the 2000s. The original DivX codec is MPEG-4 Part 2, a 1990s-era standard that newer devices have largely replaced with H.264 and HEVC. For phones, smart TVs, browsers, and editors, PNG to MP4 is the more compatible choice. In our testing, a 1920x1080 PNG converted to a 5-second DivX clip at the Very High preset produced a file in the low single-digit megabytes.
How is DivX different from XviD?
They share a lineage. When DivX, Inc. closed its encoder source, outside developers started XviD from the same MPEG-4 ASP encoding core, so both are MPEG-4 Part 2 codecs that most DivX-certified players treat interchangeably. DivX is the commercial brand with formal device certification; XviD is the open-source equivalent. A clip made here uses the DivX codec.
Can I turn several PNGs into one DivX slideshow?
Each upload is converted to its own DivX clip by default, with the image held for the duration you set. The Merge strategy option also offers a "Merge images" mode that joins your uploaded stills into a single video instead of one clip per image — useful for a basic photo slideshow on a DivX-capable player.
