PNG is lossless, so the copy is bigger than the highly-compressed AVIF.

About the two formats
AVIF
AVIF is the newest mainstream image format, based on the AV1 video codec. It achieves the smallest files of any widely-supported format and handles HDR, transparency and animation - but older software cannot open it.
PNG
PNG was designed as a lossless web format: it stores every pixel exactly and supports full transparency. That makes it the default choice for logos, icons, screenshots and any graphic with sharp edges or text.
