contents Diffusive propagation of spin waves and their quanta - magnons - in the archetypal magnetic insulator yttrium iron garnet (YIG) is under a surge of research for low-power and low-loss data communication. However, operation under external magnetic fields reduces magnon diffusion length, attenuates the voltage amplitude at measurement terminals, and complicates the architecture of magnonic devices. Here, we explore the low-field and field-free regime of diffusive magnon transport in YIG films. We demonstrate that the field-induced suppression of magnon diffusion length can be fully inhibited only at the zero-field limit. Even a modest field of 10mT attenuates the non-local spin voltage by $\sim$ 20$\%$ in a transport channel of $\sim$ 1$μ$m long. Using Stoner-Wohlfarth macrospin simulations, we reveal that an often overlooked, in-plane uniaxial anisotropy becomes the critical parameter governing the field-free operation of magnonic devices. We further demonstrate a tenfold enhancement in the effective field associated with the in-plane uniaxial anisotropy of YIG films at low temperatures - a key finding for field-free operation of magnonic devices under cryogenic conditions.
