How to convert AVIF to PNG
- Add your AVIF images by choosing them or dropping them onto the page.
- Conversion to PNG starts straight away. Open Settings if you want to change quality, size.
- Download each file, or use Download all to get a ZIP.
Why convert AVIF to PNG
PNG is the broadly compatible lossless option. It is a good choice when you need to edit an AVIF graphic, or place it into software that has no AVIF support, without flattening transparency.
What happens to your image
- AVIF pixels and alpha are decoded and written as PNG.
- High bit depth and HDR data are reduced to 8-bit sRGB.
- Animated AVIF becomes a still image of the first frame.
- File size grows substantially, since AVIF compresses far more than PNG.
About AVIF and PNG
AVIF
AVIF is an image format built on the AV1 video codec. It supports transparency, wide colour and high bit depth, and is usually among the smallest options for a given quality.
- Encoding is slow compared with JPEG or WebP
- Support in editors, social platforms and older operating systems is still patchy
PNG
PNG is a lossless format: pixels are stored exactly, so it never adds compression artifacts. It supports full alpha transparency.
- No quality loss
- Real transparency, including soft edges
- Crisp for screenshots, logos and diagrams
Tips
- For photographs, AVIF to JPG gives a much smaller file than PNG.
- If conversions of very large images fail, use the resize option to lower the output resolution.
Frequently asked questions
Does AVIF to PNG keep transparency?
Yes, alpha is preserved.
Why is my PNG many times bigger?
AVIF is among the most efficient formats. PNG is lossless, so photographs take much more space.
Can I convert a batch?
Yes, add many files and use Download all for a single ZIP.
Limits to know about
Conversion happens in your browser's memory, so very large images or very large batches can fail on devices with little memory. If that happens you will see a clear message, and you can retry with fewer files or the resize option.
