AVIF to PNG Converter

About the AVIF to PNG Converter

AVIF delivers small files with excellent quality, but its support in desktop editors and older software is still patchy. PNG is lossless, keeps transparency, and opens in practically every image tool — which makes it the safe target when an AVIF needs to work somewhere that cannot read it. This tool decodes your AVIF images with the browser and re-encodes them as PNG on your device, with no upload and no watermark.

What PNG preserves, and what it cannot

The alpha channel carries across exactly, so transparent AVIF graphics stay transparent with their soft edges intact. The limit is bit depth: PNG output here is 8 bits per channel, so a 10- or 12-bit HDR AVIF is flattened to standard dynamic range. On a photograph with a large smooth sky or a studio gradient that can show as slight banding. For the ordinary 8-bit AVIF files that make up most of the web, the conversion is exact and nothing is lost.

PNG or JPG from an AVIF?

PNG for graphics, screenshots, anything with transparency, and anything you intend to edit afterwards. JPG for photographs you are sending on, where it will be dramatically smaller. Neither target reproduces AVIF's efficiency — both are compatibility formats, and both will produce a larger file than the AVIF you started with. Pick based on what the receiving software needs, not on file size.

Frequently asked questions

Does AVIF to PNG keep transparency?

Yes. PNG supports an alpha channel, so any transparent areas in the AVIF are preserved in the converted PNG.

Is converting AVIF to PNG lossless?

PNG itself is lossless, so the conversion adds no new compression loss. It cannot restore detail the original AVIF already discarded, but it will not degrade the image any further.

Is it free and private?

Yes — it is free with no sign-up, and every image is converted in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
