How to convert AVIF to PNG

To convert an image, upload one AVIF to the AVIF to PNG tool, which decodes and previews it in the browser. Export the PNG and, when the source AVIF contains meaningful alpha, the transparency is carried over into the PNG output.

Everything runs locally, so the AVIF is never uploaded to a server. That keeps the conversion private and fast, with no queue or account, even for unreleased graphics and client assets.

  • Upload one still AVIF
  • Preview the decoded image
  • Export a PNG with transparency preserved

Where PNG fits better than AVIF

PNG is still the easier format for many design, sticker, and transparency-heavy workflows, since most editors, slide tools, and document apps accept it without question. The AVIF to PNG converter is for that practical format switch, not a generic converter maze.

Unlike JPG, PNG supports an alpha channel, so converting AVIF to PNG is the right choice when transparency must survive. The conversion stays on your device, keeping your image private.

Tips

Getting a better result out of AVIF to PNG

Specific settings and thresholds, not general advice.

  • PNG is lossless, so the export will be far larger than the AVIF. Our benchmark measured AVIF at 37% smaller than JPEG, and PNG is heavier than JPEG, so expect a multiple, not a margin.
  • This is the right choice when the AVIF has transparency. PNG carries a real alpha channel; JPG does not, and would flatten a cutout onto white.
  • There is no quality setting, because PNG discards nothing. The size of the result is decided by the image, not by a slider.
  • It does not clean up the AVIF. Whatever the lossy encode already discarded is gone, and PNG will store what remains with perfect fidelity, artefacts included.
  • Use it as an editing intermediate, not as a delivery format. A lossless PNG is a clean base for further work; for the web, the AVIF is the file you want to serve.
Limits

What AVIF to PNG does not do

The honest boundary, so you do not lose time finding it yourself.

  • It produces a much larger file. PNG is lossless.
  • It does not recover quality the AVIF discarded.
  • It does not resize or crop.
  • It handles a still image, not an animation.

Files & formatsAVIFAVIF (.avif) is a next-generation image format based on the AV1 video codec. It typically produces smaller files than JPEG or WebP at the same quality and supports transparency, HDR, and wide color — making it one of the most space-efficient formats available.General

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

Will this keep alpha transparency?

Yes. The AVIF to PNG converter keeps transparency when the AVIF source contains meaningful alpha, since PNG supports an alpha channel.

Does this handle animated AVIF?

No. This converter is for still images only; animated AVIF is not processed by the current AVIF tools.

Does my AVIF get uploaded?

No. Decoding, preview, and PNG export all happen in your browser, so the AVIF stays on your device and is never sent to a server.

Is AVIF to PNG free?

Yes. The converter is free to use with no signup, and the conversion runs locally in your browser.

Why is the PNG so much bigger than the AVIF?

Because PNG is lossless and AVIF is not. Our benchmark measured AVIF at 37% smaller than JPEG at matched quality, and PNG is heavier again, so a several-fold increase is normal.

Does the transparency survive?

Yes. PNG has a real alpha channel, which is exactly why it is the right target when the AVIF has transparency and a JPG would flatten it onto white.

Does converting to PNG improve the image?

No. PNG stores what it is given with perfect fidelity, including any artefacts the lossy AVIF already introduced. It preserves; it does not repair.

When should I convert AVIF to PNG?

When something needs a lossless file: an editing workflow, a print handoff, or a tool that refuses AVIF and also needs transparency. For the web, keep the AVIF.

Is there a quality setting?

No, and there cannot be: PNG discards nothing, so there is no trade to make. The size of the result comes from the content of the image.
