Short answer: To convert AVIF to PNG, drop the file above, choose PNG and click Convert. PNG keeps transparency and does not lose quality when saved again, but the file will be larger. Everything stays on your device.
An AVIF file saved from a website may refuse to open in the program you actually want to use. PNG is the dependable alternative, understood by editors, slide software and website builders alike, and it can hold transparency just like AVIF can. This page converts AVIF to PNG inside your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
Why is PNG a good destination?
PNG works nearly everywhere and does not degrade when saved repeatedly. If you want to retouch a graphic, add it to a layered design or drop it into a document, a PNG copy avoids the compatibility headaches that come with AVIF. It also keeps any transparent areas, which matters for logos and cut-out images.
Expect larger files
AVIF is among the most efficient formats available, and PNG is among the least compact. A picture that is a few hundred kilobytes as AVIF may be several megabytes as PNG. The results list shows the exact change. If you only need a copy that opens everywhere and size matters, JPG is smaller, at the cost of transparency.
What should you watch for?
Animated AVIF files are converted to a single still, using the first frame. Very large images can take a little time to decode, since AVIF is demanding to process and everything runs on your own device. Color information from wide-gamut or HDR pictures is converted to standard colors, so extremely vivid originals can look slightly different. Keep your original file as a master.
Checking transparency
If your AVIF came from a logo or product cut-out, check the corners after converting. Open the PNG on a coloured background in your editor and confirm that the see-through area is clean. Some AVIF files store a soft edge that looks fine on white but shows a faint halo on dark colours; that halo was already in the source. If the file is large, set a width in Advanced options before converting, which saves space. For a smaller file that opens everywhere, consider WebP, which also keeps transparency.
Questions people ask
Does PNG keep transparency from AVIF?
Yes. Transparent areas in the AVIF stay transparent in the PNG.
Why is the PNG so large?
AVIF compresses extremely well, while PNG stores every pixel exactly.
Are animated AVIF files supported?
Only the first frame is converted, producing a single still image.
Is AVIF to PNG lossless?
The PNG keeps exactly what was decoded from the AVIF, with no further loss. Any detail the AVIF compression removed earlier cannot be restored.
Why is my PNG ten times bigger than the AVIF?
AVIF is one of the most efficient formats, while PNG stores every pixel exactly. A big jump in size is expected for photos.
