Why convert AVIF to PNG?
Convert AVIF to PNG when you need to edit an image saved from the web, keep its transparent background, or use it in a program that does not read AVIF yet.
When to keep the AVIF
For publishing on the web keep the AVIF: it is many times smaller than the PNG and every current browser shows it.
Tips for the best result
- Quality 100 gives a lossless, full-colour PNG, best for editing.
- Transparency in the AVIF is kept.
- Lower Quality values reduce colours for smaller files, which suits icons and graphics.
Common problems and fixes
- The PNG is very large.
- PNG is lossless; AVIF is one of the most efficient lossy formats. Lower Quality or Max dimension, or use AVIF to JPG.
- The file will not convert.
- Some AVIF files are image sequences (animations). Make sure the file is a still image.

AVIF – AV1 Image File Format
AVIF is a modern image format built on the AV1 video codec. It supports transparency and high dynamic range, and it often produces the smallest files of any web image format at a given quality. Encoding is slower than for JPG or WebP, and older browsers and some apps cannot open it.

PNG – Portable Network Graphics
PNG stores images with lossless compression and supports full transparency, which makes it the usual choice for logos, screenshots and graphics with sharp edges. The trade-off is size: a photograph saved as PNG is normally far larger than the same photo saved as JPG or WebP.

- PNG files are often larger than AVIF files. If size matters, lower the Quality slider or choose a smaller Max dimension.
- PNG keeps transparency and sharp edges. To keep files small, the number of colours is reduced to match your Quality setting.
Frequently asked questions
Does AVIF to PNG keep transparency?
Yes. Transparent and semi-transparent areas are kept in the PNG.
Is the PNG better quality than the AVIF?
It is an exact copy of what the AVIF shows, without further loss, so it is the right format for editing.
How do I convert AVIF to PNG?
Click Select File or drop your AVIF file onto the upload box. Pick the quality and maximum size, and the converted PNG appears in the list below with a download button. You can add many files at once and download them together as a ZIP.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark. To keep the service available for everyone there is a 95MB limit per file and a cap on how many files one connection can process in a short period.
Are my files stored?
Your upload is used only to make the converted file. Images are processed in memory; other files are written to a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes. Nothing is kept after the result has been sent back.
Will quality drop?
For images, a little, by design: the image is re-encoded at the Quality you choose (default 75%). Audio and video are re-encoded with high-quality settings; documents keep their text and layout as far as the target format allows. Converting never restores detail that is already missing from the original.
How this works: your file is uploaded over HTTPS and converted on this server with open-source engines (libvips for images, FFmpeg for audio and video, LibreOffice and Pandoc for documents, Calibre for ebooks, Ghostscript and Inkscape for PDF and vector files). Images are processed in memory; other files use a private temporary folder that is deleted as soon as the conversion finishes.
