Convert AVIF to PNG

About AVIF to PNG

AVIF is the most efficient image format in general use — commonly half the size of JPG at matched quality. Websites have adopted it quickly, which means people increasingly save an image and find themselves holding a `.avif` that very little software outside a browser will open.

PNG is the right conversion target in two situations: when the image has transparency, and when you intend to edit it without accumulating further loss. For everything else, JPG is smaller and just as universally supported.

Transparency is the main reason to choose PNG here. AVIF supports an alpha channel and so does PNG, so logos, icons and product cutouts convert cleanly with their transparent regions intact. Converting the same image to JPG would flatten those areas onto white permanently.

Expect the file to grow substantially. You are moving from one of the most efficient formats to a lossless one. A 300 KB AVIF photograph can easily become a 3 MB PNG. That is the nature of the trade — compatibility and losslessness cost size — not a fault in the conversion.

On quality. PNG stores exactly what it is given, so the PNG looks identical to the AVIF. What it cannot do is undo compression already applied: if the source AVIF was heavily compressed, its artefacts are baked into the pixels and PNG will preserve them faithfully at a much larger size.

Browser support matters here. This tool relies on your browser being able to decode AVIF. Every current version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge can. If a file will not load, an out-of-date browser is the usual cause.

A smaller alternative. If your destination is a web page rather than a piece of desktop software, WebP keeps transparency too and is far smaller than PNG. PNG is worth the size only when something specifically requires it or you need guaranteed lossless output.

Conversion happens entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded, and batches of up to 30 files are processed one at a time.
