Convert AVIF to PNG
Turn an AVIF image into a PNG right in your browser. AVIF is modern and compact, but not every program recognizes it — and unlike JPG, PNG preserves transparency. The conversion happens on your device — the file is never sent to a server.

How to convert AVIF to PNG in 3 steps
Add the AVIF
Drag the image onto the upload area or click to pick it. The file is read only in your device's memory.
Convert
Click process. The image is decoded and re-exported as PNG, keeping transparency when present.
Download the PNG
Download the converted image. No copy is kept anywhere.
AVIF with transparency: where to take it
AVIF delivers small files with excellent quality, but it's a recent format: many programs, editors and systems still don't open it. PNG is universally recognized and, unlike JPG, keeps a transparent background intact.
If your image has transparency — logos, icons, cut-out screenshots — PNG is the right destination to preserve that channel when switching formats.
Transparency preserved
PNG supports an alpha channel, so the transparent areas of the AVIF stay transparent in the result. No forced white background: the image arrives in PNG exactly as it was.
If your goal is the smallest possible file and transparency doesn't matter, JPG can be a lighter alternative. But for lossless quality and transparency, PNG is the choice.
Be ready: the file will grow a lot
This is the conversion that surprises people most. AVIF compresses aggressively with loss; PNG stores every pixel with no loss at all. Converting from one to the other doesn’t recover quality — it simply wraps the existing image in a format that discards nothing.
The effect on size is dramatic: a 200 KB AVIF can become a 2 to 4 MB PNG. That isn’t a fault in the tool, it’s the difference between a lossy and a lossless format.
When PNG is the right call
It’s worth it when you need transparency preserved (PNG keeps the AVIF’s alpha channel intact) or when the image is going through several rounds of editing. Because PNG doesn’t recompress on each save, editing and saving repeatedly degrades nothing.
If you only wanted to open the image in another program and weight matters, JPG usually serves better. The conversion happens entirely in your browser, with the image going nowhere.
Use cases
- Keep transparency when leaving the AVIF format
- Open an AVIF image in a program that doesn't recognize the format
- Use logos and icons with a transparent background as PNG
- Ensure compatibility with older editors or legacy systems
- Preserve lossless quality when switching formats
Frequently asked questions
Is transparency kept?
Yes. PNG supports an alpha channel, so the transparent areas of the AVIF stay transparent in the result.
Does the image lose quality?
No. PNG uses lossless compression, with no additional degradation during conversion.
Will the PNG be larger than the AVIF?
Usually yes, because AVIF is far more compact. In exchange, PNG is universal and lossless.
General questions about the site
- Is it free?
- Yes — no sign-up, no usage limit and no watermark.
- Does it work on mobile?
- Yes, straight from your Android or iPhone browser.
- Do I need to install anything?
