Convert AVIF to PNG

Converting AVIF to PNG produces a lossless, universally supported file that keeps transparency.

How to convert AVIF to PNG

Drop your AVIF files onto the panel above and press Convert. A whole folder at once is fine, and the PNG files download individually or as a single ZIP.

PNG output is always lossless, so there is no quality setting to weigh up: the pixels decoded from your AVIF file are stored exactly as they are. The only thing to know is that the file may well be larger than the original, because lossless storage costs bytes.

Nothing is uploaded. The decoders and encoders run as WebAssembly inside this page, which is why there is no file-size limit, no queue, and no copy of your image on anyone's server.

Why convert AVIF to PNG?

Converting AVIF to PNG produces a lossless, universally supported file that keeps transparency.

AVIF is excellent on a web page and awkward everywhere else: many desktop editors, print services, and office applications still cannot open it at all. PNG trades AVIF’s compression for the ability to open the file anywhere, which is the trade you want when the image is going into a document or an editor.

The two formats side by side. The rows that differ are the ones that decide whether AVIF to PNG is the right conversion for your file.

What PNG does to file size

PNG will be many times larger than the AVIF.

That is the cost of a lossless container.

The source was lossily compressed, so PNG preserves it exactly as it is rather than improving it, and HDR or wide-gamut AVIF content is reduced to standard 8-bit colour.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert AVIF to PNG?

Drop your AVIF files above, choose PNG as the output, and press Convert. The files are decoded and re-encoded at maximum quality inside your browser, then download individually or as a ZIP — no upload, no account, no watermark.

Does converting AVIF to PNG lose quality?

Writing PNG is lossless, so the pixels handed to the encoder are stored exactly. What PNG cannot do is undo compression that already happened in the AVIF file — the result is faithful to the source, not better than it.

Can I just rename the file to .png?

No. The extension only labels the file, while the bytes inside follow the structure of a specific format. Renaming produces a file most software refuses to open. A real conversion decodes the image and re-encodes it in the new format, which is what happens here.
