Need a PNG instead of a AVIF? This free converter turns your AVIF files into PNG right in your browser — no uploads, no account, and no software to install. Everything below explains how it works, what changes when you convert, and how to get the best result.
How to convert AVIF to PNG
- Add your AVIF files above — drag and drop, click to browse, or paste. Nothing is uploaded.
- Each file is decoded and re-encoded to PNG on your device, right in the browser.
- Download each PNG individually, or grab the whole batch as a single ZIP.
Why convert AVIF to PNG?
AVIF is a good fit for modern web images, but it isn’t always the right choice when you need to share, upload, edit, or archive an image. Converting to PNG gives you a file that’s better suited to those jobs.
What you gain with PNG:
- Lossless quality
- Transparency support
- Universal compatibility
Because PNG is lossless, the converted files are often larger than the AVIF originals — that’s the trade-off for perfect fidelity.
AVIF vs PNG at a glance
| AVIF | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Lossy | Lossless |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
| Animation | Yes | No |
| Best for | Modern web images | Graphics, screenshots, logos, and editing |
What is AV1 Image File Format (.avif)?
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is one of the newest image formats, built on the AV1 video codec. It delivers excellent compression and quality — including HDR and wide color — and is supported in every current major browser.
AVIF uses AV1 intra-frame coding, which often compresses more efficiently than JPEG, WebP, or HEIC, and supports 10- and 12-bit color plus a full alpha channel. The trade-off is that encoding can be slower than older formats.
What is Portable Network Graphics (.png)?
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless format built for the web and for graphics work. It records every pixel exactly, supports clean transparency, and opens everywhere JPG does.
PNG uses DEFLATE, a lossless compression algorithm, so re-saving never degrades the image. It supports a full 8-bit alpha channel for smooth transparency and up to 24-bit color, which is why it is the go-to for anything with sharp edges or text.
When PNG is the right choice
PNG is a strong pick for:
- Logos, icons, and graphics
- Screenshots
- Images that need transparency
- Editing and long-term archiving
Quality and file size
PNG is lossless, so it reproduces the decoded image pixel-for-pixel with no compression artifacts. That fidelity is ideal for graphics, text, and archiving. Because PNG is lossless, the converted files are often larger than the AVIF originals — that’s the trade-off for perfect fidelity. Need a specific file size instead? Try our compress-image tool.
Is it private?
Yes. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your AVIF files are never intentionally sent to a server. Read more on our privacy page, or see whether converting images online is safe.
Frequently asked questions
Is this AVIF to PNG converter free?
Yes. It’s completely free with no signup, no watermarks, and no per-file limits beyond sensible batch caps that keep your browser responsive.
Are my AVIF files uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser using WebAssembly and your device’s own image tools, so your files are never intentionally sent to a server.
Does converting AVIF to PNG reduce quality?
PNG is a lossless format, so every pixel from the decoded image is preserved exactly — there’s no visible quality loss.
Will converting to PNG keep transparency?
Yes. PNG supports an alpha channel, so transparent areas in your AVIF files are preserved. If you’d rather flatten them onto a white background, you can turn transparency off in the settings.
Can I convert multiple AVIF files at once?
Yes. Add up to 50 files per batch, convert them together, and download them individually or as a single ZIP.
Does the AVIF to PNG converter work on a phone?
Yes. It runs in any modern browser — Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari — on Windows, macOS, Android, and iPhone or iPad. Because it works on-device, you can convert straight from your phone’s photo library.
Is there a file size limit?
You can convert files up to 100 MB each. Because everything runs in your browser, very large files depend on your device’s available memory.
