About AVIF to PNG Converter
The AVIF to PNG converter transforms cutting-edge AVIF images into the widely compatible PNG format while preserving transparency and maintaining the superior quality of AVIF originals. This conversion ensures compatibility with applications and systems that require PNG format. This powerful tool supports batch conversion of up to 5 AVIF files at once with individual progress tracking and customizable compression settings. PNG format preserves transparency and supports lossless compression, making it ideal for images with transparency or sharp edges. Higher compression levels result in smaller file sizes but take longer to process, giving you full control over the balance between file size and processing time.
Why use a AVIF to PNG Converter?
Converting AVIF to PNG provides universal compatibility across all devices and applications while maintaining transparency support for graphic design work. PNG format offers lossless quality, broad compatibility, and is required by many design applications and printing services that don't yet support AVIF.
Who is it for?
This tool is essential for designers working with applications requiring PNG format, developers ensuring broad compatibility, print services needing PNG files, and users sharing high-quality images with transparency on platforms that don't support AVIF format.
How to use the tool
Upload your AVIF files using the intuitive file selector or drag-and-drop
Configure PNG compression settings to balance quality and file size
Preview the converted PNG to verify transparency and quality preservation

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert AVIF to PNG online?
Drag and drop your .avif file (or click to browse). The converter decodes the AVIF and re-encodes as lossless PNG. Download the .png result. Conversion runs through our image pipeline; files are not stored or logged after processing. AVIF's alpha channel survives the conversion intact, making this the right choice when transparency matters.
Will converting AVIF to PNG reduce image quality?
No — PNG is lossless. The conversion decodes AVIF to pixels and re-encodes them in PNG's lossless compression, so the visual quality is identical to the source AVIF. File size will increase substantially (often 5-10x) because PNG doesn't compress photographic content as efficiently as AVIF. For photo content, PNG output is much larger than the AVIF input; for graphics, screenshots, or images with large flat colour areas, PNG can be competitive.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
Your image is processed by our image pipeline and returned to your browser. We don't store, log, or share your images — they're discarded immediately after processing. The TLS connection protects images in transit. For maximum privacy with sensitive photos, run image conversion locally with ImageMagick (`magick input.avif output.png`) or libavif/avifdec command-line tools.
Does the conversion preserve transparency or EXIF metadata?
Transparency IS preserved — both AVIF and PNG support alpha channels, so transparent pixels survive the conversion. This is the main reason to choose PNG over JPG when converting from AVIF. EXIF metadata is typically stripped during conversion — generally a privacy benefit (removes GPS and camera info) but loses orientation tags. PNG supports its own metadata format (tEXt, iTXt chunks) but this converter doesn't usually preserve EXIF across the AVIF→PNG boundary.
What is AVIF and when should I use it?
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern image format published in 2019, based on the AV1 video codec. ~50% smaller than JPEG at equivalent quality, supports alpha, HDR, animation. Decoding is supported in Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, Safari 16+, Edge 121+ — ~95% browser coverage in 2026. Use AVIF for web hero images and product photos. Use PNG when you need lossless archival or transparency in environments without AVIF support.
Why is the PNG so much larger than the AVIF?
Because PNG uses lossless compression and AVIF uses lossy. AVIF's quality 85 might be 100 KB; the same image as PNG might be 800 KB — 8x larger. PNG's compression algorithm (DEFLATE) is optimised for graphics with large flat colour areas, not photographs with continuous tone. If you don't need transparency or lossless storage, use [AVIF to JPG](/tools/avif-to-jpg/) or [AVIF to WebP](/tools/avif-to-webp/) for much smaller output. PNG is the right target only when transparency or pixel-exact preservation matters.
Can I convert multiple AVIF files at once?
Yes — drag multiple files or upload sequentially. The tool processes them in parallel and provides individual downloads. PNG conversion is fast (typically under a second per image), so even larger batches complete quickly. For very large batches (100+ images), a local script using ImageMagick is more efficient.
When should I convert AVIF to PNG?
Three common cases. (1) Need transparency preserved AND PNG compatibility (e.g., product photos with alpha for an older CMS that doesn't accept AVIF). (2) Archival storage where lossless is required. (3) Working with image editing software that doesn't read AVIF (older Photoshop versions, GIMP without plugins). For web delivery, keep AVIF or convert to WebP. For sharing with a JPEG-only consumer, use [AVIF to JPG](/tools/avif-to-jpg/) instead — PNG is overkill for non-transparent content.
