PDFConvertersOnline.comHow to convert AVIF to PNG
- Pick one or several .avif images.
- PNG is already selected; no quality setting is needed.
- Convert and download the PNG files, individually or as a ZIP.
Why pick PNG over JPG for AVIF files
AVIF can carry an alpha channel, so it's used for logos, icons, product cut-outs and interface graphics as well as photos. Converting those to JPG would replace the transparent parts with a solid color. PNG keeps them. It is the most compatible format that supports transparency, understood by office software, design tools, slide decks and every browser.
PNG also makes sense when:
- The AVIF contains text, lines or a screenshot, where JPG artifacts would be visible.
- You want to edit the image in a program that doesn't read AVIF, and save it several times without piling up compression damage.
- A platform, print shop or template requires PNG files.
What "lossless" means here
PNG stores the decoded pixels exactly. It doesn't bring back detail AVIF discarded when the file was first created, but it won't remove anything else either. Your PNG is a faithful copy of what you see on screen when you open the AVIF in a browser.
File size expectations
Of the formats you're likely to use, AVIF is among the most compact and PNG among the least. For a photo, the PNG can easily be ten times bigger than the AVIF. For a logo or flat illustration, the difference is much smaller. If the PNG is too heavy and the image is a photo without transparency, AVIF to JPG is the smarter choice; for graphics, try Compress PNG.
Common situations
- A website delivered its logo as AVIF and you need it for a document or slide with a transparent background.
- You received design assets exported as AVIF, but your editing tool doesn't read that format.
- You want a lossless working copy before cropping, annotating or retouching an image.
After editing, you can always convert the finished PNG back to a compact format with PNG to AVIF or PNG to WebP.
AVIF and PNG compared
| AVIF | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Compression | Mostly lossy, very efficient | Lossless |
| Transparency | Yes | Yes |
| Support in older apps | Limited | Universal |
| Good for | Publishing on the web | Editing, sharing, printing |
Decoding on any browser
Browsers that support AVIF decode it directly. On older browsers, a decoder built into this page takes over automatically, so you don't need to install anything. The whole process stays on your device, and the files never touch a server. Wide-color or HDR images are saved as standard 8-bit PNG, so very bright highlights may look slightly less intense. You won't find a quality slider for PNG, since it always saves the image without loss; only the file size varies from picture to picture.

Frequently asked questions
Is transparency kept when converting AVIF to PNG?
Yes. Fully and partly transparent pixels are carried over exactly.
Why is the PNG so large?
AVIF is a highly compressed format and PNG is lossless, so the PNG must store every pixel in full. This is normal, especially for photos.
Can I convert animated AVIF?
The PNG will be a still image of the first frame. Animation is not preserved.
Can I convert AVIF to PNG on a phone?
Yes. The page works in mobile Safari and Chrome. Very large images may be slow on older phones because they are decoded in full.
Is anything sent to a server?
No. Decoding and PNG encoding both run in your browser, so the images stay on your device the whole time.
Can I convert AVIF to PNG in bulk?
Yes. Select as many files as you need. They are decoded one at a time so the page keeps responding, and a single ZIP holds all the PNGs at the end.
