AVIF to PNG

Convert AVIF images to lossless PNG while keeping transparency — the right target when the image is going into an editor rather than onto a web page.

How it works

A compact workflow from input to download.

1

Add your AVIF files

Drag and drop one or many AVIF images onto the drop zone, or click to browse your device. Batch conversion is supported.

2

Pick your quality

Adjust the quality slider if you want a smaller file or a sharper PNG. The default is tuned to look identical to the original at a fraction of the size.

3

Download the PNG

Save each converted image individually, or download everything at once as a ZIP archive. Nothing is uploaded at any point.

Frequently asked questions

Is transparency preserved?
Yes. AVIF and PNG both support an alpha channel, so transparent areas survive the conversion intact — unlike a conversion to JPG, which would flatten them onto solid white.
Why is the PNG so much bigger than the AVIF?
AVIF is extraordinarily efficient at throwing away what you will not notice; PNG throws away nothing at all. A tenfold size increase is entirely normal and is not a sign anything went wrong.
Does PNG restore the quality AVIF compressed away?
No. Detail lost during AVIF encoding is gone permanently. PNG simply guarantees no further loss occurs from this point onward.
When should I pick PNG over JPG here?
Pick PNG when the image has transparency you need to keep, when it contains text or line art that must stay razor-sharp, or when it is about to be edited repeatedly. Pick JPG when it is an ordinary photograph you just need to share or upload.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using JavaScript and the Canvas API. Your files never leave your device, are never uploaded, and are never stored — which also means the tool keeps working on files you would not be comfortable sending to a stranger's server.

Choosing a lossless destination

When you convert out of a highly efficient format like AVIF, the destination decides what happens to the image from that moment on. Converting to another lossy format means a second round of detail-discarding, which is fine once but degrades the image a little further each time it is repeated. Converting to PNG stops that process cold: the file becomes a perfect, permanent record of the pixels the AVIF decoded to, and nothing you do afterwards — cropping, editing, re-saving a dozen times — will make it any worse. That guarantee is what you are buying with the much larger file size, and it is worth it precisely when the image has more work ahead of it.

Transparency is the deciding factor

If there is one question that settles the PNG-versus-JPG choice for AVIF sources, it is whether the image has transparent regions. AVIF supports an alpha channel and is increasingly used for transparent graphics on the web, so this is not a rare edge case. PNG carries that alpha channel through untouched. JPG has no alpha channel at all, so every transparent pixel is silently filled with white — which produces the familiar, unwanted white rectangle behind a logo that was supposed to float cleanly on whatever background you placed it. Check for transparency first, and let the answer choose the format.
