What is the AVIF to PNG tool?

AVIF to PNG converts AVIF images into lossless PNG files — free, in your browser, with nothing uploaded to any server. AVIF is the highly compressed format modern websites serve; PNG is the universal, lossless format every editor, viewer and upload form accepts. When you've downloaded an .avif file you need to actually work with — edit it, drop it into a document, upload it somewhere strict — converting to PNG is the reliable route, and it keeps every pixel exactly as decoded.

Transparency survives the trip. AVIF supports an alpha channel and so does PNG, so logos, icons and cut-out graphics keep their transparent backgrounds through the conversion — unlike converting to JPG, which fills them with white. And because PNG is lossless there's no quality slider to think about: what comes out is a faithful copy of what the AVIF decoded to. Expect the PNG to be considerably larger than the AVIF, though — that's the honest cost of lossless storage.

Everything runs on your device. Your browser decodes the AVIF and writes the PNG locally, so the image never leaves your machine — no sign-up, no watermark, no limits on how many files you convert. Batches work too: drop several .avif files and download the PNGs together as one zip. Going the other way to shrink images for the web? That's the PNG to AVIF converter.

How to use the AVIF to PNG

  1. Open the AVIF to PNG converter — From is preset to AVIF and the target to PNG.
  2. Click «Choose images» or drop your .avif files into the drop zone; batches are fine.
  3. Press «Convert» — PNG is lossless, so there's no quality setting to adjust.
  4. The PNG downloads automatically; multiple files arrive together as a single zip.
  5. Open or edit the PNG anywhere — every editor, viewer and upload form accepts it.

Frequently asked questions

Does PNG keep the transparency from my AVIF file?

Yes. Both AVIF and PNG support alpha transparency, so transparent backgrounds and cut-out edges are preserved exactly. This is the key difference from converting to JPG, which flattens transparency onto white.

Is AVIF to PNG lossless?

Yes. PNG stores every pixel of the decoded AVIF without further compression loss. Note that if the AVIF itself was saved lossily by whoever created it, PNG preserves what's in the file — it can't restore detail the AVIF never contained.

Should I convert AVIF to PNG or to JPG?

PNG for editing, graphics, transparency and anything you'll re-save; JPG for photos you just want to share, since files are far smaller. If you're unsure and the image is a photo, JPG is usually enough — the AVIF to JPG converter handles that.

Why is the PNG so much larger than the AVIF was?

AVIF is one of the most efficient lossy formats there is; PNG is lossless and stores far more data per pixel. A several-times-larger file is normal and expected — it's the price of a perfect, universally compatible copy.

Is my image uploaded anywhere during the conversion?

No. Decoding and encoding both happen inside your browser on your own device. The file is never sent to a server — there's nothing to upload, so nothing can leak.

Is this free? How many files can I convert?

Completely free — no sign-up, no watermark, no daily quota. There's no artificial file cap; very large batches are limited only by your device's memory.
