Frequently asked questions
Is this conversion lossless?
The AVIF source is decoded and re-saved losslessly as PNG, so no further quality is lost in this step.
Why is my PNG so much bigger?
AVIF is a highly efficient modern codec; PNG cannot match its compression, so a size increase when converting is expected.
Do I need to install anything?
No software and no sign-up. The AVIF-to-PNG converter runs in your web browser, so it works on any device β Windows, Mac, Android or iPhone β straight from this page.
Can I convert more than one file at once?
Yes. Drop in several images and they are converted together; a single file downloads directly, while a batch arrives as a ZIP.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser β your images never leave your device.
Why convert AVIF to PNG?
Convert AVIF to PNG when you need a lossless file for editing or a format your software can open.
Understanding the two formats
AVIF β AVIF. AVIF is a newer format based on the AV1 video codec, and it usually produces the smallest files of any common format at a given quality, with excellent colour and high-dynamic-range support. Its limitation is maturity: support in older browsers, editors and upload systems is still catching up, so it is not yet as universally accepted as JPG or WebP.
PNG β PNG. PNG is a lossless format, meaning it reproduces every pixel exactly with no compression artefacts. That makes it the right choice for screenshots, logos, icons, diagrams and anything with crisp edges or flat colour, and it fully supports transparency. The trade-off is size: a photograph saved as PNG can be several times larger than the same image as JPG, so PNG is not suited to camera photos you need to keep small.
What to expect from the conversion
PNG will typically be larger than the source AVIF, since AVIF compression is more efficient β this trade is normal.
Converting a batch
Drop in as many AVIF files as you need and they are converted together, arriving as a single ZIP. Because the work happens on your own device rather than on a server, a batch is limited only by your own memory, and there is no queue, no daily cap and no sign-up. Private or sensitive images stay entirely with you.
Need a different conversion, or want to process a batch? The full image converter handles JPG, PNG and WebP together, and you can pair it with the compressor if the result also needs to hit a size limit.
Other ways to convert a AVIF file
The same AVIF reader feeds each conversion below, so whichever output you pick the file is still decoded on your own device.
Other ways to get a PNG file
If what you are starting from is not a AVIF, open the converter that matches your own file instead.
