Convert AVIF to PNG
Convert AVIF to PNG free in your browser: upload a .avif file above and download it as .png in seconds. No signup, no watermarks. No further quality is lost — PNG stores the current pixels exactly. But remember the AVIF file itself already lost detail to lossy compression, and no converter can bring it back.
Upload a .avif file and download it as .png in seconds. AVIF is next-generation format with superior compression, while PNG is lossless format with transparency support — below you can see exactly what changes in the conversion and whether switching makes sense for your image.

Should You Convert AVIF to PNG?
Conversion changes how your image is stored, not what it shows. Switching from AVIF to PNG trades one set of strengths for another, so it helps to know which side of that trade you are on.
Good reasons to switch
- ✓Lossless quality
- ✓Transparency support
- ✓Universal support
- ✓You need the file in a program or platform that only accepts .png
Better off staying with AVIF
- ✗Best compression ratio — conversion does not remove this trade-off
- ✗HDR support — conversion does not remove this trade-off
- ✗Supports transparency — conversion does not remove this trade-off
- ✗Nothing about your current workflow requires .png
What Changes When You Convert
Quality
AVIF uses lossy compression, so some detail was already discarded when the file was created. Converting to PNG preserves exactly what remains — no further loss — but it cannot restore what was thrown away.
Transparency
Transparency is preserved when converting between these two formats.
Animation
If your AVIF file is animated, only the first frame carries over — PNG stores a single still image.
File size
File size depends on content: PNG files are compact for flat graphics and screenshots, large for photographs, while AVIF files are typically around 50% smaller than JPEG at the same quality.

How the Converter Works
- Upload — drop your .avif file into the tool above. It is processed temporarily and never shared.
- Convert — the file is re-encoded as .png with sensible default quality settings.
- Download — grab the finished .png file. Nothing is stored after processing.
