AVIF to PNG Converter
Convert AVIF images to PNG format. Keep full quality with lossless PNG while gaining universal compatibility. Batch supported.
AVIF vs PNG: what changes
- PNG files are usually larger than AVIF, because PNG stores every pixel without loss. That makes it safe to edit and re-save, although it cannot restore detail the original compression removed.
- PNG opens everywhere, including older phones, email clients and apps that can't handle AVIF.
- AVIF can hold animation; PNG cannot, so you'll get the first frame as a still image.

Is converting AVIF to PNG lossless?
The PNG stores the pixels your browser decoded without adding any compression loss, although any loss already built into a lossy AVIF stays in the image. Each picture is drawn at full size onto a transparent canvas and saved with the browser's PNG encoder, so there is no quality slider to set. A file named sticker.avif saves as sticker.png, and two or more files download together as avif-to-png-converted.zip.
The canvas holds 8 bits per channel in sRGB, which limits what survives from AVIF files that store 10-bit or 12-bit color and HDR brightness. A 12-bit file has 4,096 levels per channel and the PNG keeps 256, so fine gradients are rounded and HDR highlights are brought into the standard range, even though the PNG format itself could hold 16 bits.
Does the PNG keep the AVIF's transparency?
Yes. Nothing is painted under the image, so an AVIF with an alpha channel becomes a PNG with the same see-through areas, soft edges included. That makes this converter the right one for logos, stickers and cutouts saved as AVIF. If the image will sit on a white background anyway, AVIF to JPG is the other option; it fills transparent areas with white. An animated AVIF still gives only its first frame, as one still PNG.
Why is the PNG so much bigger, and when is that worth it?
Before compression, a 1920 × 1080 image is 1920 × 1080 × 4 = 8,294,400 bytes of RGBA data (7.91 MB), and a 3840 × 2160 image is four times that, 33,177,600 bytes. Lossless compression shrinks flat graphics far below that, while photos with fine texture shrink much less, so a photo saved as PNG is often several times the size of its AVIF. Each card shows both sizes and adds a percentage only when the PNG is the smaller file.
Choose PNG when you need transparency, plan to edit the image again, or want a format that practically every program opens. For sharing photos, AVIF to JPG gives a much smaller file with a quality slider. Files are converted one after another; a file your browser cannot decode shows an error on its own card, and the rest of the batch still finishes.
