Why convert AVIF to PNG?

AVIF stores transparency, and so do PNG and WebP. JPG does not. Convert a transparent AVIF to JPG and the see-through parts silently become white, which usually goes unnoticed until the image is placed on a coloured background.

PNG is also the right stop for an image entering an editing workflow. It is lossless, so opening, editing and saving does not shave a little off each time.

What changes in the file

  • Transparency survives exactly, soft edges included.
  • Nothing further is compressed away, though whatever the AVIF already lost stays lost.
  • The file gets very large. AVIF is among the most efficient formats and PNG is among the least, so a tenfold increase is unremarkable.

  1. Check that PNG is the selected format above. It is picked for you on this page.
  2. Drop your AVIF images into the box, or click it to browse.
  3. Download the result. It never left your device.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the PNG so much bigger than the AVIF?

They compress in fundamentally different ways. AVIF uses video compression techniques on the picture; PNG only looks for exactly repeating patterns, which photographs do not contain. The gap is the two designs working as intended.

Is PNG or WebP the better target?

WebP if the size matters, since it keeps transparency at a fraction of the size. PNG if you need it lossless or the software ahead of you insists on it.

Does this work for an animated AVIF?

Only the first frame. AVIF can hold animation and PNG, in the form most software reads, cannot.
