How to convert AVIF to PNG
- Add your .AVIF file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .PNG in a few seconds.
- Download your new .PNG file.
What to expect
- PNG files are typically 5-20× larger than the source AVIF - this is expected, not an error.
- No new compression artifacts are introduced; the PNG captures exactly what the AVIF decoder produces.
- If the AVIF uses HDR or a wide colour profile, some tools may tone-map to sRGB - GIMP and ImageMagick handle ICC profiles most reliably.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting AVIF to PNG lose quality?
No new quality loss occurs. PNG is lossless, so it captures the AVIF decoder output exactly - the only artifacts present are those already in the original AVIF.
Why is the PNG file so much bigger than the AVIF?
AVIF uses the AV1 codec, one of the most efficient image compressors available, while PNG uses lossless compression that cannot match AV1's efficiency. A 5× to 20× size increase is normal.
Will PNG keep the transparent background from my AVIF?
Yes - PNG supports alpha transparency, and tools such as GIMP, ImageMagick, and our free converter all carry the alpha channel through correctly.
Can I convert AVIF to PNG on a phone?
Yes - our free converter works on any iPhone or Android phone, with no app to install.
