AVIF to PNG Converter

1. Upload one or more AVIF files (up to 50 MB total).
2. Click 'Convert to PNG' — finishes in under 2 seconds per image.
3. Download PNG files individually, or grab all as a ZIP.

PNG is lossless — the decoded AVIF image is preserved pixel-for-pixel, but PNG files are typically 5-10x larger than the AVIF source. Best when you plan to edit the image extensively.

AVIF is efficient but lossy and not universally supported by editing software. PNG is lossless and works everywhere — Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity, Figma, Illustrator. If you need to edit an AVIF image, preserve it in a lossless format, or use it in software that doesn't support AVIF, PNG is the safe choice. The trade-off is file size: PNG output is typically 5-10x larger than the AVIF source.

The converter decodes the AV1-compressed AVIF image and writes it as an uncompressed PNG using zlib compression. The output has no additional quality loss beyond what was already baked into the source AVIF. AVIF's alpha channel is preserved as PNG's 8-bit alpha.

• Editing AVIF photos in Photoshop, GIMP, or Affinity.
• Creating transparent assets from AVIF images.
• Archiving images in a format guaranteed to remain readable.
• Feeding AVIF images into software that doesn't support AVIF.
• Preparing design assets for long-term storage.
• Converting for workflows that require lossless input.
• Layering AVIF images in design documents without quality loss.

PNG output is lossless — every pixel of the decoded AVIF image is preserved exactly. This makes PNG the correct choice for editing workflows where you plan to re-encode multiple times. The output is 5-10x larger than the source, which is the price of lossless preservation.

• PNG files are 5-10x larger than the source AVIF.
• Not suitable for web delivery where AVIF or WebP would be better.
• Very large PNG outputs may be slow to open.
• Animated AVIF sequences use only the first frame.
• AVIF's HDR metadata is not preserved (PNG is 8-bit).

• PNG opens natively on every OS and in every image editor.
• Universal browser support since 1996.
• Native import in Photoshop, GIMP, Affinity, Illustrator, Figma, Sketch.
• Ideal for editing workflows and pixel-perfect assets.
• Accepted by every CMS, marketplace, and upload form.

• Use PNG when you plan to edit the image — no loss is added.
• Keep the AVIF original — it's much smaller than the PNG.
• PNG preserves transparency from the source AVIF.
• For web use, AVIF or WebP is more appropriate than PNG.
• Batch-convert up to 50 MB at once.

PNG is 5-10x larger than the AVIF original

Expected. PNG is lossless — the file size trade-off is the price of pixel-perfect preservation. Use AVIF or WebP if size matters.

PNG transparency doesn't look right

Only if the source AVIF had transparency will PNG preserve it. Photos without alpha stay opaque. Check the source AVIF's transparency flag.

AVIF file won't open in Photoshop CS6

Photoshop CS6 predates AVIF. Convert to PNG or JPG first, then open in CS6.
