how to convert avif to png
Drop your AVIF file
Drag your AVIF file into the drop zone above, or click the box to pick a file from your computer or phone. The browser reads the file directly — nothing uploads.
Click Convert
The page runs Canvas API on your device to decode the AV1 Image File Format and encode it as Portable Network Graphics. Most conversions finish in a few seconds; large or codec-heavy files (RAW, video) can take longer.
Download the PNG file
When the conversion finishes, the PNG file is ready to download. Save it anywhere on your device.
FAQ
common questions
Why convert AVIF to PNG specifically?
Three common reasons: (a) you need transparency preserved and PNG is the universal format for that; (b) you're going to re-edit the image and want lossless storage between saves; (c) the receiving app (older Windows photo viewers, design tools, email clients) doesn't open AVIF. PNG is universally supported wherever images appear, at the cost of larger files.
Does transparency from the AVIF survive in the PNG?
Yes. Both AVIF and PNG support a full alpha channel, so any transparent or semi-transparent regions in the source AVIF come through pixel-perfect. UI graphics, logos with translucent shadows, and edited photos with cutout subjects all preserve their alpha cleanly.
Will the PNG be much larger than the AVIF?
Significantly larger — typically 5–10× the size. AVIF uses modern lossy compression that crushes photographic content; PNG stores every pixel without lossy compression and grows file size accordingly. A 500 KB AVIF photo commonly becomes a 3–5 MB PNG. The trade-off for PNG's losslessness is that it isn't size-competitive for photo content.
Will the PNG look identical to the AVIF?
Yes — PNG is lossless. The converter decodes the AVIF once and stores the result byte-perfectly as PNG. Whatever the AVIF rendered to is what the PNG preserves. No second-generation lossy artefacts get added.
What about EXIF / camera metadata?
AVIF can carry EXIF; PNG has no native EXIF block. The converter writes basic metadata (camera, date, orientation where available) into PNG's generic tEXt chunks, but some apps that consume EXIF won't find it there. If preserving GPS or detailed camera metadata is important, JPG is the better target format — it carries EXIF natively.
