How to convert AVIF to PNG
AVIF is a modern image format derived from the AV1 video codec. It achieves smaller file sizes than JPEG or WebP at similar visual quality, which is why web developers use it for page performance. The tradeoff is compatibility: older software, many design tools, and some operating system image viewers do not support AVIF yet. Converting to PNG gives you a widely compatible format that every graphics application and browser handles without issues.
This converter decodes the AVIF image directly in your browser. The image is never uploaded to a server, no account is required, and there is no file size limit imposed by a server-side restriction. PNG uses lossless compression, so no pixel data is lost in the conversion; you get an exact raster copy of what the AVIF contained.
Upload the AVIF file
Drag your .avif file onto the converter or click to browse. The file stays in your browser and is never sent to a server.
Review the preview
Most browsers can preview AVIF natively. Check that the image looks correct, especially for images with HDR or wide color gamut content that may be tone-mapped to standard color space.
Convert to PNG
The WebAssembly decoder reads the AVIF bitstream and produces uncompressed pixel data, which is then written as a PNG file with standard lossless compression.

Save the file. PNG files from high-resolution AVIF sources can be large since PNG does not apply lossy compression; the tradeoff for exact pixel fidelity.
Frequently asked questions
Will the PNG be larger than the AVIF?
Almost certainly. AVIF uses lossy compression that typically achieves 50 to 80 percent smaller files than PNG at similar visual quality. PNG is lossless, so the pixels are preserved exactly but the file size grows.
Does AVIF support transparency, and will it carry over to PNG?
Yes, AVIF supports an alpha channel for transparency. The converter preserves the alpha channel in the PNG output, so transparent areas in the AVIF remain transparent in the PNG.
Is the image uploaded to your servers?
No. The conversion happens entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly. Your image never leaves your device.
What about HDR or wide-gamut AVIF images?
Standard PNG is an 8-bit-per-channel format with sRGB color space. If your AVIF uses HDR or a wide color gamut (like Display P3), the converter performs a color space conversion to sRGB during the process. Some subtle color differences may appear in out-of-gamut areas.
Why would I use PNG instead of JPEG for the output?
PNG is lossless, which matters when you need to edit the image further, use it as a layer in a design, or need hard pixel-level accuracy. If you just need a web-compatible image and file size matters, converting AVIF to JPEG instead will produce a much smaller file.
