AVIF to PNG decodes a next-gen image into a lossless graphic that older editors and print tools can open without AVIF support.
What changes when you convert AVIF to PNG
PNG is lossless, so no additional quality is thrown away during the conversion. It cannot recover detail your AVIF already compressed away, but the PNG output will be a faithful, edit-friendly copy — expect a larger file.
About the AVIF format
AVIF often beats WebP and JPG on file size at the same visual quality, and it supports HDR, wide colour, and transparency. Browser support is now broad, though some older desktop apps still cannot open it. In everyday use, AVIF is chosen for high-efficiency web images, HDR and wide-gamut photography online and replacing large JPGs to cut bandwidth. It opens in modern browsers and recent operating systems.
About the PNG format
PNG uses lossless compression, so it never discards pixel data, and it supports an 8-bit alpha channel for smooth transparency. That makes it the standard choice for logos, icons, UI screenshots, and any graphic with crisp edges or text. In everyday use, PNG is chosen for logos, icons, and UI elements, screenshots with text and sharp edges and graphics that need transparent backgrounds. It opens in all browsers, Windows Photos, macOS Preview, and every graphics editor.
AVIF vs PNG
AVIF is best known for best-in-class compression efficiency, while PNG stands out for lossless quality with no compression artefacts. Choosing between them comes down to where the file needs to go next.
Common use cases
People convert AVIF to PNG for jobs such as logos, icons, and UI elements, screenshots with text and sharp edges and graphics that need transparent backgrounds. It is especially common when a AVIF file arrives from one system but needs to work in another that standardises on PNG.
When to convert AVIF to PNG
Reach for AVIF to PNG when your destination expects PNG — for example logos, icons, and UI elements, screenshots with text and sharp edges and graphics that need transparent backgrounds. It is the right move when you receive a AVIF file but the app, website, or person you are working with cannot use it. Bear in mind that much larger than JPG or WebP for photographs, so keep your original AVIF if you might need it again.
How to convert AVIF to PNG
- Upload your AVIF file to the converter at the top of this page - PNG is already selected as the output.
- Check the size limit shown on this page, then drag and drop or browse for your file.
- Confirm PNG is still the target format, or pick a different one from the grid.
- Start the conversion and download your PNG file the moment it is ready.
Quality tips
Always start from the largest, highest-quality AVIF you have. If PNG still needs to fit a size or pixel budget, run the result through our Compress or Resize tools rather than re-saving repeatedly, which degrades quality.
Platform compatibility
The AVIF to PNG converter runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS - anywhere with a modern browser, with no plugins or permissions required. Once exported, PNG opens in all browsers, Windows Photos, macOS Preview, and every graphics editor.

Troubleshooting
- PNG is lossless, but it cannot rebuild detail that AVIF already discarded. Expect a larger file at the same visible quality, not a sharper one.
- If the file exceeds the limit shown below, compress images, trim video, or split archives before retrying.
- If conversion fails, confirm the extension matches the real format — renaming a file alone does not change its contents.
- SVG and HEIC inputs sometimes need a moment longer on the first conversion.
- Transparency does not survive every target format — use PNG or WebP if an alpha channel matters.
