AVIF to PNG Converter
Convert AVIF images to PNG when you need lossless quality and full transparency support, ideal for graphic design and editing software that doesn't read AVIF.
Lossless output
PNG uses lossless compression so the converted image is pixel-perfect with no JPEG-style artefacts.
Transparency preserved
Unlike JPG, PNG keeps the alpha channel of your AVIF source intact, which matters for icons and overlays.
Wide editor support
Photoshop, Figma, Sketch and almost every editor reads PNG natively, while AVIF support is still partial.
Real-world size comparison
Typical output sizes when converting AVIF images to lossless PNG. Files are larger because PNG uses lossless compression.
| Image type | Source | Output | Saved |
|---|---|---|---|
| Icon with transparency 512×512 | 18 KB (AVIF) | 120 KB (PNG) | +567% |
| Screenshot 1440×900 | 65 KB (AVIF) | 850 KB (PNG) | +1208% |

When to convert, when to keep the original
Convert when
- You need to edit the image in software that does not read AVIF
- You need lossless quality for archiving or design work
- You need transparency and the target tool requires PNG
- You are uploading to a CMS that does not accept AVIF
Keep the original when
- You are serving images on the web (keep AVIF for smaller files)
- File size is a concern (PNG is much heavier)
- The image has no transparency and you just need compatibility (use JPG instead)
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I convert AVIF to PNG?
Convert when you need transparency, when working in a tool that does not support AVIF, or when archiving an image without quality loss.
Will the PNG be larger than the AVIF?
Almost certainly yes. AVIF achieves much higher compression than PNG. The trade-off is universal compatibility and lossless quality.
Does it keep the alpha channel?
Yes. Transparency from the AVIF source is preserved in the PNG output.
