How to Convert AVIF to PNG Online

Three steps, fully local, opens any AVIF in any tool.

Drop your AVIFs

Drag AVIF files (up to 100 at once). All variants supported: still, animated, with or without alpha.

Export as PNG

PNG is lossless, every pixel of the AVIF is preserved exactly, including transparency.

Download PNG / ZIP

Single file as .png, multiple as ZIP. Now opens in Photoshop CS6, GIMP, Word 2010, Windows Photo Viewer, every editor.

Built for Editing, Compatibility and Transparency

When AVIF's compression isn't worth the compatibility headache.

Lossless Output

PNG preserves every pixel of the AVIF. No quality drop, no artefacts added, bit-perfect transcoding.

Alpha Channel Preserved

Transparency in the source AVIF carries through to PNG exactly. Logos, icons, sprites, all keep their transparent areas.

Bulk Conversion

Up to 100 AVIF files in one batch. Drop a whole folder, all convert and download as a ZIP.

Total Privacy

Files never leave your browser. WebAssembly libavif decodes locally, verifiable in DevTools.

Fast Processing

AVIF decoding is computationally heavier than JPG, but still completes in 0.5-1 sec per image. Bulk of 50 takes about a minute.

No Sign-Up, No Watermark

Free forever. Output PNG drops straight into Photoshop, Word, PowerPoint, or any image viewer.

AVIF to PNG: When You Need Both Lossless AND Compatible

AVIF is small but unsupported. PNG is universal but heavy. Here's the trade.

When converting AVIF to PNG is the right move

Re-editing: AVIF can be re-saved with quality loss in some tools; PNG is universally lossless. Photoshop CS6 / GIMP 2.x / Office workflows: AVIF support is patchy or nonexistent in older tools, PNG just works. Print pipelines: PNG is universally accepted; AVIF often isn't. Transparency-critical assets: both formats support alpha, but PNG's alpha is universally readable; AVIF's might be silently flattened in older converters.

Re-editing, legacy tools, print, transparency, these all need PNG.

The file size cost

AVIF compresses 50% better than JPG and ~70% better than PNG for typical photographs. Converting AVIF to PNG typically grows the file 3-5×. That's the price of compatibility, accept it for legacy workflows, avoid it for web delivery (use AVIF or WebP for web, PNG only for editing pipelines).

PNG = 3-5× heavier than AVIF. Worth it for editing, never for web.

Transparency and alpha precision

AVIF and PNG both support full 8-bit alpha channels. Transparency is preserved bit-perfectly during conversion. The only edge case: AVIF's HDR mode (10/12-bit) gets tone-mapped to PNG's 8-bit space. For 99% of AVIFs (which are 8-bit), this is irrelevant.

8-bit AVIF → PNG = perfect alpha preservation.

Privacy: why local matters

AVIFs you save while browsing modern websites often contain unreleased product imagery (sites optimise heavily for AVIF). Uploading to a converter could expose what you're researching. Our tool runs locally via WebAssembly, verifiable in DevTools, no outgoing payload.

Saved AVIFs stay private when conversion is local.

AVIF to PNG, Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about the tool

How do I convert AVIF to PNG online for free?

Drop your AVIF files here. The tool decodes via libavif WebAssembly and exports as lossless PNG. Bulk supports up to 100 files. No upload, no sign-up, no watermark.

Will the PNG be larger than the AVIF?

Yes, typically 3-5× larger. AVIF achieved its smaller size through aggressive modern compression; PNG is lossless and necessarily heavier. This is the cost of compatibility, accept it for editing pipelines and legacy tools.

Does converting AVIF to PNG keep transparency?

Yes, fully. Both formats support 8-bit alpha channels, so transparent areas in the AVIF source remain transparent in the PNG output, pixel for pixel.

Can I open the resulting PNG in Photoshop CS6?

Yes, that's a primary use case. Photoshop CS6 (and earlier) can't open AVIF, but reads PNG natively. Same for GIMP 2.x, Office 2010-2019, Windows Photo Viewer, and most enterprise software stuck on older versions.

Will I lose quality?

No, PNG is lossless. The conversion preserves every pixel of the AVIF source. The only edge case: AVIF's HDR mode (10/12-bit) gets tone-mapped to PNG's 8-bit space. For standard 8-bit AVIFs (the vast majority), conversion is perfectly bit-accurate.

Can I convert hundreds of AVIFs at once?

Yes, drop up to 100 files at a time. AVIF decoding is heavier than other formats, so bulk of 50 typically takes about a minute. For thousands, run multiple browser tabs in parallel.

Is my AVIF uploaded to your server?

No. Decoding and conversion run entirely in your browser via WebAssembly. The file never leaves your device, no copies are kept, closing the tab erases everything from memory.

Should I convert to PNG or JPG?

PNG if you need transparency or you'll edit further (lossless). JPG if it's a photograph and you just want maximum compatibility with smaller file size. Use AVIF to JPG for the JPG path.
