How to convert AVIF to PNG
- Drop in your images. Supported image formats can go in together — there is no need to sort them by format first.
- Tick the ones you want in this round. Everything you add starts selected; untick anything you want to skip.
- Choose Export as — it starts on PNG — PNG has no options to set.
- Press Export. One file downloads directly; two or more arrive as a single ZIP.
Your files stay in the workspace after an export. Change the selection, switch the output format, and export again — you never re-upload.
PNG is the one that keeps transparency
This is the main reason to pick PNG over JPG for an AVIF. Icons, logos, UI assets, screenshots with rounded corners, product shots cut out from their background — anything whose transparent areas are part of the picture needs a format that can store them, and JPG cannot. PNG can, so the transparent parts come out transparent and there is no background colour to choose.
PNG is also the safer choice when the image is going to be edited further. It stores the decoded pixels exactly as they are, and re-saving a PNG does not degrade it the way re-saving a JPG does.
Expect the file to get bigger
- No quality setting. PNG is lossless as a format, so there is nothing to trade off and nothing to get wrong.
- No background colour. PNG supports transparency, so nothing has to be painted behind the image.
- Need a smaller file and no transparency? JPG is in the same dropdown. Need both smaller and transparent? Try WebP.
It is worth saying plainly rather than burying it. AVIF is a modern format built to make images small; PNG stores every pixel exactly and has no quality dial to turn down. A photograph converted from AVIF to PNG is routinely several times the size of the file it came from, and that is the two formats working as designed rather than anything going wrong.
Where PNG holds its own is the flat-graphics case: interface screenshots, logos, diagrams, anything with large areas of a single colour. If the result is larger than you want and transparency is not the point, JPG and WebP are both in the same dropdown.
What this page supports
- Input: AVIF — plus JPG, PNG, WebP and BMP if you want to mix them into the same batch.
- Output: PNG by default; JPG and WebP are one dropdown away. AVIF itself cannot be exported here — it is a format this page reads, not one it writes.
- Transparency: kept. Transparent pixels in the AVIF stay transparent in the PNG.
- What lossless means here: PNG stores the pixels your browser decoded out of the AVIF exactly. It does not undo compression the AVIF had already applied — nothing can.
- Metadata: EXIF, ICC colour profiles, GPS coordinates and capture dates are not carried over. Keep the original file if you need them.
- Batch: files are processed one at a time so memory stays predictable; duplicate output names are numbered automatically.
- Size: no fixed limit is imposed. The practical ceiling is your device's memory.
Reading an AVIF is something your browser does, so a browser too old to decode the format will mark those files as failed. If that happens, the rest of the batch still converts — one file that cannot be read does not stop the others.
Questions
Are my images uploaded?
No. Everything happens inside your browser tab: files are read from disk into memory, redrawn, and re-encoded locally. Nothing is sent to a server, and there is no server-side copy to delete afterwards. You can watch the network panel while you convert — it stays quiet.
Is transparency kept?
Yes. PNG has a transparency channel and the exported file uses it, so transparent areas of the AVIF stay transparent — no white box appears behind the image. That is the main difference from exporting the same file as JPG, which has to fill those areas with a solid colour.
Will this improve the quality of my AVIF?
No. Whatever detail the AVIF had already discarded is gone, and no conversion can reconstruct it. PNG stores the decoded pixels exactly as they are. What it gives you is a file that will not degrade further when you edit and re-save it.
Why is my PNG so much bigger than the AVIF?
Because that is the trade the two formats make. AVIF throws detail away to get small; PNG keeps every pixel and cannot. For photographs the difference is often several times over. If size matters more than storing every pixel, export as WebP or JPG instead — both are in the same dropdown.
Can I convert a PNG back to AVIF here?
No. This page reads AVIF and writes PNG, JPG or WebP; there is no AVIF output. If you want a smaller file that still keeps transparency, WebP is the option in the same dropdown.
Can I convert a whole folder at once?
Yes. Add as many files as you like, tick the ones you want in this round, and export — one file downloads directly, two or more arrive as a single ZIP. Your files stay in the workspace afterwards, so you can change the selection or the output format and export again without re-adding anything.
