How to Convert AVIF to PNG

  1. Upload your AVIF images by dragging and dropping or clicking the upload area. You can select up to 10 files at once for batch conversion.
  2. Adjust compression level: Choose from 0 (fastest, larger files) to 9 (slowest, smallest files). Default is 6 for a good balance.
  3. Optional resizing: Enable resize to change dimensions by percentage or specific pixel values during conversion.
  4. Convert and download: Click the convert button and download individual files or all as a ZIP archive.
Pro tip: Use our AVIF Analyzer to check your image properties before converting, or try PNG to ICO if you need to create icons from the converted images.

AVIF vs PNG Comparison

AVIF

Modern next-gen format with excellent compression based on AV1 video codec. Supports both lossy and lossless modes, transparency, and HDR. Still gaining browser support but offers 50% smaller files than JPEG at similar quality. Learn more with our AVIF analyzer tool.

PNG

Universal lossless format supported everywhere since the 1990s. Perfect for graphics, screenshots, logos, and any image needing transparency. Larger files than AVIF but 100% compatible. Works great with our icon converter and PNG compressor.

When to Convert AVIF to PNG

Software Compatibility

Many older applications and image editors don't support AVIF yet. Convert to PNG for universal compatibility with tools like older versions of Photoshop or Word.

Sharing Images

When sharing images with others who may not have AVIF-compatible software, PNG ensures everyone can open and view your images.

Print Services

Most print services accept PNG but may not support AVIF. Convert your images before uploading to printing websites.

Further Editing

If you need to edit images in software that doesn't support AVIF, converting to PNG preserves quality for further modifications. Then use our image resizer or cropper.

PNG Compression Levels Explained

0-2

Fast compression. Minimal processing time but larger file sizes. Best when you need quick conversions and storage space isn't a concern.

3-6

Balanced compression. Good tradeoff between speed and file size. Level 6 (default) is recommended for most uses. Works great with our PNG compressor for further optimization.

7-9

Maximum compression. Smallest possible file size but takes longer to process. Ideal for archiving or when bandwidth is critical.

PNG compression is always lossless - all levels produce identical image quality. Only the file size and processing time differ.

Frequently Asked Questions

While AVIF offers superior compression, it's still a relatively new format that isn't supported everywhere. PNG has universal compatibility - every browser, operating system, and image editor supports it. Convert when you need to ensure your images work everywhere, or use our PNG analyzer to verify the output.

If your AVIF was saved with lossy compression, you won't recover lost data. However, our converter preserves all existing quality - no additional degradation occurs. PNG uses lossless compression, so the converted file maintains exactly what was in the AVIF.

Yes, typically PNG files are significantly larger than AVIF because PNG uses lossless compression while AVIF can use very efficient lossy compression. Expect PNG files to be 3-10x larger depending on the image content. If file size is critical, consider using our PNG compressor afterward.

Absolutely! Both AVIF and PNG support full alpha channel transparency. Any transparent or semi-transparent areas in your AVIF images will be perfectly preserved in the PNG output. This makes it ideal for logos and graphics with transparent backgrounds.

As of 2024, AVIF is supported by Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Safari 16+. However, older browsers and many desktop applications still don't support it. If you're working with AVIF images regularly, our AVIF converter tools can help with various format conversions.

Yes, each file can be up to 20MB in size, and you can upload up to 10 files at once for batch conversion. This should cover most use cases. For very large images, consider using the resize option to reduce dimensions first.

Files are temporarily stored only during the conversion process and are automatically deleted within 24 hours. When possible, conversions happen directly in your browser for maximum privacy. We don't keep copies of your images.
