AVIF to PNG Converter

Turn AVIF images into lossless PNG files with the transparency kept - for smaller photos pick AVIF to JPG instead.

How to convert AVIF to PNG

  1. Add your AVIF files. Drop up to 50 AVIF images into the box, or browse for them. Your browser decodes them - nothing is uploaded.
  2. Pick a PNG type. Standard is lossless and quick, Smallest packs the same pixels tighter, 8-bit makes tiny files. The PNG size shown is measured from the real file.
  3. Adjust if you like. Keep or fill transparency, resize or rename the files. Animated AVIF? Tick the frames you want under the preview.
  4. Convert and download. Press Convert to PNG. One or two files download directly, more than two come as a ZIP.

Want the PNG as a Windows or website icon next? Drop it into the PNG to ICO converter, or go straight to AVIF to ICO.

Why AVIF files will not open

AVIF is new, and a lot of software has not caught up yet.

Windows Photos needs the AV1 Video Extension, and older Photoshop, Office and most print shops cannot read it at all.

PNG opens everywhere and keeps every pixel, so it is the safest copy to edit or archive. Just want a look? Use the AVIF Viewer.

Need the PNG back as AVIF later? PNG to AVIF keeps the transparency. Test files are in the AVIF sample files.

Transparency and animated AVIF

  • Transparency - see-through areas stay see-through in the PNG. Pick Fill background for a solid colour instead.
  • Animated AVIF - every frame shows up under the preview. Tick one, several or all, and each becomes its own PNG (as a ZIP when there are many).
  • Want it to keep moving? PNG cannot animate - use AVIF to GIF for an animated GIF.

Tips for smaller, better PNGs

  • Expect a bigger file. AVIF is one of the most compact formats there is, while PNG keeps every pixel - so a PNG is usually several times larger.
  • Logos and stickers? Smallest or 8-bit often shrink them a lot with no visible change.
  • Photos? AVIF to JPG or AVIF to WebP make far smaller files.
  • Still too big? Run the result through Compress PNG.
