Convert AVIF to PNG Online — Lossless Conversion Free
Convert AVIF images to lossless PNG format for editing, printing, or compatibility with software that doesn't yet support AVIF. The conversion preserves every pixel from the decoded AVIF without additional compression loss, making PNG the ideal target when you need to edit or process the image further. All processing runs locally in your browser — your files never leave your device.
Why Convert AVIF to PNG?
PNG is the ideal target format when you need to edit an AVIF image in software that doesn't support AVIF input. Since PNG is lossless, subsequent saves won't degrade quality — unlike converting to JPEG where each re-save introduces more compression artifacts. This makes AVIF to PNG the best conversion for editing workflows. PNG also has truly universal software support. Every image editor from Photoshop to MS Paint, every operating system, and every design tool can open PNG files. AVIF, despite its excellent compression, still has gaps in desktop software support — especially in older application versions and specialized tools. For print production, PNG is the standard for raster images when TIFF isn't required. Print services that don't accept AVIF will universally accept PNG. The lossless quality ensures your print output matches what you see on screen. The tradeoff is file size. AVIF's compression is remarkably efficient, so the PNG will be substantially larger. A 100KB AVIF photo might become 1-3MB as PNG. This is the expected cost of lossless quality and universal compatibility.
How It Works
Upload your AVIF file. The browser decodes the AVIF image — either using native browser support (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) or a WASM-based fallback decoder. The decoded pixels are then exported as a lossless PNG via the Canvas API. The first decode may take a moment while the WASM module loads (if your browser needs the fallback). Subsequent conversions are faster since the module is cached in memory. All metadata is stripped automatically during conversion. The resulting PNG preserves every pixel from the decoded AVIF at full quality, with clean metadata ready for editing, printing, or sharing.
All Supported Formats
While this page is optimized for AVIF to PNG conversion, our universal image converter supports all major formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, AVIF, JPEG XL, TIFF, SVG, BMP, and GIF. All conversions run 100% in your browser with automatic metadata stripping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the PNG be much larger?
Yes. AVIF's compression is far more efficient than PNG's lossless compression. A 100KB AVIF photo might become 1-3MB as PNG. For graphics with flat colors, the difference is smaller. This size increase is the expected tradeoff for lossless quality and universal compatibility with every software application.
Is any quality lost?
No additional quality is lost during the conversion. The PNG captures every pixel from the decoded AVIF exactly as-is. Any quality limitations in the output are from the original AVIF encoding (if it was lossy AVIF), not from the conversion process itself.
Is this AVIF to PNG converter safe?
Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser — your files are never uploaded to any server. We have zero access to your images. This is especially important for sensitive or proprietary images that you don't want stored on third-party servers.
Can I convert multiple AVIF files to PNG at once?
Yes. Batch mode supports up to 5 files for free users and up to 10 for Pro users. All converted PNG files can be downloaded individually or as a ZIP archive. Be aware that PNG files are significantly larger than AVIF, so batch downloads can be quite sizeable.
Does AVIF to PNG preserve transparency?
Yes. If your AVIF image has transparency (alpha channel), it is fully preserved in the PNG output. Both formats support full alpha channel transparency, so the conversion is seamless. This makes it ideal for converting transparent AVIF graphics to a more widely supported format.
When should I convert AVIF to PNG vs AVIF to JPG?
Convert to PNG when you need lossless quality, plan to edit the image further, need transparency, or require pixel-perfect accuracy. Convert to JPG when you want the smallest possible file and don't need transparency or lossless quality. PNG files are larger but preserve every pixel perfectly.
