What is AVIF, and why convert it?
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a cutting-edge image format derived from the AV1 video codec. It is remarkably space-efficient and can hold high dynamic range and transparency, which is why it is gaining traction on the web. But being new comes with a downside: most desktop editors, image viewers and creative tools still cannot open an .avif file, and many will simply show an error. When you need to edit, retouch or archive an AVIF rather than just view it in a browser, the lack of support gets in the way. Converting to PNG hands you a file that almost every program can read and work with.
Why convert AVIF to PNG?
PNG is lossless and broadly supported, so it is the right target whenever fidelity and editability matter more than file size. Convert AVIF to PNG when you want to:
- Edit without further loss, since PNG preserves every pixel through repeated saves.
- Keep transparency that the AVIF carries, thanks to PNG's alpha channel.
- Open the image in older or specialised software that has no AVIF decoder.
- Archive a dependable master you can re-export to any format down the road.
If you only need a small, easy-to-share file rather than a lossless one, AVIF to JPG produces lighter results.
AVIF vs PNG vs JPG
| Format | Compression | File size | Transparency | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PNG | Lossless | Large | Yes | Editing, graphics, archiving |
| AVIF | Lossy or lossless | Smallest | Yes | Modern web delivery |
| JPG | Lossy | Small | No | Universal sharing |
How to batch convert AVIF to PNG
- Drag your .avif images into the box above, or click to select many at once.
- Each file is decoded in your browser and re-saved as a lossless PNG — there is no quality setting because PNG retains full detail on its own.
- Download each PNG, or click Download all to save the entire batch as a ZIP.
Common jobs this tool helps finish
- An AVIF graphic with a transparent background you need to drop into a layered design.
- Web images saved as AVIF that your editor cannot open for retouching.
- Source files headed for archiving where lossless fidelity matters.
- Bulk-converting an AVIF folder into edit-ready PNGs for a wider toolset.
Is it private?
Yes. AVIF files are decoded and re-encoded to PNG entirely inside your browser, so your images are never uploaded to a server and never stored by us. Unlike most online converters, nothing about your files travels off your device.

Frequently asked questions
Is transparency preserved when converting AVIF to PNG?
Yes. PNG supports a full alpha channel, so any transparent areas in the AVIF stay transparent in the PNG.
Is the conversion really lossless?
Yes. PNG keeps every pixel without lossy compression, so no new artifacts appear. That is why PNG output has no quality slider.
Why is my PNG bigger than the AVIF?
AVIF is built for extreme compression, while PNG stores the image losslessly. The larger file is the normal trade-off for full fidelity.
Can I batch convert many AVIF files at once?
Yes. Add as many AVIF files as you like and convert the whole set in one pass, then download them together as a ZIP.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your files never leave your device.
