Why convert AVIF to PNG?
AVIF files are great for websites but still unsupported in many apps. Converting AVIF to PNG gives you a lossless image that any editor, presentation tool or design program can open, and it keeps transparent backgrounds, which makes it the right choice for logos, icons, stickers and graphics.
- You need to edit an AVIF graphic in a program that does not support the format.
- The image has a transparent background that you want to keep.
- You want a lossless copy for design work or further editing.
Graphics and photos give very different results
For a logo, icon or sticker, PNG is a comfortable home. Our transparent test logo went from 7 KB as AVIF to 52 KB as PNG, still tiny, and both fully and partly transparent areas came through intact, so soft shadows and anti-aliased edges look right on any background.
Photos are another story. Three AVIF photos 1600 pixels wide, between 78 KB and 172 KB, turned into PNGs of 2.6 MB to 3.4 MB, between 18 and 40 times heavier. The heavier the AVIF compression was, the bigger the jump, because PNG must record every pixel while AVIF had described the picture in a very compact way.
Getting the most out of the PNG
- Use it as an editing copy: layer it in a design program, recolor it or place it on a slide, then export the final version in whatever format the destination needs.
- If the image came from a website, check its width and height. Sites often serve AVIF at exactly the size shown on screen, which may be too small for a poster or a large print.
- For a photo you only want to view or share, the PNG brings no visible benefit over a JPG and costs a lot more space.
Tips for the best result
- PNG files are often much larger than AVIF, especially for photos. For photos you just want to share, AVIF to JPG gives a lighter file.
- Converting to PNG keeps the image exactly as it is, but it cannot restore detail that the AVIF compression removed.
- Animated AVIF files are converted using their first frame.
- Keep the original AVIF if you may need a light copy again. Turning the PNG back into a lossy format later would compress the picture a second time.
About these formats
AVIF: A new, very efficient image format used by many websites. Files are tiny, but a lot of editors, apps and upload forms do not accept it yet.
PNG: A lossless image format that keeps every pixel sharp and supports transparent backgrounds. Great for screenshots, logos and graphics.
Frequently asked questions
Does AVIF to PNG keep transparency?
Yes. PNG supports transparency, so transparent areas stay transparent.
Why is the PNG bigger than the AVIF?
AVIF uses very efficient lossy compression, while PNG stores every pixel without loss. The same picture takes more space as a PNG.
Which should I choose, PNG or JPG?
PNG for graphics, screenshots and anything with transparency. JPG for photos you want to keep small.
Why are the edges of my converted sticker slightly blurry?
That softness was already in the AVIF. Lossy AVIF compression smooths fine edges to save space, and PNG preserves the image exactly as it was decoded, without sharpening it again.
How many AVIF files can I convert at once, and how large?
Up to 20 files per batch, each up to 100 MB. Every file gets its own PNG to download, and results stay available for 30 minutes.
