Why convert AVIF to PNG

AVIF is great at making small files, but it is still a young format, and not every program knows how to open it. PNG solves that problem in a different way than JPG does. Instead of trading quality for a small size, PNG keeps every pixel exactly as it is. That is what lossless means: when you save a PNG, nothing is discarded. On top of that, PNG is supported by every image editor and viewer worth mentioning, from quick built in viewers to full editing suites. If you have ever opened an AVIF and had an app reject it, converting to PNG is the simplest way to get a file you can actually work with.

PNG also keeps transparency, which matters if your AVIF carries see through areas. Logos, icons, cut out product shots, and overlays all rely on a transparent background, and PNG preserves that alpha channel cleanly. This makes PNG the right pick when you plan to edit the image or layer it over different backgrounds. The one thing to keep in mind is size. Because PNG stores everything without lossy compression, the result will be larger than the original AVIF, sometimes by a wide margin. If a smaller file matters more than transparency or perfect quality, JPG is the better target. But when you want a clean, editable, widely supported copy, PNG is the format to choose.

Bit depth: what changes and what does not

AVIF can hold 10 or 12 bits per colour channel. The PNG this converter produces uses 8 bits per channel, because that is what browsers work with when they draw an image. For ordinary photos and graphics, 8 bits is what you were seeing on screen anyway, so nothing visible changes. For HDR images or high bit depth editing, it is a real reduction.

Transparency comes through intact

AVIF supports transparency and so does PNG. Transparent and semi transparent areas convert exactly, which makes this the right converter for logos and cut out images delivered as AVIF.

Measured: how much bigger the PNG gets

AVIF is lossy and extremely efficient, while PNG stores every pixel exactly. Across twelve of the illustrations used on this site, PNG files came to about eleven times the size of AVIF files of good quality. Choose PNG when you need a lossless master or transparency, and AVIF to JPG when you only need to open or share the image.

Frequently asked questions

Why convert AVIF to PNG?+
PNG is lossless, so nothing is thrown away when the file is saved, and every image editor supports it. If an app refuses to open your AVIF, or you want to edit the image without losing quality, PNG is a reliable target.
Does PNG keep transparency?+
Yes. PNG supports a full alpha channel, so any transparent areas your AVIF carries are preserved in the PNG. This makes it a good choice for logos, icons, and graphics with see through backgrounds.
Will the PNG be larger than the AVIF?+
Almost always. AVIF is built to make very small files, while PNG stores every pixel without lossy compression. Expect the PNG to be noticeably bigger, which is the normal trade for lossless quality and wide support.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?+
No. The AVIF is decoded and converted inside your browser. Your file never leaves your device, so there is no upload and nothing stored on a server.
When should I pick JPG instead?+
Choose JPG when you want a smaller file and do not need transparency, for example a plain photo you plan to share or upload. Choose PNG when you want lossless quality or need to keep transparent areas.
Does the PNG keep full HDR quality?+
No. The PNG uses 8 bits per channel, so HDR and extra colour depth are reduced. Standard images show no visible difference.
Is transparency kept?+
Yes. Transparent and partly transparent areas convert exactly.
Why is the PNG so large?+
PNG stores every pixel losslessly. In our measurement PNG files were about eleven times the size of good quality AVIF files.
