What is AVIF?

AVIF stores still images with the AV1 video codec. It is the most efficient mainstream image format available, often halving WebP file sizes while adding HDR and wide-gamut colour.

Published by the Alliance for Open Media in 2019.

  • Best-in-class compression — the smallest files at a given quality
  • 10- and 12-bit colour depth, HDR and wide gamut support
  • Transparency and animation in the same container

What is PNG?

PNG is a lossless raster format built for graphics rather than photographs. Pixels come back out exactly as they went in, and an alpha channel stores per-pixel transparency.

Created in 1996 as a patent-free replacement for GIF.

  • Perfectly lossless — logos, screenshots and UI mockups stay crisp
  • Full 8-bit alpha transparency for overlays and layered artwork
  • Universally supported and safe to re-save as many times as you like

Why convert AVIF to PNG?

  • PNG is the better fit for screenshots, logos, icons and anything that needs transparency or razor-sharp edges, while AVIF is built for cutting-edge web delivery where every kilobyte counts.
  • It sidesteps the main drawback of AVIF: encoding is slow and CPU-hungry compared with JPEG or WebP.
  • You gain perfectly lossless — logos, screenshots and UI mockups stay crisp.
  • Compatibility improves where it counts: Every web browser and operating system and All design tools, office suites and presentation software.

Quality and file size after conversion

Expect the PNG file to be considerably larger. PNG stores everything it is given, so it faithfully preserves the picture AVIF already produced — including any compression artefacts baked in earlier. Converting back and forth cannot restore detail that AVIF discarded.

Compatibility

AVIF opens in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari 16+, macOS Ventura+ and Android 12+ natively, Limited desktop app support — conversion is usually required. PNG opens in Every web browser and operating system, All design tools, office suites and presentation software, Print workflows that accept RGB artwork.

If the file has to work for someone else, choose the format their software already understands rather than the one with the best specification.

Limitations to know about

  • Animation is not preserved — a single frame is exported.
  • Photographs are typically two to five times larger than the JPEG equivalent
  • No native animation (APNG exists but support is inconsistent)

When to keep AVIF instead

AVIF is still the right choice for cutting-edge web delivery where every kilobyte counts. Keep the original alongside the converted copy whenever you might need to re-export at a different size or quality — conversion is quick, but recovering discarded detail is impossible.

Frequently asked questions

Is this AVIF to PNG converter free?

Yes. Every conversion on Convert Always is free, with no account, no watermark and no daily download cap. The site is funded by advertising rather than subscriptions.

Are my AVIF files uploaded to a server?

No. AVIF to PNG runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so the file never leaves your device. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads.

Will converting to PNG reduce the quality?

Expect the PNG file to be considerably larger. PNG stores everything it is given, so it faithfully preserves the picture AVIF already produced — including any compression artefacts baked in earlier. Converting back and forth cannot restore detail that AVIF discarded.

Can I convert several AVIF files at once?

Yes. Add up to 20 files to the queue, convert them in one pass and download the results individually or bundled into a single ZIP archive.

What is the maximum AVIF file size?

Files up to 100 MB each are accepted. Browser-side conversions are limited mainly by your device's memory, so very large video files convert faster on a desktop than on a phone.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The converter is built mobile-first and works in Safari and Chrome on phones and tablets. Heavy media conversions are slower on mobile hardware but still run locally.
