How to convert AVIF to PNG

MMaximum compatibility matters (old Safari, IE), or you need the file in an editor that doesn't support AVIF. You need transparency, exact quality, or are working with graphics or screenshots.

A next-generation format based on the AV1 video codec, released in 2019. Compresses even further than WebP — typically 30-50% smaller than JPG at the same visual quality. Adopted by Netflix, YouTube, and increasingly by big sites for performance-critical images.

• —Sites obsessed with Core Web Vitals
• —Hero images and heavy banners
• —E-commerce where latency hits conversion
• —Content distributed over bandwidth-limited networks

A lossless-compressed image format created in 1996 as a free alternative to GIF. Supports per-pixel transparency through an alpha channel, keeps exact quality, and is the standard for graphics, icons, screenshots, and any image with text or flat color areas.

• —Images with transparency (logos, icons)
• —Screenshots and screen captures
• —Graphics, diagrams, infographics with text
• —Material that will be edited multiple times (quality preserved)

1. Upload the file

Drag your AVIF file into the upload area, or click to select it from your computer. You can upload several files at once — they'll be converted in batch.

2. Check the quality setting

PNG has adjustable quality in most cases. Leave it at 85-90% for the best size/quality balance. For professional material, bump it to 95-100%.

3. Click convert and download

Processing is near-instant (seconds per image) because it happens right in your browser. When it's done, download each file individually or all together as a ZIP.

Before converting, it's worth understanding what each format brings to the table:

AVIF — best for:

• —Sites obsessed with Core Web Vitals
• —Hero images and heavy banners
• —E-commerce where latency hits conversion
• —Content distributed over bandwidth-limited networks

AVIF — limitations:

• —Support still smaller than WebP on very old browsers
• —Slower encoding (but fast decoding)
• —Editors and design tools still catching up

PNG — best for:

• —Images with transparency (logos, icons)
• —Screenshots and screen captures
• —Graphics, diagrams, infographics with text
• —Material that will be edited multiple times (quality preserved)

PNG — limitations:

• —Files significantly larger than JPG or WebP
• —Not ideal for photos (less efficient compression)
• —No animation support (use APNG or GIF)

Typical scenarios where this conversion solves a real problem:

• —Sites obsessed with Core Web Vitals
• —Hero images and heavy banners
• —Images with transparency (logos, icons)
• —Screenshots and screen captures
