How to Convert AVIF to PNG

1. Drag & drop or select up to 20 AVIF image files from your device.
2. Choose PNG compression level: Default (balanced), Maximum (smallest size), or Fast (quick processing).
3. Enable transparency preservation to maintain alpha channel (recommended for graphics and logos).
4. Optionally remove metadata to reduce file size and protect privacy.
5. Click 'Convert All' to process files instantly in your browser.
6. Download files individually or get all converted PNG images in a single ZIP archive.

AVIF vs. PNG: Complete Comparison

Why Convert AVIF to PNG?

• Universal Compatibility: PNG works on 100% of browsers, devices, operating systems, email clients, and applications. AVIF support is still limited to ~95% of modern browsers and many older systems don't support it at all.
• Lossless Quality: PNG uses lossless compression, meaning zero quality loss during conversion. Every pixel and color detail from your AVIF is preserved perfectly, making PNG ideal when image fidelity is critical.
• Perfect for Editing: PNG is supported by virtually all image editing software (Photoshop, GIMP, Lightroom, Canva, Figma, Sketch, etc.). AVIF support is still growing, limiting editing options across professional tools.
• Transparency Preservation: PNG supports full alpha channel transparency with 256 levels of opacity, preserving semi-transparent effects, smooth edges, and anti-aliasing from AVIF files perfectly.
• Social Media Ready: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and most social platforms fully support PNG uploads and display. AVIF support is limited or non-existent on many social networks.
• Email Client Compatibility: Most email clients (Outlook, older Gmail versions, Apple Mail) cannot render AVIF images. PNG ensures your graphics display consistently across all email platforms.
• Design Workflow: PNG is the standard format for design handoffs, mockups, UI/UX assets, and collaborative projects. Teams can view and edit PNG files without compatibility concerns.
• Third-Party Integration: Many CMS platforms, APIs, e-commerce systems, and third-party services don't yet support AVIF uploads or processing. PNG guarantees smooth integration everywhere.
• Print & Offline Use: Printing services and offline applications prefer PNG for its lossless quality and universal support. AVIF isn't supported by most printers or legacy production workflows.

Understanding AVIF Format

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a cutting-edge image format developed by the Alliance for Open Media, based on the AV1 video codec. Launched in 2019, AVIF represents the next generation of image compression technology, offering significantly better compression efficiency than both JPEG and PNG while maintaining superior visual quality.

AVIF can reduce file sizes by 30-50% compared to JPEG at equivalent quality levels, and up to 50% smaller than WebP. The format supports 10-bit and 12-bit color depth, HDR (High Dynamic Range), wide color gamut, transparency (alpha channel), and even animation. Despite these impressive capabilities, AVIF adoption faces challenges: browser support is still growing (~95% of modern browsers as of 2025), many design applications and tools don't support AVIF editing or processing, older devices struggle with AVIF decoding performance, and legacy systems completely lack AVIF support.

Pro Tips for AVIF to PNG Conversion

• Compression Level Selection: Use Default compression for balanced results. Choose Maximum compression for smallest PNG files when storage or bandwidth matters. Select Fast for quick processing when working with large batches.
• Transparency Preservation: Always enable transparency preservation for logos, icons, graphics, and UI elements with transparent backgrounds. This maintains alpha channel information for clean, professional edges.
• Batch Processing: Convert multiple AVIF files simultaneously using batch mode. Perfect for migrating entire websites, design systems, or image libraries from AVIF to PNG for broader compatibility.
• Quality Expectations: PNG conversion is lossless, meaning you'll get perfect quality every time. The file size will be larger than AVIF, but all image data is preserved without any degradation.
• Metadata Removal: Enable metadata removal to strip EXIF data, camera information, and location data. This reduces file size further and protects privacy before sharing images online.
• Use Case Planning: Keep AVIF for cutting-edge web applications targeting modern browsers where file size is critical. Convert to PNG for social media, design workflows, email marketing, and any scenario requiring maximum compatibility.
• File Size Management: PNG files will be larger than AVIF (typically 2-3x larger). Plan storage accordingly and consider using PNG optimization tools after conversion if file size becomes an issue.
• Commercial Use: All converted images are yours to use commercially without restrictions, watermarks, or attribution requirements. Use them freely in products, websites, marketing, and business applications.

Common Use Cases

• Design Workflows: Convert AVIF assets to PNG for seamless editing in Photoshop, GIMP, Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, and other professional design tools that require PNG format for layers and effects.
• Social Media Marketing: Convert AVIF graphics to PNG for Facebook posts, Instagram stories, Twitter images, LinkedIn articles, and Pinterest pins where AVIF support is limited or non-existent.
• Email Campaigns: Convert AVIF images to PNG for email newsletters, marketing campaigns, and email signatures to ensure display reliability across all email clients including Outlook and older versions.
• CMS & WordPress: Convert AVIF to PNG for WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, and other CMS platforms that may have limited AVIF support in themes, plugins, or media libraries.
• E-commerce Platforms: Convert product images from AVIF to PNG for marketplace listings on Amazon, eBay, Shopify, WooCommerce, and Etsy where transparency and universal compatibility are essential.
• UI/UX Design: Convert AVIF icons and interface elements to PNG for app development, website design, and prototyping tools that require PNG format for proper asset handling.
• Legacy Browser Support: Convert AVIF to PNG for websites that need to support older browsers (IE11, older Safari versions) or corporate environments with outdated systems.
• Print Production: Convert AVIF to PNG for business cards, flyers, brochures, and promotional materials sent to print services that require lossless formats like PNG or TIFF.
• Client Deliverables: Convert AVIF to PNG when delivering final assets to clients who may not have software supporting AVIF format, ensuring they can view and use files immediately.
• Archiving & Backup: Convert AVIF to PNG for long-term archiving and backup to ensure future accessibility with lossless quality, regardless of future format support changes.

PNG Format Advantages

• Lossless Compression: PNG preserves every pixel perfectly without any quality degradation, making it ideal for graphics, logos, screenshots, and images where quality cannot be compromised.
