To convert AVIF to PNG, add your .avif files to the AVIF to PNG converter and download the PNGs. Transparent areas stay transparent, the image keeps its dimensions, and the PNG opens in editors and apps that do not understand AVIF.
Your browser decodes the AVIF, so use a current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari.

Why choose PNG over JPG?
PNG keeps transparency and sharp edges, which matters for logos, stickers, icons and screenshots. JPG fills transparent areas with white and is better only for photos. The choice is explained in AVIF to PNG or JPG; for photos, AVIF to JPG gives smaller files.
How transparency carries over
AVIF supports a full alpha channel, so edges can be partly transparent, as with soft shadows. PNG stores that alpha channel exactly. More on this in AVIF transparency and PNG.
When AVIF to PNG is the right choice
- Stickers, cut-out product photos and logos with transparent backgrounds.
- Editing in an app that does not support AVIF, without adding JPG compression.
- Documents and slides, where PNG is accepted everywhere.
- Screenshots or graphics with text that must stay sharp.
Keeping PNG files manageable
PNG files are often several times larger than the AVIF originals, especially for photos. If the image is for a website, consider keeping it as AVIF or WebP. If you need PNG but the file is too big, reduce its dimensions with the Image Resizer; halving width and height cuts the pixel count by three quarters.
For photos without transparency, AVIF to JPG gives much smaller files.
Browser requirements
The conversion uses your browser's own AVIF decoder. Chrome 85 and later, Firefox 93 and later, Safari 16 and later and Edge 121 and later can decode AVIF. If the preview stays blank or the conversion fails, update your browser or try another one. On older iPhones and Macs that cannot be updated to Safari 16, use Chrome or Firefox if available.
