Why convert AVIF to PNG instead of JPG?

PNG is lossless, so it is the right choice when you need pixel-perfect quality or transparency for further editing rather than a smaller, universally compatible file. Choose JPG only when you want a small photo and do not need transparency.

Will the PNG be much bigger than the AVIF?

Yes, often several times larger, since AVIF is a highly compressed modern format and PNG stores image data without any lossy compression. That larger size is the trade-off for universal compatibility and lossless editing.

Does the PNG keep the AVIF's transparency?

Yes. PNG has a full alpha channel, so a transparent background in the AVIF stays transparent in the PNG, which is ideal for logos, icons and overlays you will place on other images.

Where can I use a PNG that would not open an AVIF?

Older image editors, office software, some chat apps and content systems still cannot read AVIF, while PNG opens virtually everywhere, so it is the safe universal choice for sharing or embedding.

Does converting to PNG improve the quality?

No. Lossless conversion preserves exactly what was decoded from the AVIF; it cannot restore any detail that the AVIF's lossy compression already discarded, it only prevents further loss.

What happens if the AVIF is animated?

PNG is a single still image, so only the first frame is kept. Convert AVIF to WebP or to GIF instead if you need to preserve the animation.

Can I convert several AVIF files to PNG at once?

Yes. Add a whole folder of AVIF files and each becomes its own PNG in a single pass, with nothing merged and no limit on the number of files.

About AVIF and PNG

Key things to know before you convert AVIF to PNG:

AVIF

AVIF is the most efficient mainstream image format, built on the AV1 codec: about half the size of JPG. Supports HDR, transparency and animation. Encoding is slower and tool support is still maturing.

PNG

PNG is the lossless standard for web graphics: screenshots, logos, UI elements and anything with transparency. Pixel-perfect every time, but photos in PNG are 3-10x larger than JPG.
