Why Convert AVIF to PNG?

AVIF offers excellent compression for web delivery, but app support outside browsers is still limited. Many image editors, print services, design tools, and document platforms do not accept AVIF files yet.

Converting to PNG gives you a file that works in every application on every platform. PNG uses lossless compression, so the conversion preserves the decoded image exactly as displayed. Expect the file to be significantly larger than the AVIF source, since PNG does not use the same aggressive compression.

What is AVIF?

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) was developed by the Alliance for Open Media in 2019. It is based on the AV1 video codec and delivers up to 50% smaller files than JPEG at equivalent visual quality. AVIF supports lossy and lossless compression, transparency, HDR, wide color gamuts, and animation. Browser support includes Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, and Safari 16+. Encoding is slower than JPEG or WebP, but the file size savings are substantial.

What is PNG?

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless image format created in 1996 as a patent-free alternative to GIF. It supports full-color images with an alpha channel for transparency. PNG files preserve every pixel exactly, which makes them ideal for screenshots, logos, UI elements, and graphics with sharp text. The trade-off is file size: PNG images are typically 3-5x larger than equivalent JPG files for photographic content.

Secure Server-Side Processing

Your AVIF files are processed on our secure server using Sharp, a high-performance image processing library, and temporarily stored. Files are automatically deleted within 1 hour. Server-side processing ensures accurate AVIF decoding that may not be available in all browsers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why convert AVIF to PNG?

Many image editors, print services, and platforms do not support AVIF yet. Converting to PNG gives you a file that works everywhere, from Photoshop to Google Docs to a professional print shop.

Will quality be lost in the conversion?

No new quality loss occurs. If the source AVIF was lossy, those compression choices carry over, but the PNG output preserves the decoded image exactly. Lossless AVIF converts to PNG with zero quality change.

Will the file size increase?

Yes, significantly. PNG files can be 3-10x larger than AVIF because PNG lacks the advanced compression of AVIF. A 100KB AVIF photo might become 500KB-1MB as a PNG.

Is the conversion done on a server?

Yes. AVIF decoding requires specialized processing. Your files are processed on our secure server and automatically deleted within 1 hour.

Does the transparency carry over?

Yes. PNG supports alpha channel transparency, so any transparent areas in your AVIF file are preserved in the PNG output.

Can I batch convert AVIF files?

Yes. You can convert up to 2 files at once with the free tier. Each file processes independently.

What if my AVIF contains HDR data?

PNG does not support HDR. The HDR content will be tone-mapped to standard dynamic range during conversion. For HDR workflows, keep the original AVIF.

Will the image dimensions change?

No. The output PNG has the exact same width and height as the input AVIF. Only the file format and compression method change.
