# AVIF to PNG Converter - Free Online Convert AVIF images to lossless PNG in your browser on ToolComb. ### Input image Choose or drop an image Convert Clear ### Preview & result Converted preview appears here after you choose a file Need another format? Try [WebP to PNG](https://www.toolcomb.com/webp-to-png). After conversion, check dimensions and file size with [Image Size Checker](https://www.toolcomb.com/image-size-checker). ## What this AVIF to PNG converter does AVIF is often used for compact web images, while PNG is widely supported in image editors and can store transparency. Convert an AVIF to PNG when your destination requires PNG or you want to annotate a compatible still image. The conversion happens in your browser. AVIF decoding depends on browser support, and the output can differ in colour or metadata. PNG cannot restore detail already lost in the source. PNG does not guarantee a smaller file. Check the saved image's dimensions, transparency and file size in the application where it will be used. Keep the original AVIF when you need another version. If the destination requires a JPEG instead, use the Image to JPG converter. For a different web format, try Image to WebP, then check the result with Image Size Checker. ## How to convert AVIF to PNG, step by step For a compatible still image, select a file and review the PNG after conversion. 1. **Choose your image** Choose or drop an AVIF image up to 50 MiB. Your browser must be able to open the file. 2. **Convert the image** Select Convert; the PNG download starts when conversion succeeds. 3. **Review the result** Check the saved file's appearance, dimensions and size. Results vary with the source and browser. 4. **Keep the original** PNG supports transparency, but check the saved file in the application where it will be used. ## Worked example: annotating a CDN hero image ### Before A web image saved as AVIF needs to be reviewed in an editor that accepts PNG. ### After Convert the still image, then open the downloaded PNG to check its appearance, dimensions and transparency. Compare file size before sending the PNG; results depend on the source and browser. ## Where AVIF to PNG conversion is actually useful ### 1. Bug reports and visual QA Testers capture the exact asset a browser received and attach a format every issue tracker previews inline. A PNG also lets reviewers zoom to the pixel level without recompression smearing the area they are pointing at. ### 2. Importing into design tools Figma, Sketch, Affinity, and older Adobe releases have uneven AVIF import. Converting to PNG gives you a layer you can mask, recolour, or place into a mock-up without waiting for a plugin or application update. ### 3. Slides and documents Keynote, PowerPoint, Google Slides, and Word accept PNG without ceremony. Marketing teams who only have the web-optimised AVIF of a product shot can paste a PNG into the quarterly deck in seconds. ### 4. Print and signage proofs Print shops and sign makers often specify PNG, TIFF, or PDF for artwork. A PNG derived from a web AVIF is not press quality, but it works as a layout proof while the real master is located. ### 5. Evidence and compliance archives Legal, trust-and-safety, and brand-protection teams record what a page showed on a given date. PNG is lossless and widely readable decades later, which makes it a safer archive container than a codec still being adopted. ### 6. Compression research Developers comparing AV1 encoder settings can decode each candidate to PNG and run pixel-diff or SSIM tools that only accept lossless inputs, without writing an AVIF decoding harness. ### 7. Machine learning datasets Scraped image sets increasingly contain AVIF. Many training and labelling tools expect JPEG or PNG, so a quick local conversion removes the format barrier for small curated batches. ### 8. Accessibility contrast checks Contrast analysers and colour pickers read PNG reliably. Converting a hero background lets you sample exact RGB values behind text, which is difficult when the checking tool cannot open AVIF. ### 9. Email and newsletter builders Many email platforms and some mail clients do not render AVIF, so they restrict uploads to PNG, JPG, and GIF. Converting before upload avoids a broken-image icon in recipients' inboxes. ### 10. Game and app asset prototyping Indie developers experimenting with AVIF textures can inspect the decoded result as PNG and import it into engines whose texture importers only know the classic formats. ## AVIF compared with PNG at a glance The two formats solve different problems. The table lists what you gain and give up when moving pixels from the first into the second. | Property | AVIF (input) | PNG (output) | | --- | --- | --- | | Compression type | Usually lossy, AV1 intra coding; lossless mode exists | Always lossless, DEFLATE with row filters | | Typical photo size | 100 to 400 KB for a 1600 px image | 2 to 6 MB for the same dimensions | | Bit depth | 8, 10, or 12 bits per channel | 8 bits here (PNG allows 16, canvas does not) | | Transparency | Full alpha channel supported | Full 8-bit alpha supported | | HDR and wide gamut | Supported via CICP signalling | Flattened to sRGB-style output | | Animation | Available as AVIS sequences | Single frame only from this tool | | Opens in older editors | Often not | Almost always | | Survives repeated edits | Each lossy save degrades | Re-saving changes nothing | If the destination is a website, keep the AVIF and skip this step. Reach for PNG when the destination is a person, a document, or software that has not learned AV1 yet. ## Limits you should know about - Decoding depends on the browser. If your browser cannot render the AVIF in the preview, it cannot convert it either, and no fallback decoder is bundled. - Output is 8-bit sRGB-style RGBA. 10-bit and 12-bit AVIF files are rounded down, and HDR highlights are tone-mapped by the browser rather than preserved. - Animated AVIF produces one still frame, not a sequence of PNGs and not an APNG. - The upload ceiling is 50 MB per file, and extremely large pixel dimensions can exhaust canvas memory on phones and low-RAM tablets. - EXIF, GPS, XMP, and embedded ICC profiles are not copied into the PNG because the canvas only carries pixel data. - Expect large output. A lossless PNG of a photographic AVIF can be more than ten times the original size, so budget disk space and upload limits accordingly. - One file is converted per run. For hundreds of images, a dedicated batch converter may be more convenient. - Re-saving a lossy AVIF as PNG cannot recover discarded detail. Inspect the result for any changes introduced during conversion. ## Privacy: what stays on your machine The AVIF is opened as a local blob inside the tab. Decoding and PNG encoding both happen in the browser engine, and the resulting file is handed straight to the download manager. Because nothing is posted to an API, this is a reasonable way to handle unreleased campaign art, screenshots of internal dashboards, or customer photos that policy says must not be pasted into third-party converters. Closing the tab discards the in-memory image and any object URLs the page created. If you work on a shared computer, delete the downloaded PNG from the Downloads folder when you are done. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Why convert AVIF to PNG? A PNG copy can be useful when your editor or upload form does not accept AVIF. Check the destination's format requirements first. ### Does conversion improve AVIF quality? No. Converting a file cannot recover detail that was lost before conversion. Inspect the new PNG for any changes. ### Will an AVIF with transparency remain transparent? PNG supports transparency, but the result depends on the source and browser. Inspect the downloaded PNG before using it. ### Can I convert animated AVIF? This page produces a still PNG rather than exporting an animation. Check the result; it does not offer frame selection. ### Why is the PNG larger? File size varies with the image and encoding. A PNG photo can be larger than its AVIF source, but the difference is not fixed. ### What if the AVIF will not open? AVIF support varies by browser and file. Try a compatible browser or check that the source file is valid. ### Does it keep image metadata? Metadata and colour information may change or be omitted. Keep the original and inspect the output if these details matter. ### Are files uploaded for conversion? Conversion runs in the browser. Downloaded files remain on your device. ## More image tools that pair with this one - [Image to AVIF](https://www.toolcomb.com/image-to-avif) - Go the other way and create a compact AVIF from a PNG or JPG master. - [WebP to AVIF](https://www.toolcomb.com/webp-to-avif) - Re-encode WebP files as AVIF when your browser supports AV1 encoding. - [WebP to PNG](https://www.toolcomb.com/webp-to-png) - Same lossless handoff for WebP sources. - [Image Converter](https://www.toolcomb.com/image-converter) - Pick any supported output format from one screen. ## Related Tools Discover more free tools that might help with your next task.
