An AVIF image you downloaded may not open in your design tool, and it may have a transparent background you want to keep. This AVIF to PNG converter creates a lossless PNG that keeps transparency and opens in practically every editor.
Convert AVIF to PNG
Add your AVIF files, check the settings and download them as PNG. Batch conversion, no sign-up and no watermark.
Keep transparency from AVIF
AVIF can store an alpha channel, which is how cutouts, icons and stickers stay transparent on web pages. JPG would flatten that into a solid color, but PNG preserves it. If you only care about a smaller file for a photo, AVIF to JPG is the lighter choice.
Steps
- Add AVIF files with drag and drop or “Choose files”.
- Keep PNG selected under “Convert to”.
- Use “Max width (optional)” only if you want to resize. PNG is lossless.
- Download each PNG or all through “Download all (ZIP)”.
Why the PNG is bigger
AVIF is among the most efficient web image formats, so the PNG is nearly always larger, sometimes by a lot. That is expected. PNG avoids lossy compression, so it is ideal for editing, but not for publishing on a website. For web use, keep the AVIF.

Good reasons to convert
- Opening the image in an older editor.

- Editing a transparent cutout without more compression.
- Uploading to a platform that rejects AVIF.
Troubleshooting
An animated AVIF became still
PNG cannot animate, so only the first frame is kept.
The background is not transparent
The original AVIF may not contain transparency. Check it in a browser on a colored page.
The file is too big to upload
Set “Max width (optional)” or choose JPG for photos.
Private
Files are converted in your browser and not uploaded. No account and no watermark.
