Free AVIF to PNG Converter
This free tool converts AVIF images to PNG in your browser, keeping any transparent background intact and adding no further compression on the way out, which is what makes it the right choice for logos and graphics.

Runs entirely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to a server.
How it works
- Drop the AVIF above. Its transparency, if it has any, is read along with everything else.
- It is decoded and written out as PNG, which stores every pixel exactly rather than approximating.
- Download it. The result opens in any editor and keeps its transparent areas transparent.
Common use cases
- Keeping a logo's transparent background when the original arrived as an AVIF.
- Getting an AVIF into an editor that will not open one, without adding compression damage in the process.
- Preparing an image that will be edited and resaved several times, where every JPG round would cost a little more.
- Converting a screenshot or a flat graphic, where PNG's sharp edges beat JPG's smearing around text.
- Handing artwork to somebody who asked for PNG specifically, which most brand guidelines do.
Frequently asked questions
- Why choose PNG rather than JPG?
- Two reasons, and if neither applies then JPG is the better choice. The first is transparency: AVIF can store it, JPG cannot, and converting to JPG fills every transparent pixel with a solid color. The second is that PNG is lossless, so nothing is discarded on the way out. For a logo, an icon, a screenshot or anything with text and hard edges, that matters. For an ordinary photograph it mostly does not, and you pay for it in file size.
- Why is the PNG so much larger than the AVIF?
- Because they are solving opposite problems. AVIF throws away detail your eye is unlikely to miss and can reach roughly half the size of a JPG. PNG throws away nothing at all: it stores every pixel exactly and only compresses by finding repetition. On a photograph there is little repetition to find, so a 200KB AVIF can easily become a 3MB PNG. That is not a fault, it is the trade you chose.
- Does this restore quality the AVIF lost?
- No, and nothing can. If the AVIF was saved lossily, the detail it discarded is gone from the file and no format can put it back. What PNG does is stop the loss here: the pixels as they currently exist survive every future save unchanged. Converting to PNG prevents further damage rather than repairing past damage, and it is worth being clear about the difference before you expect too much of it.
- My AVIF has a transparent background. Will it survive?
- Yes. Both formats carry an alpha channel, so transparency passes through untouched, including partial transparency around soft edges. This is the main reason to pick this conversion over the JPG one.
- Can I make the PNG smaller afterwards?
- Yes, and it is usually worth doing. Our PNG compressor reduces the number of distinct colors stored, which on graphics and logos often cuts the file by half or more with no visible change. On a photograph, the honest answer is that PNG is the wrong container and WebP will serve you better.
- Where does the conversion happen?
- In your browser, using the same decoder it uses to display an AVIF on a web page. The file is never uploaded and nothing is stored.
