Convert AVIF to PNG and keep transparency
Convert AVIF to PNG for editing or for software that cannot read AVIF. Transparency stays, and no extra loss is added after decoding. Expect a much larger file.

How to use it
- Add your AVIF files.
- Press convert and wait for each file to finish.
- Check the preview.
- Download the PNGs.
What it keeps
- Pixels as decoded from the AVIF.
- Transparency.
- Pixel dimensions.
What it removes or changes
- PNG files are usually several times larger than AVIF for photos.
- AVIF compression artefacts, if any, remain.
- Animated AVIF: first frame only.
Limits
- Output is 8-bit, so deeper colour in the source is reduced.
- No animation.
- Large PNGs may be too big for upload forms.
Compatibility
PNG is read by virtually everything. That makes it the straightforward bridge when an editor or website cannot handle AVIF. For photos you only need to view or upload, JPG is lighter.
Privacy
Everything runs in your browser tab. The AVIF is decoded locally, the PNG is written locally, and nothing is uploaded.
PNG or JPG after AVIF
PNG is about avoiding loss and keeping alpha. JPG is about size and compatibility. If the AVIF has transparency or you plan to edit it, PNG. If it is a photo going to a form, a message or a print shop, JPG.
Troubleshooting
The PNG is enormous.
AVIF uses far stronger compression. Use AVIF to JPG if you do not need transparency.
Is the colour right?
Colours follow the file. Check in the destination app.
Only one frame was saved.
The tool converts the first frame of animated AVIF.
Frequently asked questions
Does it keep transparency?
Yes. PNG supports an alpha channel, so transparent areas in the AVIF stay transparent.
Is the quality the same as the AVIF?
The PNG shows what the AVIF showed. It cannot improve it.
Why is the file so large?
PNG is far less efficient for photos.
