AVIF to PNG Details
When something needs PNG instead of AVIF, AVIF to PNG keeps every step on one screen: upload, queue, convert, download.
AVIF is the still-image half of the AV1 codec and holds detail well even at low bitrates. PNG is a lossless raster format with a real alpha channel, so repeated saves never degrade the picture.
The workflow
If this is your first visit, here is how it behaves.
- Add the AVIF files you want converted by dragging them in or clicking to browse.
- Each queued file shows its name and size. Remove what you do not need; one round handles 20 files at most.
- Convert files one at a time, or hit convert all to push the entire queue through to PNG.
- Rename the output in the queue field before downloading; the extension is set to PNG for you.
- Save the finished PNG file with the download link, then clear the queue and start the next batch.
Technical details
The limits match what the interface shows, and the processing behaves like this:
- Accepted input: AVIF (avif), up to 24 MB per file.
- The result is written as PNG and written losslessly, so there is no quality value to pick.
- The queue carries 20 files at a time, and each file travels in its own request.
- Transparent pixels survive the trip because PNG supports an alpha channel.
- AVIF was already compressed with loss, so writing PNG losslessly protects what is left instead of restoring detail.
- Do not count on metadata surviving: whether EXIF and ICC data travel depends on the engine handling the file, so keep anything critical elsewhere.
When to choose this tool
If you hold AVIF files and the destination genuinely wants PNG, this is the right page. Logos, screenshots, interface assets and anything that needs a transparent background belong in PNG. It stays crisp on text and hard edges, while photographs end up heavier than their JPG or WebP versions. AVIF is the still-image half of the AV1 codec and holds detail well even at low bitrates.
PNG is not the answer if you only want a lighter file; use the Image Compressor to shrink an image without changing its format (quality 20 to 95).
Practical notes
- Add every AVIF file from the same folder in one go; up to 20 of them finish in a single round.
- Renaming outputs in the queue keeps your downloads folder readable once several PNG files land there.
- PNG is written losslessly, so saving again does no damage and the file works as an archive copy.
- Before publishing, confirm the destination accepts PNG; some upload panels keep a short format list.
Where your data is processed
Your file travels over HTTPS, is processed during that single request and comes back as the download itself. It is never written to a public directory, nothing is kept once the response is sent, and the download is marked as non-cacheable.
