Upload your .avif file, optionally set width, height, and PNG compression, then start the conversion. When processing finishes, download the PNG result and use it in the app, upload form, editor, or document that needs PNG.
Free AVIF to PNG Converter
Convert AVIF to PNG when an .avif image will not open, upload, or edit cleanly in the next app you need to use. Upload one AVIF file, keep the original size or resize it up to 8192 px, choose a PNG compression level, and download a compatible PNG image.
What This AVIF to PNG Converter Does
This tool converts a single AVIF image into a PNG file. AVIF is a modern image format with strong compression, but many older editors, upload forms, CMS fields, and document workflows still handle PNG more reliably.
The output is not a renamed file. The converter reads the uploaded .avif image, rasterizes the visible image data, applies your optional size settings, and exports a real PNG file.
| Input | Output | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| .avif image | .png image | The AVIF file becomes a PNG file |
| AVIF with transparency | PNG with transparency | Alpha transparency can be preserved when it exists in the source |
| Large AVIF image | Resized PNG | Width and height can be set up to 8192 px |
| Compact AVIF file | Compatible PNG | File size may increase, but app support improves |
Use this page when the source is AVIF and the required result is PNG. If the final PNG is too large for an upload limit, reduce the dimensions here first or choose a stronger PNG compression level in the converter.
How to Convert AVIF to PNG Step by Step
1
Upload your AVIF file
Choose an image with a .avif extension. The upload field is scoped to AVIF input, so you do not need to rename the file or convert it through another format first.
2
Keep the original size or set dimensions
Leave width and height blank to keep the source dimensions. Enter a width, height, or both when a website, editor, or document gives you a specific pixel requirement. The current size fields accept values from 1 to 8192 pixels.
3
Choose PNG compression
PNG compression changes how the PNG file is optimized, not the visible pixel quality. Level 0 favors speed, level 6 is the balanced default, and level 9 attempts stronger compression when a smaller PNG file matters.
4
Convert and download
Start the conversion, wait for the result, and download the PNG. The downloaded file can be used in editors, presentations, website uploads, documents, and other workflows that do not accept AVIF reliably.
Convert .AVIF to .PNG for Better Compatibility
AVIF is efficient, but it can still fail in practical places: older image editors, upload widgets, document tools, email builders, and systems that only whitelist common image formats. A .avif to png conversion solves that compatibility problem without changing the task into a broader format workflow.
| Situation | Why PNG helps |
|---|---|
| A form rejects the AVIF file | PNG is commonly accepted by upload fields |
| An editor will not open AVIF | PNG opens in most image editors |
| A document tool needs a standard image | PNG works in slides, docs, and design layouts |
| A transparent graphic needs broad support | PNG supports alpha transparency in many apps |
If the source image does not already contain transparent pixels, converting it to PNG will not create new transparency. The PNG output keeps the visible image data from the AVIF source.
AVIF vs PNG: Why Output PNG?
The useful difference is practical: AVIF is usually better for small file size, while PNG is usually better for compatibility and lossless editing. For many users, the reason to convert AVIF to PNG is not that PNG is newer or smaller. It is that PNG is accepted almost everywhere.
| Format | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| AVIF | Smaller web images and modern delivery | Not accepted by every editor or upload form |
| PNG | Editing, transparency, documents, and broad support | Often larger than the AVIF source |
Choose PNG when the next step needs a dependable still image. Keep AVIF when you are optimizing a website and the tools in your workflow already support AVIF.
Transparency, Quality, and PNG Size Tips
Transparency is preserved when the AVIF has it
AVIF and PNG can both store alpha transparency, so transparent pixels in the source image can be preserved in the PNG output. This converter does not create new transparency; if the AVIF is fully opaque, the PNG will stay fully opaque.
PNG is lossless, but usually larger
PNG stores image data differently from AVIF. The converted PNG may be much larger, especially for photos and detailed artwork. That size increase is normal and is part of the trade-off for PNG compatibility.
Resize only when the next step needs it
For the cleanest first export, keep dimensions blank and convert at the original size. Resize during conversion only when a form, document, or layout requires a specific pixel width or height.
Use compression level 6 as the default
Level 6 is the safest starting point for most files. Use level 9 when you want stronger PNG compression and do not mind slower processing, or level 0 when speed matters more than output size.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Do not rename .avif to .png manually
Changing the file extension does not convert the image data. A real .avif to .png conversion must decode the AVIF image and export a PNG file.
Do not expect PNG to be smaller
AVIF is designed for efficient compression. PNG is often larger, especially for photos. Convert to PNG for compatibility, transparency support, or editing workflows rather than file-size savings.
Keep the goal practical
If you are only trying to understand the file type, the short answer is that AVIF is a modern compressed image format. If the file needs to work in more apps, upload forms, or document tools, convert the AVIF file to PNG.
Frequently Asked Questions
Use this page as a direct AVIF file to PNG workflow. The source file should be an AVIF image, and the downloaded result will be a PNG file. You do not need to convert through another image format first.
An AVIF file is an image stored in the AV1 Image File Format. It can keep high visual quality with strong compression, but not every app accepts it. If your goal is to open or submit the image more easily, convert the AVIF file to PNG for compatibility.
Modern browsers and some editors can open AVIF files directly. If your current app, form, or device cannot open the AVIF file, convert it to PNG and use the PNG version instead.
Upload the AVIF image, run the conversion, and download the PNG result. This saves the visible image as a PNG file rather than simply changing the filename extension.
Yes, when the source AVIF contains transparency. PNG supports alpha transparency, so transparent areas can remain transparent in the output. A fully opaque AVIF will stay fully opaque after conversion.
The page is designed for direct AVIF to PNG conversion without adding a watermark to the downloaded image. Any current usage limits or sign-in prompts are shown in the interface.
AVIF is usually better for compact web delivery, while PNG is better for broad compatibility, transparency workflows, and lossless editing. Convert to PNG when the next tool or platform does not handle AVIF well.
Yes. Upload the .avif image through the browser interface, adjust optional PNG settings, and download the converted .png file when the task is complete.
AVIF files are uploaded to our server for conversion and scheduled for deletion within 24 hours. Use the tool for ordinary image conversion tasks, and avoid uploading files that you are not comfortable processing through an online converter.
