What changes when you convert AVIF to PNG
- Both formats are lossless, so the pixels in the PNG file are identical to the AVIF source. Only the container and compression method change.
- Transparency is preserved: PNG supports an alpha channel, so transparent backgrounds from AVIF stay transparent.
- PNG holds a single still image, so only the first frame of an animated AVIF is kept.
- PNG is less space-efficient than AVIF, so expect the converted file to be larger than the original.
- Compatibility improves: PNG opens in more browsers, apps and operating systems than AVIF.
About AVIF
AVIF is an image format based on the AV1 video codec, published by the Alliance for Open Media. It offers some of the best compression available, with HDR, wide color gamut and transparency.
- Best for
- High-performance websites, large hero images and photo galleries where every kilobyte counts.
- Strengths
- Very small files at high quality, 10- and 12-bit color, transparency.
- Limitations
- Slower to encode, and support in older browsers and image editors is still incomplete.
About PNG
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless raster format created as a patent-free replacement for GIF. It supports full alpha transparency and up to 16 bits per channel.
- Best for
- Screenshots, logos, UI graphics, diagrams and any image that needs a transparent background or pixel-perfect edges.
- Strengths
- Lossless quality, full transparency, opens everywhere.
- Limitations
- Photos produce large files compared with JPG, WebP or AVIF.
Frequently asked questions
Is the AVIF to PNG conversion really free?
Yes. ConverterUp is fully free, with no signup, no watermarks, and no daily quota for the AVIF to PNG converter. We support the project through unobtrusive ads.
Are my AVIF files uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly. The AVIF bytes never leave your device, and we have no upload endpoint at all.
What is the maximum file size?
For AVIF input, the soft cap is 50 MB for images and 500 MB for video. Practical performance depends on your device's RAM.
Does converting AVIF to PNG reduce quality?
No. Both formats are lossless, so every pixel is preserved exactly.
What happens to an animated AVIF when converted to PNG?
PNG is a still-image format, so only the first frame is saved. To keep the motion, convert to MP4, WebM or an animated WebP instead.
