Is PNG lossless from AVIF?

The PNG encoding step is lossless. Any quality loss already happened when the AVIF was created (AVIF is typically lossy) — no additional loss is introduced by converting to PNG.

Why is the PNG so much larger than the AVIF?

AVIF was designed to shrink files 40–50% vs. PNG using AV1's advanced compression. Going back to lossless PNG throws that away — expect 3–10× larger files, especially for photographic content.

Does the converter keep HDR / wide-gamut color?

PNG only stores 8 bits per channel with a sRGB assumption. HDR or wide-gamut information in the source AVIF is tone-mapped down to sRGB during conversion.

Will Windows / Photoshop open the resulting PNG?

Yes — every OS and image editor released in the last two decades reads PNG without extensions or plugins. That's the whole reason to convert.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Decoding happens in the browser using its built-in AV1 image decoder, and PNG encoding runs on the canvas API. Nothing is uploaded.

Convert AVIF to PNG

Convert AVIF images into lossless PNGs — with transparency preserved — right in your browser. Useful when you need an editable master, want to keep the alpha channel, or are handing the file to software that predates AV1 image support.

About AVIF

AVIF stores images with the AV1 codec, which is exceptional at both photos and graphics. It supports 10- and 12-bit color depth, HDR, and full alpha transparency — everything PNG does, plus HDR, in a smaller file. The reason we're still converting it away: half the software ecosystem doesn't read it yet.

About PNG

PNG is the universally-supported lossless format. It supports 8-bit alpha, no re-compression, and works everywhere from a 20-year-old scanner utility to Figma. It doesn't support HDR or the wide color depth AVIF can carry, so any color information above 8-bit-per-channel is quantized down during conversion.

Why convert AVIF to PNG?

Pick PNG over JPG when your AVIF has a transparent background (logos, icons, product cutouts, UI mockups) or when it's going into further editing where you can't afford another round of lossy compression.

What people use it for

Extract a transparent AVIF logo into a PNG your design tool understands
Convert AVIF UI mockups exported from Figma for use in a legacy handoff tool
Turn AVIF product cutouts into PNGs your e-commerce platform accepts
Preserve every pixel of an AVIF illustration for further editing
Ship AVIF-optimized web images to a client whose CMS only accepts PNG

How it works

1
Drop a .avif file
Click the drop zone or drag any AVIF file in. Files stay on your device.
2
Adjust quality (optional)
PNG is lossless, so there's no quality slider — every pixel of the decoded image is preserved.
3
Click Convert to PNG
The conversion runs in your browser. When it's done, click Download.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Both AVIF and PNG support an alpha channel, and the converter copies it over pixel-perfect. Transparent regions in the AVIF stay transparent in the PNG.
