AVIF to PNG: A Simple, Complete Guide

Don't want jargon? Follow one of these methods and you're done.

Method 1: Use the converter on this site (recommended)

Choose or drag your AVIF file onto the page.
Preview the result and click Convert to PNG.
Download your new PNG. Your original file remains unchanged.

Tips

If the source has transparency, the PNG will keep it.
After download, preview on dark and light backgrounds to check edges.
If a download is blocked by the browser, check the Downloads list or Files app.

Method 2: Use common desktop apps (Windows/macOS)

Open the image → Export / Save As → choose PNG.
If transparency is needed, ensure alpha/transparency is kept (if offered).
If size is too big, reduce pixel dimensions a little rather than applying heavy compression.
If colors look off, convert the source to sRGB before exporting.

Method 3: On your phone (iPhone/Android)

Open this site in your mobile browser.
Pick an AVIF from your Photos/Files.
Convert and download the PNG back to your device.

Tips

If the browser doesn't show the AVIF in Photos, first save the file to Files, then import.
Some mobile browsers keep downloads in an in-app Downloads list.

Batch ideas (if you have many files)

Create a project folder and a naming rule like brand-logo-white-header.png.
Convert in small batches to avoid mix-ups.

FAQ

Q: Why is my PNG larger than the AVIF?
A: PNG is lossless and often bigger. For pure web display, AVIF/WebP is usually smaller.
If you need transparency or editability, PNG is a good choice.

Q: Downloaded image looks different in color.
A: View both files in the same app. If still off, convert the source to sRGB and export again.

Q: The file won't open.
A: Make sure the extension is .png. Try opening with your system's default viewer.

Q: Where did transparency go?
A: If the source had no transparent pixels, the PNG won't show transparency.
If it did, ensure you exported with alpha/transparency enabled.
