What's the difference between AVIF and PNG?
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) and PNG (Portable Network Graphics) solve different problems: AVIF is a lossy compression format built for next-gen web images, photography portfolios, while PNG is a lossless compression format whose strength is screenshots, logos, graphics with transparency. In practice you will meet AVIF when dealing with next-gen web images, photography portfolios, and reach for PNG when you need screenshots, logos, graphics with transparency — the table below compares them point by point.

Why convert AVIF to PNG?
AVIF is an image format released in 2019 by the Alliance for Open Media, built on the AV1 video codec. It achieves roughly 50% smaller files than JPG at the same quality, supports HDR, wide color gamut, and transparency, and is now supported by all major browsers. Here is when PNG is the better choice:
- →PNG is lossless — no compression artifacts, ever. Text and sharp edges stay crisp.
- →Full alpha transparency makes PNG the standard for logos and UI assets.
- →It runs in the cloud — 10 free conversions a day with files up to 200 MB (20/day and 500 MB with a free account) — so even a phone or an old laptop converts at full speed.
Before you convert: three quick tips
- ●If your image has a transparent background, pick a target that supports it (PNG, WebP, AVIF); converting to JPG fills transparency with white.
- ●For web use, the modern formats (WebP, AVIF) save the most bandwidth; for maximum compatibility, JPG and PNG remain the safe choices.
- ●Keep your original AVIF — conversion never modifies it, and if you later need a different target format, starting from the original always gives the best quality.
PNG conversion settings explained
PNG is a lossless format, so there is no quality slider — the output always preserves complete pixel data. That makes results predictable: the same input always produces the same quality output.
A note on size: lossless file size depends on image complexity. Screenshots and graphics with flat colors compress extremely well; photographic content will come out noticeably larger than lossy formats like JPG or WebP — the fair price of zero loss.
How the conversion works
Filevo converts AVIF to PNG with libvips, the high-performance open-source image engine that powers the Sharp library used across the industry. libvips processes images as a stream with a tiny memory footprint, so a typical photo converts in under a second. The work happens on our servers, not your device — a phone or an aging laptop converts just as fast as a workstation.
Why convert AVIF to PNG?
AVIF is a brilliant, very new format (2019, based on the AV1 codec) — but newness is its problem. PowerPoint, Word, older Photoshop, MediaWiki, lots of forum software and many corporate document pipelines simply don’t understand AVIF. PNG is the opposite: it has worked everywhere since the 1990s, in every browser, editor, design tool and operating system. Converting AVIF to PNG is how you take a file that won’t open and turn it into one that always will — losslessly.
Lossless — and transparency is preserved
Both AVIF and PNG support a full 8-bit alpha channel, so any transparency in the AVIF is preserved perfectly in the PNG — every pixel can stay fully opaque, fully transparent, or anywhere between. That matters for logos, icons and graphics that sit on other backgrounds. PNG is also lossless: every pixel of the decoded AVIF is written with zero degradation. The one trade-off is size — because PNG stores everything uncompressed-by-quality, PNG files run roughly 2–5× larger than the AVIF. That’s normal and expected for a lossless format.
When PNG, when JPG
Choose PNG when you need lossless quality or must keep transparency — logos, icons, screenshots, graphics with sharp edges, or anything you’ll edit further. If you just need to view or share a photo and want the smallest possible file, converting AVIF to JPG is the better fit, since JPG is far smaller (it fills any transparency with white). PNG keeps everything; JPG keeps it small.
Convert AVIF to PNG on any device
On Windows or Mac: drag the AVIF straight from Explorer or Finder into the converter above. On iPhone or Android: open this page in your browser, tap Browse Files and pick the AVIF — no app required. The conversion runs in the cloud, and the lossless PNG downloads ready to open in any tool that refused the AVIF.

What is PNG?
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless raster image format standardized in 1996 as a patent-free replacement for GIF. It preserves every pixel exactly, supports full alpha transparency, and is the default choice for screenshots, logos, and graphics with sharp edges or text.

AVIF to PNG converter FAQ
How do I convert AVIF to PNG for free?
Drop your AVIF file into the converter at the top of this page, confirm PNG as the target, click Convert, and download the result. It is genuinely free: 10 free conversions a day with files up to 200 MB (20/day and 500 MB with a free account), no watermarks, no software to install, no account required.
Is it safe to convert AVIF files online?
Yes. Transfers are TLS-encrypted end to end, and conversion is fully automated — no human ever sees your files. Your uploaded AVIF is deleted the moment conversion finishes, and the converted PNG auto-deletes after 24 hours (you can delete it sooner). We never use your files for AI training or share them with anyone.
Will I lose quality converting AVIF to PNG?
PNG is lossless and preserves the decoded data exactly. One honest caveat: detail that AVIF already discarded cannot be recovered — converting stops any further quality loss, but it cannot restore what is gone. Expect the file to get larger.
How long does AVIF to PNG conversion take?
Usually seconds. The conversion itself takes from under a second to a few seconds for images and audio — most of the wait is the upload, which depends on your connection speed. Since processing happens in the cloud, your device stays fast, and you can run several conversions in parallel.
Can I convert AVIF to PNG on iPhone or Android?
Yes. Filevo runs entirely in the browser, so it works the same on iPhone, Android, tablets, and computers — no app to install. On mobile, tap Browse Files to pick from your photos or files.
What's the maximum file size?
Anonymous conversions accept files up to 200 MB; a free account raises that to 500 MB. Paid plans go from 1 GB up to 10 GB per file, with higher daily limits and priority queues.
Can I convert multiple files at once?
Yes. Drop up to 50 files at once — they roll through the queue automatically. Pick a target format per file or set one per category, then download results individually or grab everything as a single ZIP.
Does converting change my image dimensions or resolution?
No. Converting AVIF to PNG keeps the original pixel dimensions — a 4000×3000 image stays 4000×3000. Only the encoding and the file size change.
Why is my PNG larger than the original file?
PNG is lossless, so it stores every pixel exactly. Converting a compressed photo (like JPG or WebP) to PNG usually increases file size — that is expected and means no quality was lost.
Does AVIF to PNG keep transparency?
Yes, perfectly. Both formats support a full alpha channel, so transparent areas in the AVIF stay transparent in the PNG — ideal for logos and icons. This is a key advantage over converting to JPG, which fills transparency with white.
Why is the PNG larger than the AVIF?
AVIF is a highly efficient modern codec, while PNG is lossless and stores full detail, so PNG files are typically 2–5× larger. That extra size is the cost of lossless quality and universal compatibility — exactly what you’re converting for.
Why won’t my software open AVIF files?
AVIF is new (2019), so older software — PowerPoint, Word, older Photoshop, many forums and document tools — never added support. Converting to PNG fixes it instantly, since PNG opens in essentially everything made since the 1990s.
Whether you need screenshots, logos, graphics with transparency or simply a file that works where AVIF will not open, the converter above turns AVIF into PNG in seconds — free, private, and with nothing to install. Bookmark this page for the next time a AVIF file refuses to cooperate.
