Free AVIF to PNG converter online
Need a PNG instead of a AVIF? This free converter turns AVIF files into PNG images right in your browser. Add as many files as you like, adjust the settings and download the results individually or together as a ZIP.
AVIF is the newest mainstream image format, based on the AV1 video codec. It often beats WebP by another 20 percent in file size and supports HDR and transparency. Support outside of modern browsers is still patchy, so AVIF files frequently need converting before they can be edited, printed or uploaded.
PNG is a lossless format: it never throws image data away, so text and sharp edges stay crisp and it supports full transparency. The trade-off is file size: a photo saved as PNG is often 5 to 10 times bigger than the same photo as JPG. PNG files can hold hidden text chunks with software names, authors and dates.
