Convert AVIF images into uncompressed, lossless PNG files. Ideal for graphic designers, desktop editors, and publishing workflows that require full transparency and zero compression artifacts.
Output Format
Evaluate how AVIF and PNG compare across compression algorithms, browser compatibility, transparency, and practical performance.
| Specification | AVIF | PNG (Target) |
|---|---|---|
Compression Type | AV1 advanced lossy/lossless | Lossless truecolor DEFLATE |
Alpha Transparency | Supported | Fully supported (24/32-bit) |
Artifacts | Minimal algorithmic smoothing | Zero compression artifacts |
Editor Support | Limited in older software | Supported by every creative tool |
Print Suitability | Web-centric | Excellent for print and raster design |
Format Optimization Guide
Modern web scrapers, asset libraries, and camera captures increasingly output AVIF files. However, desktop design applications such as older versions of Adobe Photoshop, CorelDRAW, or print rasterizers do not always open AVIF files cleanly.
Converting AVIF to PNG produces an uncompressed, pixel-perfect raster file that opens universally in any graphic editor, preserving alpha transparency and precise color boundaries.
Our converter uses high-fidelity canvas and UPNG encoders to write unquantized 32-bit truecolor PNG files without degrading your visuals or downsampling color palettes.
Common questions about converting AVIF images to PNG format.
No. PNG is a lossless format. The decoded pixel data from your AVIF file is preserved exactly as rendered without adding secondary lossy compression artifacts.
Yes. Both formats fully support alpha channels, meaning transparent backgrounds, icons, and soft edges remain completely intact.
AVIF uses advanced predictive video compression algorithms, whereas PNG uses DEFLATE compression. Because PNG stores lossless pixel data, the file size will naturally be larger.
The converter will extract and render the primary frame of the image as a high-resolution static PNG graphic.
