PNG is set as the output. Clear pixels stay clear, and the PNG is saved without any new compression loss.
Choose your crop
Drag on the preview for a custom crop. The shaded edges will be removed. Need more room instead? Uncrop the photo.
Set the pixel dimensions
Dimensions are shared with the download controls below.
Presets set the longest edge. Unlocking the ratio can stretch the image.
Say something
With Text selected, drag on the picture to position your caption.
Give it an edge
Clear a line to leave it out. Wreath and instant designs fill their window from the middle of your photo, so crop first to choose what shows.
Frames are drawn inside the output size. PNG or WebP keeps any transparent corners.

Remove a background color
Best for plain backdrops. Connected removal starts at the picked pixel, or image corners. Use the brush for other areas.

Choose the file that fits
Use JPG or WebP quality to reduce file size. PNG is lossless. The actual file size appears after you download.
A conversion does not recover detail already lost from the source. Transparent pixels become white in JPG.

How to convert AVIF to PNG
- Choose the AVIF from your files, or drop it on the preview.
- Keep PNG as the format. Crop, resize or rotate first if you need to.
- Download the PNG and check its size against the AVIF.
Every pixel kept, including the clear ones.
PNG is lossless: it records each pixel exactly, along with how see-through it is. That makes it the safe copy to keep editing, and the format most design tools, slide apps and older programs accept for graphics with a transparent background.
Your browser decodes the AVIF, the editor draws it on a canvas, and a fresh PNG is written from those pixels. Detail the AVIF encoder dropped to make its small file stays lost, so the PNG shows exactly what the AVIF showed on screen, no sharper.
Expect a much larger file, above all for photos. If the picture is a photo with nothing transparent in it, the AVIF to JPG converter gives a far smaller copy that opens just as widely.
What carries over from the AVIF to the PNG
AVIF can hold more than a plain picture: an alpha channel, an image sequence, and HDR or wide-color data, according to MDN. Here is how each one comes through on this page.
| In the AVIF | In the PNG you download |
|---|---|
| Transparent and partly transparent pixels | Kept exactly, soft edges included |
| Lossy compression | No further loss: the decoded pixels are stored as they are |
| An animated image sequence | One still frame, normally the first |
| HDR or wide-color data | Fitted into standard sRGB color by your browser |
| Width and height in pixels | Kept, unless you resize or the image is very large |
| Camera, date and location details | Left out, because the PNG is built from pixels alone |
File sizes from our test
We converted the same three AVIF files on this page in Chrome. The PNG kept every pixel and the transparency, and it grew a lot for the photos. For comparison, the last column shows the JPG from the AVIF to JPG page at quality 90.
The pattern is typical. Photos are full of fine detail that lossless compression cannot squeeze, so a PNG of a photo is huge. A logo has large flat areas that PNG stores efficiently, so it stays small and keeps its clear background, which JPG would have turned white.
| Test file | AVIF | PNG | JPG at 90, for comparison |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mountain lake photo, 1,021 x 1,277 | 108 KB | 1,975 KB | 307 KB |
| Beach photo, 1,167 x 1,167 | 85 KB | 1,601 KB | 253 KB |
| Logo with transparency, 800 x 500 | 5.0 KB | 56.9 KB | 22.8 KB, on white |
Good reasons to choose PNG
A PNG copy earns its extra size when:
- A sticker, icon or logo has to sit on a colored slide, document or web page without a white box around it.
- You will keep editing the picture, so each round starts from exact pixels instead of adding more compression.
- A screenshot saved as AVIF holds small text or sharp lines, which lossy JPG would blur at the edges.
- You want rounded corners or other shapes cut from the picture, which need transparency to look right.
Questions
Does AVIF support transparency?
Yes. AVIF has an alpha channel, so a logo or sticker can have a clear background. PNG has one too, which is why this page keeps it: in our test, the transparent corner of an AVIF logo was still fully transparent in the PNG we downloaded.
Why is the PNG so much bigger than the AVIF?
AVIF is usually lossy and very efficient, while PNG stores every pixel without loss. In our test, a 108 KB AVIF photo became a 1,975 KB PNG, about 18 times larger. Flat graphics grow less and stay small: our 5 KB test logo became a 57 KB PNG.
Will converting AVIF to PNG make it HD or higher quality?
The PNG is an exact copy of what the AVIF shows, so nothing gets worse, but nothing gets better either. It cannot restore detail the AVIF dropped, and this page does not upscale. Enlarging in Resize only spreads the same pixels over a bigger grid.
How do I convert AVIF to PNG on a Mac?
Open this page in Safari 16.1 or later, Chrome or Firefox, choose the AVIF, keep PNG selected and download. Nothing needs installing, and the same steps work on Windows, Linux, Android and iPhone in any browser that opens AVIF.
Should I convert AVIF to PNG or JPG?
PNG for anything with transparency, small text, sharp lines or more editing to come. JPG for photos you only need to open or upload, because the file is many times smaller: our test photo was 307 KB as a JPG at quality 90 and 1,975 KB as a PNG.
What happens to an animated AVIF?
You get one still picture, normally the first frame. A PNG from this page holds a single image, and the HTML Standard tells browsers to draw one frame when an animated image goes onto a canvas. Keep the AVIF if you need the motion.
Is AVIF better than PNG?
For websites, AVIF usually wins on size, and MDN notes it can be lossless as well as lossy. PNG wins on compatibility and as a working copy, because practically every image program opens it and saves it without loss.
Can I make the background transparent if the AVIF has none?
Not on this page, which keeps the pixels as they are. If the background is one plain color, the remove background tool can clear it and save a PNG with the transparency.
