Frequently asked questions
- Why would I convert AVIF to PNG?
- AVIF is excellent for the web but isn't yet supported by older Office versions, many email clients (Outlook, older Gmail), some CMS uploaders and most print/RIP software. Converting to PNG gives you a universal-compatibility copy with no quality loss.
- Is my image uploaded anywhere?
- No. Decoding and re-encoding both happen on a canvas in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
- Will the PNG be larger than the AVIF?
- Yes — usually 3-10× larger. AVIF is a modern compressed format; PNG is lossless and uncompressed (apart from DEFLATE). The trade-off is universal compatibility.
- Will transparency survive?
- Yes — AVIF and PNG both support alpha channels, so transparent backgrounds carry over exactly.
- Will the conversion lose quality?
- PNG is lossless, so re-encoding the decoded AVIF bitmap loses nothing extra. The only quality loss is whatever the original AVIF discarded compared to the source — and that already happened before you got the file.
- Which browsers can read AVIF?
- Chrome 85+, Edge 85+, Firefox 93+ and Safari 16+. If your browser shows an error, you're probably on an older version — update to convert.
- Can I convert AVIF to JPG instead?
- Yes — use the Convert to JPG tool after first converting to PNG, or just use the Crop / Background tools that all support JPG output.
- What's the maximum file size?
- 50 MB. Most AVIF files are well under that — even high-res photos rarely exceed 1 MB in AVIF.
- Does it work on AVIF animations?
- Browsers only render the first frame of an animated AVIF on a canvas, so the resulting PNG is a single still image. For animations, look at WebP or GIF instead.
- Is converting AVIF to PNG free?
- Yes — completely free, no signup, no watermark.
