About This Tool
AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern image format developed by the Alliance for Open Media. It uses AV1 video codec technology to achieve exceptional compression — typically 50% smaller than JPEG at equivalent quality and 20% smaller than WebP. AVIF supports HDR, wide color gamut, transparency, and animation.
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless raster image format that has been the web standard since 1996. PNG supports full alpha transparency, making it ideal for logos, icons, screenshots, and graphics with text. While PNG files are larger than AVIF, they are universally supported across every browser, image editor, and operating system.
The AVIF format was standardized in February 2019, and browser support has grown rapidly. As of 2026, AVIF is supported by approximately 95% of browsers globally. However, many desktop applications, email clients, and older devices still cannot display AVIF images, making PNG conversion essential for broad compatibility.
Why Use This Tool
There are several common scenarios where converting AVIF to PNG is the right choice:
- Universal compatibility — PNG works everywhere. If you need to share an image via email, embed it in a document, or use it in software that doesn't support AVIF, PNG is the safest choice.
- Preserve transparency — Both AVIF and PNG support alpha transparency. Converting to PNG ensures your transparent backgrounds are preserved in a widely compatible format.
- Editing in image editors — Many image editing applications (especially older versions of Photoshop, GIMP, and Figma plugins) have limited or no AVIF support. PNG is universally supported by all major editors.
- Print and document workflows — Professional printing and document workflows typically require PNG or TIFF. Converting AVIF to PNG bridges the gap between web-optimized images and print-ready formats.
- Archival purposes — PNG's lossless compression makes it suitable for long-term image archival where format longevity and quality preservation are priorities.
