AVIF vs PNG: Technical Overview

AVIF compresses images with the AV1 video codec and is one of the most efficient image formats available, with support for transparency, HDR and high bit depths. Its compression is lossy in almost all real-world files, which is what makes it so small. PNG is lossless: it stores exactly the pixels it's given, with a full alpha channel, and it's readable by every image tool. It's the format of choice for graphics, screenshots and anything that will be edited. Converting AVIF to PNG decodes the image once and stores the result without further loss, preserving transparency. It's the most faithful way to move an AVIF into software that doesn't support it.

Why Convert AVIF to PNG?

Use PNG when the AVIF has a transparent background (logos, product cut-outs, stickers and UI graphics often do) or when you plan to edit it. JPG would put transparent areas on white and add another round of lossy compression; PNG keeps both the transparency and every decoded pixel.

Designers and developers often receive AVIF assets from CDNs or websites and need them in design tools like Figma, Sketch, older Photoshop versions or game engines that expect PNG. Converting gives an asset that imports cleanly and survives repeated edits and exports.

What Changes During AVIF to PNG Conversion

Dimensions stay the same and transparency is preserved. The PNG is a lossless copy of the decoded AVIF, so no additional loss is introduced, but any softness from the AVIF's compression is preserved as is. File size increases a lot, because PNG doesn't use lossy compression. In our tests a 20 KB AVIF photo became a 4.7 MB PNG. Graphics with flat colors grow much less. HDR and high-bit-depth images are converted to standard sRGB color.

Tips for Best AVIF to PNG Results

  • 1.For photos without transparency that you only want to share, AVIF to JPG gives a much smaller file.
  • 2.Expect large PNGs for photographic AVIFs; that's normal for lossless storage.
  • 3.Keep the AVIF for the web and use the PNG as your working copy.
  • 4.Compress the PNG afterwards with CNVRT's image compressor if size matters.

AVIF to PNG — Frequently Asked Questions

Does AVIF to PNG keep transparency?

Yes. The PNG keeps the AVIF's alpha channel.

Is there any quality loss?

None is added. The PNG is a lossless copy of the decoded AVIF image.

Why is the PNG so big?

AVIF uses very efficient lossy compression; PNG stores every pixel losslessly. Photos can become many times larger.

What about HDR AVIF images?

They're converted to standard sRGB, which displays correctly on all screens and in all apps.

Which should I choose, PNG or JPG?

PNG for transparency and editing; JPG for a small file you only need to view or share.
