Why convert AVIF to PNG?

The main difference: AVIF is a lossy or lossless format, while PNG is a lossless format. PNG is supported almost everywhere; AVIF isn't.

Works on every device

Plenty of apps and websites can't read AVIF (Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari 16+; many apps can't open it yet). A PNG copy opens on any phone, tablet, computer or browser, so you can view, upload or send the picture without hunting for special software.

Transparent areas stay transparent

AVIF and PNG both handle transparency, so anything see-through in the original is still see-through after conversion.

Crisp edges for editing and print

PNG keeps sharp lines and text intact, which makes it the better choice for graphics, screenshots and anything you plan to print.

What is an AVIF file?

AVIF (AV1 Image File Format) is a modern image format based on the AV1 video codec, developed by the Alliance for Open Media - Google, Apple, Microsoft, Netflix and others. It typically produces smaller files than both JPG and WebP at the same visual quality.

AVIF supports transparency, HDR and wide color, which makes it a favorite for fast websites. Support outside browsers is still patchy, so downloaded AVIF files often need converting.

How to open an AVIF file

Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari 16+ display AVIF. Windows 11 opens it in Photos once the free AV1 Video Extension is installed; macOS Ventura and later preview it. For editors and forms that refuse it, convert to JPG or PNG.

What is a PNG file?

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless image format created in 1996 as a patent-free replacement for GIF. It stores every pixel exactly, so text, logos and sharp edges stay perfectly crisp however often you save the file.

PNG supports full transparency, which makes it the standard format for logos, icons, screenshots and graphics placed on top of other designs. For photos, though, PNG files are several times larger than JPG.

How to open a PNG file

PNG opens everywhere: Windows Photos, Mac Preview, iPhone and Android galleries and every web browser. Editors like Photoshop, GIMP, Figma and Canva keep the transparency intact.
