When PNG is the better choice
If your AVIF image is a logo, an icon, a sticker, a product cut-out or anything with a transparent background, PNG is the format you want. It keeps transparent areas exactly as they are, while JPG would fill them with white. That makes PNG the right pick for designers, people building presentations and anyone placing an image on top of a colored background.
PNG is also lossless. Once the image is decoded, every pixel is saved exactly, so you can edit it, crop it and save it again without adding the blur that repeated JPG saves cause.
Typical situations
You downloaded a brand logo from a website and it came as .avif, but Canva, PowerPoint, Photoshop or your sign-making software won't take it. You saved a transparent product image for an online store listing and the store uploader rejects the format. You want to keep a screenshot or an illustration in a format that will still open in ten years. Converting to PNG covers all of these.
PNG is also a good middle step: once your image is a PNG, you can resize it, crop it or remove a plain background with the other ConvertirDocs tools.
Expect a larger file
AVIF is one of the most efficient image formats, and PNG is designed for exactness rather than small size. A photo converted from AVIF to PNG can be several times heavier. For graphics with flat colors the difference is smaller. If the file ends up too large for where it's going, use “Compress image”, which can reduce PNG files to a color palette, or choose AVIF to JPG for photos without transparency.
A useful rule of thumb: keep PNG for images that have transparency, sharp edges, text or few colors, and choose JPG or WEBP for ordinary photos. That way you get the right look without carrying around files that are much heavier than they need to be.
Browser support
The AVIF file is read with your browser's own image support. Recent versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari can open AVIF, so most people won't notice anything. If your browser can't read the file, ConvertirDocs tells you instead of producing a broken PNG, and updating the browser usually solves it.
Nothing is uploaded
Your images are converted on your own device and never sent to a server. There's no sign-up, no watermark and no cap on the number of files. Several images download together in a ZIP. EXIF data isn't carried into the PNG, and ConvertirDocs is 100% free.
