Fast, instant AVIF to PNG conversion. No signup required. Just drop your .avif file and get .png in seconds.
Batch Settings
HDR data will be tone-mapped
Your AVIF file may contain HDR (High Dynamic Range) data. PNG only supports standard dynamic range (SDR). Highlights and shadows will be compressed to fit the 8-bit range — subtle detail in very bright or dark areas may be lost.
Animation frames will be lost
AVIF supports animation, but PNG does not. Only the first frame (or a representative frame) will be preserved. If you need animation, consider converting to WebP or GIF instead.
Some metadata may not survive
Your AVIF file may contain EXIF, XMP metadata. PNG has limited or no support for these metadata types. Location data (GPS), camera settings, and color profiles may be stripped during conversion.
Wide color gamut → sRGB
Your AVIF file uses a wide color gamut (sRGB, Display P3, BT.2020 wide gamut). PNG uses standard sRGB. Highly saturated colors outside the sRGB range will be clipped or compressed — this is most noticeable in vivid reds, greens, and blues.
O formato AVIF chegou com promessas de arquivos menores e qualidade superior, mas a realidade do dia a dia é outra: bancos, cartórios e plataformas de RH ainda pedem PNG na hora de enviar documentos. Seja para anexar um comprovante no aplicativo do banco, compartilhar um layout com um cliente ou subir uma foto de perfil num sistema corporativo, o PNG continua sendo o formato que abre em qualquer lugar, sem surpresa. A conversão é simples, mas encontrar uma ferramenta que preserve a transparência e não estrague as cores já é outra história. É exatamente isso que esta página resolve.
- Envio de comprovantes e documentos em portais bancários brasileiros e portugueses
- Exportação de artes para apresentações e materiais de marketing em agências
- Adequação de imagens para plataformas de e-commerce como Mercado Livre e OLX
No Brasil, aplicativos como o do FGTS e portais gov.br ainda não reconhecem AVIF no upload de documentos, exigindo PNG ou JPEG. Em Portugal, o mesmo ocorre no Portal das Finanças, tornando essa conversão uma necessidade prática e frequente.

Your AVIF image is decoded into raw pixel data, then re-encoded as PNG.
Your AVIF file is decoded — the compressed/stored pixel data is expanded into raw RGBA (with alpha channel) pixels
HDR data is tone-mapped to standard dynamic range (8-bit per channel)
Pixels are re-encoded using Portable Network Graphics's lossless compression
Metadata (EXIF, ICC profiles) is transferred where PNG supports it
The PNG file is saved and ready for download
