AVIF and PNG explained

AVIF stores still images using the AV1 video codec's intra-frame compression. It generally achieves the smallest files of any widely supported format, and it handles wide colour gamut and HDR, which JPEG cannot.

PNG is a lossless raster format built to replace GIF. It stores every pixel exactly as given and supports a full 8-bit alpha channel, which means genuine partial transparency rather than the single transparent colour GIF offers.

Where AVIF files come from
Performance-focused websites and modern image pipelines.
Where PNG is used
Screenshots, exported logos and UI assets, and anything designed rather than photographed.

AVIF vs PNG

The two formats solve different problems, which is why converting between them involves trade-offs rather than a straight upgrade.

Why convert AVIF to PNG?

People make this switch when they run into the limits of AVIF: the file needs to be opened outside a browser, or you need fast bulk encoding. PNG is the better fit when the image has transparency, text, screenshots, logos, or you need an exact pixel-for-pixel copy.

AVIF limitations that prompt the switch
Encoding is slow compared with JPEG or WebP. Desktop application support is still thin. Very low bitrates can smear fine detail in a distinctive way.
What you give up
Much larger than JPEG or WebP for photographic content. No animation in practice (APNG exists but support is inconsistent).

Does converting AVIF to PNG reduce quality?

Both formats store the content without discarding data, so this conversion preserves it exactly. The file size may change because the two formats compress differently, but the content itself is unaffected.

Converting a JPEG to PNG does not improve its quality. It freezes the image exactly as it already is, artefacts included, in a larger file.
