Convert AVIF to PNG: what to know
PNG gives you an edit-friendly lossless copy of an AVIF image. AVIF is a very efficient newer image format, often smaller than WebP. PNG is a lossless image format that supports transparency.
What changes when you convert AVIF to PNG
- PNG is lossless, but converting from AVIF cannot bring back detail that was already discarded. You gain compatibility and an edit-safe copy, not extra quality.
- Camera information such as the capture date is generally retained, but share-sensitive details like location can be inside the file, so strip them before posting publicly.
- Expect the file to get larger. PNG is lossless, so it stores far more data than the compressed AVIF source, but it will not look better than the original.
