TRANSPARENCY SUPPORT
AVIF is a modern format known for strong compression, and it does support transparency through an alpha channel. The problem is compatibility — a lot of image editors, older browsers, and various apps either don't recognize AVIF at all or handle its transparency inconsistently.
PNG solves that. It's been the standard format for transparent images for years, and virtually everything supports it — browsers, design tools, presentation software, you name it. When you convert AVIF images to PNG for transparency, you're moving to a format that's guaranteed to preserve and correctly display that transparent background, wherever you use it next.

EASY 3-STEP PROCESS
No installs, no design apps needed — just your browser:

LOSSLESS PRESERVATION
No — and this is one of the nicer things about this particular conversion. PNG is a lossless format, meaning it doesn't discard any image data during compression. So when you convert AVIF to PNG, your image comes out exactly as it went in, quality-wise. No added compression artifacts, no blur, nothing lost.
The resolution stays untouched too — the tool doesn't resize or crop, it just re-encodes the same pixel data into PNG format.
Now, about preserving transparency: if your AVIF file has an alpha channel (transparent or semi-transparent areas), the best way to convert AVIF to PNG while preserving transparency is exactly what happens here by default — the alpha channel carries over directly, since both AVIF and PNG support it natively. You won't lose any transparent regions in the process, unlike converting to JPG, which would flatten them to a solid background.

USE CASES
FORMAT COMPARISON
They're built for different jobs. AVIF is excellent for the web specifically — it compresses images down to very small file sizes while still supporting transparency and high quality, which is great for site performance. But that efficiency comes at the cost of compatibility, since plenty of software still doesn't handle AVIF properly. PNG is heavier in file size, but it's lossless, universally supported, and handles transparency reliably everywhere. If you need broad compatibility over file-size savings, PNG is the safer choice.
