- Is transparency preserved?
- Yes. PNG has a full alpha channel, so any transparency in your AVIF is kept exactly as-is — nothing is flattened and no background color is added.
- Why is the PNG so much larger than the AVIF?
- That is normal. AVIF uses modern AV1 compression while PNG stores pixels losslessly, so file sizes often grow several times. In exchange, PNG opens everywhere and never loses quality.
- Is converting AVIF to PNG fast?
- Yes. This is a decode-only operation — the server reads the AVIF and writes a PNG, with no AV1 encoding involved. It's noticeably quicker than tools that create AVIF files, which do need heavy encoding.
- Why convert AVIF to PNG instead of keeping the AVIF?
- PNG opens in essentially every image editor, design tool, and legacy application, while AVIF support — though broad in modern browsers — is still missing from some older software. PNG is also the safer choice for lossless archiving or further editing.
- Can I batch convert multiple AVIF files to PNG?
- Yes, with an account. Free accounts can batch up to 5 files at a time, and paid plans support up to 100 files per batch. Anonymous visitors can only convert one file.
- Are my files private?
- Yes. Files are uploaded over an encrypted HTTPS connection and processed on our servers. Converted outputs are deleted automatically within 24 hours, and your original uploads are removed within 6–24 hours. We never share your images.
- What are the size and usage limits?
- Anonymous visitors can upload files up to 20 MB and get 1 free server conversion. A free account raises this to 50 MB per file, 3 free conversions every 30 days, and batches of up to 5 files. Paid plans allow 200 MB per file and batches of up to 100 files.
