When an AVIF needs to land in an image editor or keep its transparent background, PNG is the right target. Unlike AVIF to JPG, this conversion is lossless and preserves the alpha channel, giving you a clean canvas to edit. avif.tools decodes the AVIF and writes a full-quality PNG.
AVIF to PNG keeps transparency
AVIF supports an alpha channel, and so does PNG — so converting between them preserves transparent backgrounds perfectly. That makes PNG the format to choose when your AVIF is a logo, icon, or cut-out you'll place on a coloured layout. JPEG can't hold transparency, so it would fill those areas with white. For photographs where size matters more than transparency, JPG is the leaner option.
Lossless, edit-ready images
PNG is lossless, so every pixel decoded from the AVIF is preserved with no new compression artefacts. That's exactly what you want before retouching, cropping, or compositing, since repeated edits won't degrade the image. The trade-off is file size — PNG is much larger than AVIF — so reserve it for editing and graphics rather than final web delivery, where WebP stays small.
