Can Photoshop open AVIF files?

Photoshop CC 2023 (version 25.x) and later added native AVIF support. Older versions need a free plugin from the Adobe Marketplace. Lightroom Classic added AVIF support in version 11.4. If you're on an older version, converting to PNG first is the easiest fix.

Does converting AVIF to PNG lose quality?

If the source AVIF was lossless, the PNG output is also lossless — no quality loss at all. If the source AVIF was lossy (the more common web format), the PNG preserves the decoded pixel data exactly — no additional loss is introduced.

Will transparent AVIF backgrounds be preserved in the PNG?

Yes, completely. Both AVIF and PNG support full alpha transparency. The converter preserves the alpha channel pixel-for-pixel.

Can Figma open AVIF files?

As of mid-2025, Figma doesn't natively import AVIF files. Converting to PNG first is the recommended workaround for Figma, Sketch, and most web design tools.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. AVIF to PNG conversion uses your browser's built-in image decoder. Files are never uploaded, stored, or logged.

Why is the PNG much larger than the AVIF?

AVIF has excellent compression — typically 3–5× better than PNG. The PNG is larger because it's lossless and stores every pixel uncompressed. This is the trade-off for full compatibility and transparent background support.

What browsers support this converter?

Any browser with AVIF support: Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+, Safari 16+, Edge 85+. If your browser doesn't support AVIF, you'll see a decode error.

Can I convert multiple AVIF files at once?

Yes — up to 20 files per batch. Results download individually or as a single ZIP.
