Convert AVIF to PNG on Mac, offline
Need to turn a .avif file into PNG? Citrus converts AVIF to PNG right on your Mac, offline, using Apple's own engines. Nothing is uploaded to any server, which matters for client work, private photos and contracts.
What to expect
PNG is lossless, but the AVIF source already lost detail when it was saved, so the file gets bigger without getting sharper. Resize by percent or pixels, crop, and choose whether to keep EXIF and location data, all before converting.
How to convert AVIF to PNG
Open Citrus from the menu bar (the citrus slice icon). Drop your .avif file, or several, into the window. You can also drag a file onto the menu bar icon to open the quick wheel. Choose PNG as the output format and adjust options if you want, like size, quality or resolution. Press Convert. Your new files appear next to the originals, and the originals are never changed.
About the formats
AVIF: AVIF is a modern, very efficient image format used on the web. Support in desktop editing apps is still patchy.
PNG: PNG is a lossless image format with transparency. It is ideal for screenshots, logos and graphics, but photos become large files.
