Decode an AVIF and keep a PNG
AVIF to PNG decodes in the browser and writes a PNG, so a clear background can stay. There is no quality slider. PNG to AVIF is not offered, because the canvas would hand back a PNG and call it something else.
Lossless pixels after decode
The PNG stores what the browser decoded. A photo PNG is often larger than the AVIF. That is the trade for edges and any clear pixels.
Icons and stickers
A photo AVIF is usually opaque. A sticker may have empty pixels, and those can remain. JPG would have painted them white.

Questions about AVIF to PNG
Does every AVIF have transparency?
No. Photos are usually opaque. Icons and stickers may not be.
Why is the PNG bigger?
AVIF compresses. PNG keeps the decoded pixels, so a photo often grows.
Why no PNG to AVIF?
The canvas returns a PNG for that request in current browsers. The download would lie.
Will it look softer?
It keeps the decoded pixels. It does not add JPEG blur.
Can I drop HEIC?
No. HEIC to PNG is the other page.
Is the file uploaded?
No. Decode and the PNG stay in this tab.
