Convert AVIF to PNG
AVIF in, PNG out, in a second or two — processed on your device, nothing uploaded.
Output format
What this tool does
It decodes your AVIF file and re-encodes the pixels as PNG, losslessly. Your browser decodes AVIF natively (Chrome, Firefox and Safari 16.4+ all do), so no extra download is needed. The file is read, converted and offered back as a download without touching the network.
About AVIF
AVIF is the newest mainstream web format (2019), built on the AV1 video codec by the Alliance for Open Media. It compresses even harder than WebP — often half the size of JPEG — with transparency, HDR and wide colour, and is royalty-free. It is good for websites that want the smallest possible images and can serve fallbacks; less good for anything that leaves the web: most desktop programs, printers, e-mail clients and upload forms still do not recognise it, and encoding it is slow. Chrome 85+, Firefox 93+ and Safari 16.4+ display it; support outside browsers is still thin in 2026.
About PNG
PNG is the lossless raster format of the web: every pixel is stored exactly, with an optional alpha channel for transparency. It was designed in 1996 as a patent-free replacement for GIF and is supported by literally everything that shows images. It is good for screenshots, logos, icons, UI graphics, anything with sharp edges, flat colour or text, and anything that needs a transparent background; less good for photographs — a photo saved as PNG is typically 5–10× larger than the same photo as a good-quality JPEG with no visible benefit. Universal: every browser, OS, editor, office suite and messaging app since the late 1990s.
What changes going from AVIF to PNG
- Transparency is kept. Both formats support an alpha channel.
- Animation is dropped. PNG is a still format; you get the first frame.
- Quality: nothing is lost — PNG stores the decoded pixels exactly.
- Size: Roughly 50% smaller than JPEG and 20% smaller than WebP at matched quality vs. small for flat graphics, very large for photos (a 12-megapixel photo is 20–30 MB as PNG).
- Metadata: EXIF (camera, date, GPS) is not carried over — the browser decodes pixels, not tags. That is a privacy plus for sharing and a minus if you rely on dates in the file.
Lossless landing
PNG keeps AVIF's transparency and avoids another round of lossy compression, at the cost of a far larger file. Good for graphics you saved from the web; for photos, AVIF to JPG is smaller.

Frequently asked questions
Is my AVIF file uploaded?
No. The page is static and has no upload endpoint; your browser does the work on your own device and the result is saved straight back to your disk. The site's Content-Security-Policy only allows it to talk to its own origin, so it cannot send your file anywhere even by accident. Load the page, disconnect from the internet, and it still works.
Does AVIF to PNG lose quality?
No. PNG is lossless: the pixels the browser decoded from your AVIF are stored exactly.
Will transparency survive?
Yes — PNG supports an alpha channel, so transparent areas of the AVIF stay transparent in the output.
Is it free? Any limits or watermark?
Free, no account, no watermark, no daily quota. Because nothing runs on our servers there is nothing to meter. The only limits are your device's memory — anything up to roughly 50 megapixels is fine on a modern phone or laptop.
Can I do several files at once?
One file at a time at the moment — drop the next one as soon as you have downloaded the first. Batch processing with a ZIP in and out is planned.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes — iPhone, iPad and Android browsers all run it. AVIF decoding needs Safari 16.4+ or any recent Chrome/Firefox. Large files take a few seconds longer on a phone than on a laptop.
