Does converting to PNG change the image?

PNG is lossless, so the conversion re-saves the exact pixels the AVIF decodes to without adding compression artifacts. Any quality loss that already happened when the AVIF was first encoded stays baked in.

Will the PNG be larger than the AVIF?

Usually, yes. AVIF compresses photos far more aggressively than PNG, so a small AVIF often becomes a much larger PNG. PNG suits flat graphics, screenshots, and images with transparency better than photos.

Is transparency kept?

Yes. AVIF's alpha channel maps directly onto PNG's alpha channel, so transparent and semi-transparent areas are preserved.

Why does an AVIF fail to open?

Decoding relies on the browser's built-in AVIF support. Current versions of Chrome, Firefox, and Safari handle it; on an older browser an AVIF may not decode and the file is skipped.

Can I convert several files at once?

Yes. Drop as many AVIF files as you like. Each is converted on its own, and you can download them individually or as a single zip.

AVIF to PNG

Decodes the AVIF and re-encodes it as a lossless PNG.

What this does

AVIF is a modern image format built on the AV1 video codec. It packs small file sizes, but plenty of editors, chat apps, and older browsers still refuse to open it. This tool reads each AVIF you drop and re-encodes the decoded pixels as a PNG.

Everything runs in your browser. The decode and the PNG encode both happen on a canvas in this tab, so the images never leave your machine and no file is uploaded to a server. AVIF transparency carries straight through, since PNG stores a full alpha channel.

How it works

1Drop your AVIF images, or click to pick them.
2Each file is decoded and re-encoded to PNG in the tab.
3Download one PNG at a time, or grab them all as a zip.
