.avif only. Drop several for a batch.

    Decoding relies on your browser's AVIF support (recent Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari 16+). Transparency is preserved in the PNG.

    How to convert AVIF to PNG

    1. Drop your .avif files onto the drop zone, or click to browse.
    2. Click Convert to PNG and let your browser decode each image.
    3. Download a single PNG, or a zip when you have converted several.

    Why convert AVIF to PNG?

    AVIF delivers remarkable compression, but that efficiency comes at the cost of compatibility — many editors, viewers and older systems still cannot open it. When you need a file that works everywhere and you also want to keep transparency, PNG is the natural target. Unlike JPG, PNG has a full alpha channel, so an AVIF with a transparent background converts to a PNG that stays transparent, which matters for logos, icons and cut-out product images. PNG is also lossless, so the pixels are preserved exactly as your browser decoded the AVIF, with no additional compression layered on top. This converter leans on your browser's own AVIF decoder, drawing each image to a canvas and re-encoding it locally, so nothing is ever uploaded. Because it depends on the browser, it works in recent versions of Chrome, Edge and Firefox and in Safari 16 and later; a very old browser without AVIF support will fail to decode the file. Do expect the PNG to be larger than the AVIF — sometimes much larger for detailed photos — since you are swapping a highly compressed format for a lossless one. For graphics and images with transparency, that trade is usually well worth it. No account, no watermark, no server.

    FAQ

    Why convert AVIF to PNG instead of JPG?

    Choose PNG when you need to keep transparency or want lossless output. JPG would flatten transparent areas onto a solid colour and add lossy compression.

    Which browsers can decode AVIF here?

    Recent Chrome, Edge and Firefox, plus Safari 16 and newer. Older browsers without AVIF support cannot decode the files, so conversion would fail.

    Why is the PNG so much bigger?

    AVIF is extremely space-efficient, while PNG is lossless. Moving from one to the other typically increases file size, especially for photographic content.

    Are my AVIF files uploaded?

    No. Decoding and encoding happen entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device.
