Convert AVIF to PNG
Downloaded an .avif your software refuses to open? Convert it to a universal PNG right here — losslessly and without uploading anything.
AVIF vs PNG: what changes
AVIF is the newest high-efficiency image format — it compresses even better than WebP — so more sites are starting to serve it. The downside shows up the moment you save one: many editors, viewers, and apps still don’t recognise .avif at all.
Converting to PNG makes the image open everywhere. PNG is lossless and universally supported, and because both formats carry an alpha channel, a transparent AVIF keeps its transparent background through the conversion. The PNG will be larger than the AVIF — that’s simply the cost of universal, lossless compatibility.

Why convert in your browser
Nothing is uploaded
Every byte is decoded and re-encoded on your own machine using Canvas and WebAssembly. Your images never touch a server, so there is no upload bar, no queue, and no copy of your file sitting in someone else’s bucket.
Works offline
After the first load the converter is cached. Open it on a plane, on hotel Wi-Fi, or with the cable unplugged and it still runs at your CPU’s full speed.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting AVIF to PNG keep transparency?
Yes. Both formats support an alpha channel, so a transparent AVIF converts to a PNG with the same transparent background — no white box is added.
Is there any quality loss?
The PNG step is lossless. If the original AVIF used lossy compression, those characteristics are already baked in, but converting to PNG won’t add any new loss.
Why won’t my AVIF open normally?
Plenty of desktop apps and older OS builds never added AVIF support. Converting to PNG sidesteps the problem entirely since PNG opens everywhere.
Can I convert AVIF to PNG in bulk?
Yes — drop a whole folder of AVIF files, convert them together, and download them all as one ZIP.
