AVIF to PNG Converter
Decode a modern AVIF image and save it as a universally supported PNG.
Upload AVIF file
Click to browse or drag and drop your image
AVIF is a small, modern format, but plenty of older editors, chat apps and operating-system tools still cannot open one. This converter decodes your AVIF with the browser's own image engine, draws it to a canvas, and exports a PNG — a format essentially everything can read. The whole conversion runs locally, so nothing is uploaded.
Expect the PNG to be much larger
AVIF is aggressively compressed; PNG is lossless and stores pixels far less compactly. So a tiny AVIF will usually balloon into a considerably bigger PNG. That is normal and not a bug — you are trading file size for compatibility. Converting back and forth does not restore detail either: any quality the original AVIF already discarded stays gone; the PNG simply preserves exactly what the AVIF contained, transparency included.
Your browser must be able to decode AVIF
Because the conversion relies on the browser to read the AVIF in the first place, you need a browser that supports AVIF decoding — current Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari and Opera all do. If your image will not load at all, the browser is too old; update it or open the file in an app that supports AVIF and re-export from there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the PNG bigger than the AVIF?
PNG is lossless and does not compress nearly as hard as AVIF, so the same picture is normally several times larger as a PNG. You are swapping small size for wide compatibility.
Will transparency be kept?
Yes. PNG supports an alpha channel, so any transparency in the AVIF is preserved in the exported PNG.
The AVIF will not load — what is wrong?
Your browser probably cannot decode AVIF. Update to a current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari or Opera and try again.
Is the image sent to a server?
No. It is decoded and re-encoded on a canvas in your browser, entirely on your device.
