AVIF to PNG Converter

AVIF is the newest mainstream image format, offering the smallest files at a given quality, but it is also the format most likely to meet a tool that cannot open it yet. This converter turns an AVIF image into a PNG, which every image tool on earth can read, using the browser’s native AVIF decoding and a lossless PNG encode. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so there is no upload and no waiting in a queue. PNG output is larger than the AVIF input, that is the price of universal compatibility, but it preserves the decoded pixels exactly, making this the safe bridge from a cutting-edge format to the format everything else understands.

Quick Answer: Upload an AVIF image and convert it to a universally readable PNG.

How to Use the AVIF to PNG Converter

Choose an AVIF image file.
Press Convert to PNG.
Wait while the browser decodes the AVIF and encodes the PNG.
Download the PNG file from the link provided.
Use the PNG wherever AVIF is not supported.

Key Features

AVIF to PNG conversion in the browser.
Lossless PNG output preserving decoded pixels.
Native browser AVIF decoding, no plugins.
No uploads, queues, or accounts.
Instant download of the converted file.

Best Practices and Tips

AVIF decoding is built into Chrome and other modern browsers, which is what makes this converter possible without plugins.
If an AVIF file fails to decode, it may use a profile the browser does not support; a desktop converter is the fallback.
PNG output will be larger than the AVIF input; that is expected, since PNG compression is older and less efficient.
For photographs, consider WebP as a middle ground: smaller than PNG, more compatible than AVIF.
Keep the AVIF original for web use and treat the PNG as the compatibility copy, not a replacement.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Expecting the PNG to be as small as the AVIF; lossless universal formats are larger by nature.
Converting AVIF to JPG for a graphic with sharp edges, where JPG artefacts will show; PNG is the right target there.
Assuming an AVIF that fails here is corrupt; it may simply use an unsupported AVIF profile.
Deleting the AVIF before confirming the PNG, since re-encoding cannot recover the original compression.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AVIF?

AVIF is an image format based on the AV1 video codec, offering very efficient compression for both photographs and graphics, with support for transparency and high dynamic range. It produces smaller files than WebP or JPEG at similar quality, but support in older tools is still catching up.

Why convert AVIF to PNG?

For compatibility: PNG is readable by every image tool, editor, and platform, while AVIF support, though growing, is not yet universal. Conversion gives you a version of the image that works anywhere, at the cost of a larger file.

Is the conversion lossless?

The PNG encoding step is lossless relative to the decoded AVIF pixels, meaning the PNG contains exactly the pixels the browser decoded. The original AVIF itself may have been lossy, but conversion adds no further loss beyond that.

Which browsers can decode AVIF?

Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari in recent versions all decode AVIF natively. Older browsers cannot, which is precisely why a PNG fallback remains useful for wide distribution.

Is my image uploaded?

No. Decoding and encoding happen in your browser, and the download is generated locally. Nothing is sent to any server.
