Convert AVIF to PNG
Drop one or many AVIF files and get pixel-perfect PNG copies. Decoded by your browser, re-encoded by a Canvas, transferred nowhere.
How to convert AVIF to PNG
- Drop your AVIF files into the box.
- The browser decodes them natively and a Canvas re-encodes them as PNG.
- Download the PNG copies and use them in any classic editor.
Why convert AVIF to PNG?
Use PNG when you need to take an AVIF image into editing software (Photoshop, Affinity, GIMP, Figma) without baking another lossy round into the file, or when the destination platform refuses AVIF and would otherwise force you to a lossy alternative. PNG also makes sense if the AVIF carries an alpha channel that you must preserve exactly. The trade-off, as always with PNG, is a larger file: a 200 KB AVIF photograph easily becomes 1.5–3 MB as PNG. For photos and screenshots that you only need to view or share, AVIF to JPG is usually the better choice because the file size stays manageable.

Frequently asked questions
Is the conversion truly lossless?+
The PNG re-encode itself is lossless. The original AVIF compression cannot be reversed, so the PNG matches what you see in the browser, not the source picture before AVIF was ever encoded.
Are files uploaded?+
No. Decode and encode happen in your browser tab.
Why is the PNG so much larger?+
PNG keeps every pixel uncompressed in colour terms; AVIF uses modern lossy compression that throws away invisible detail. A 5–20x size increase is normal.
Will transparency be preserved?+
Yes. The alpha channel from the AVIF carries through to the PNG.
Does it support animated AVIF?+
No. Only the first frame is exported.
Which browsers work?+
Any modern browser with native AVIF decoding (Chrome 85+, Edge 121+, Firefox 113+, Safari 16.4+, Opera 71+).
