AVIF to PNG Converter
Repackage .avif images as lossless PNGs — transparency intact, decoded by your browser's own AVIF codec, converted and verified right here, nothing uploaded.
Convert AVIF files to PNG
Drop .avif files and download verified PNGs — alpha preserved, real before/after sizes shown.
Nothing to download: your browser is the decoder
Every current browser — Chrome and Edge, Firefox since 93, Safari since 16.4 — ships native AVIF decoding, so this page has no decoder to send you. Your file is decoded by the browser's own codec, drawn to a canvas, and encoded losslessly as PNG. That makes this one of the lightest tools on the site: the only JavaScript involved is the shared page logic, and the page tells you plainly at load time if your browser is too old to decode AVIF, rather than failing with a cryptic error.
PNG as the lossless landing place
PNG stores the decoded pixels exactly, alpha channel included, and never degrades no matter how many times it is re-saved. That makes it the right destination when an AVIF needs editing, layering, or submission to tools that want lossless input. The cost is bytes: PNG will be several times the AVIF's size for photographic content, and the row shows the measured growth rather than hiding it. One thing PNG cannot do is recover detail the AVIF's compression already discarded — the conversion preserves, it does not restore.
The honest details
- Transparency preserved: AVIF alpha maps straight onto PNG alpha — no flattening, no background color needed.
- Decoded natively: your browser's own AVIF codec does the decoding — this page ships no decoder and fetches nothing extra.
- Feature-checked up front: the page probes AVIF decoding with a tiny test image at load time and shows a plain-language notice if your browser cannot do it.
- Animated AVIFs: image sequences keep their first frame, and the row says so.
- Metadata is stripped: EXIF — including GPS location — does not survive the conversion. A privacy win for sharing; keep your originals.
- Verified output: every PNG is re-decoded and dimension-checked before its download button appears.

Frequently asked questions
Why convert AVIF to PNG?
Editing and compatibility. PNG is lossless and universally supported by editors, office tools, and upload forms, and it keeps transparency. Converting an AVIF to PNG gives you a file you can edit repeatedly without generation loss — at a much larger size, which the row reports honestly.
Does transparency survive?
Yes. Both AVIF and PNG carry full alpha channels, so transparent and semi-transparent areas come through intact — no background flattening, no halo artifacts.
How does this page decode AVIF without downloading a decoder?
Your browser already has one. Chrome and Edge, Firefox 93+, and Safari 16.4+ ship native AVIF decoding, so this page simply asks the browser to decode — nothing extra is fetched. The page checks this at load time and says plainly if your browser is too old.
Will the PNG be much bigger than the AVIF?
Usually dramatically so — that is the price of losslessness. AVIF’s modern lossy compression is exactly what made the file small; PNG stores every pixel faithfully. The row shows the measured change so the trade is visible.
Is any quality lost in the conversion?
No new loss is added: PNG encodes the decoded pixels exactly. What you cannot recover is whatever the AVIF’s own lossy compression already discarded — converting to PNG preserves the image as it currently decodes, it does not restore detail.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Decoding, converting, and verification all run in your browser tab, and the site’s security policy blocks requests to any other origin — verifiable in your network inspector.
Local processing: your images are decoded, converted, and verified inside your browser and never transmitted — see the methodology page for how to verify the no-upload claim yourself.
