Compatibility for a modern format
AVIF is superb on the web but still refused by plenty of desktop editors, older Windows versions, upload forms and print services. A PNG opens in every one of them without argument.

Overview
About the AVIF to PNG Converter
Convert AVIF to PNG free online — turn a modern AV1 image into a lossless PNG that older editors and print services accept, with transparency kept. No upload.
AVIF is the web's newest image format
AVIF arrived as the still-image sibling of the AV1 video codec, and it is genuinely impressive: about half the size of a JPEG at comparable quality, with support for HDR, wide colour gamuts and a full alpha channel. Every current browser displays it, which is why so many sites now serve AVIF. The catch is everything around the browser — desktop editors, older operating systems, upload validators and print bureaus — has been much slower to catch up.
Converting for the tools that lag behind
That gap is exactly when you need AVIF to PNG. A PNG is the lowest common denominator of image formats: lossless, transparent-capable and opened by essentially every piece of software in existence. Decoding the AVIF and re-encoding it as a PNG gives you a file that will not be rejected by an old editor or a stubborn upload form, at the cost of a larger byte count — the price of lossless, universal storage.
Batch conversion, privately
Up to twenty files convert in one run, each up to 25 MB, processed one at a time so memory stays predictable, with a summary strip totalling the batch. Each result is named after its source with a .png extension. Nothing is uploaded: the decode, the re-encode and every download happen inside the tab, with no account and no watermark, because there is no server on the other end.
Step by step
How to use the AVIF to PNG Converter
Drop one or more images onto the upload area — an .avif or any other format, which is detected automatically.
Optionally set a maximum dimension; anything larger is scaled down in the same pass.
Press Convert to PNG — each file is decoded and re-encoded locally, one file at a time.
Read the result row: it names the format that arrived and the size change it caused.
Download each PNG on its own, or take the whole batch from the results list.
Why use it
Benefits and common use cases
What this tool is good for, and what it deliberately does not try to do.
Transparency preserved
AVIF carries a real alpha channel, and PNG keeps it, so a logo or cut-out with soft, semi-transparent edges survives the conversion exactly.
Lossless output
PNG stores every decoded pixel without further compression, so the result is exactly as sharp as the AVIF the browser decoded.
Private by construction
The decode and re-encode run in the browser's own image pipeline, so nothing is uploaded and no copy is stored.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Short, honest answers about quality, limits and privacy.
What is an AVIF file?
AVIF is the AV1 Image File Format, a modern image type based on the AV1 video codec. At similar visual quality it is roughly half the size of a JPEG, and it supports high dynamic range, wide colour and a full alpha channel. Browsers adopted it quickly; editing and print software has been slower.
Why convert AVIF to PNG?
Almost always for compatibility. If a design tool, an older operating system, an upload form or a print service will not open your AVIF, a lossless PNG is the safe universal target — it is accepted everywhere and keeps transparency.
Why is the PNG bigger than the AVIF?
AVIF is a highly efficient lossy format and PNG is lossless, so the PNG has to store every pixel exactly. Expect it to be several times larger. If size matters more than exactness, convert AVIF to JPG instead, or run the PNG through the compressor.
Can every browser decode AVIF?
Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari 16 and later all decode AVIF natively, which covers almost everyone. On a much older browser that cannot, the file will fail to decode and the result row will say so rather than producing a broken image.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
Never. There is no upload endpoint. The decode, the re-encode and every download happen inside your tab, and each result uses a local object URL released shortly after the click.
