About the AVIF to PNG
AVIF to PNG converts AVIF pictures into PNG files. AVIF is a new, very efficient image format that many websites and cameras now use, but a lot of software, from photo editors to office programs and print shops, cannot open it yet. Drop in one AVIF image or many, and this page converts each one in your browser to a PNG at its full size, keeping transparency, so you can edit, print, upload or share it anywhere. Your pictures are never uploaded, and you can download them singly or as a ZIP.

Why AVIF files are common now
AVIF gives sharp pictures at very small sizes, so websites, phones and image services have started to use it. When you download a picture, you may get an AVIF file that your older programs refuse to open. Converting to PNG gives you a file that works with nearly everything.
When to pick PNG or JPG
PNG is the right choice for graphics, screenshots, logos and anything with transparency, or when you want to edit the picture without further loss. JPG is better for photographs when a smaller file matters. If you need JPG, use AVIF to JPG.
- PNG: lossless, transparency, larger files
- JPG: small files, no transparency
- Keep the AVIF if the receiving program supports it
Check the result
Open the PNG and compare it with the original. The converter keeps the full pixel size and colours. If a picture looks different, your viewer may be handling colour profiles in another way.

Frequently asked questions
What is an AVIF file?
A modern image format based on video compression. It makes pictures much smaller than JPG at the same quality, but not all programs can open it.
Why can't I open my AVIF file?
Older versions of Windows, Photoshop, Word and many apps do not support AVIF yet. Convert it to PNG or JPG to open it.
Does this tool need a modern browser?
Yes. The browser must be able to display AVIF, which current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari 16 or newer can.
Is transparency kept?
Yes. PNG supports transparent areas, and they are preserved.
Why is the PNG much larger?
AVIF compresses very well. PNG is lossless and much larger. If size matters, convert to JPG instead.
Does it handle animated AVIF?
Only the first frame is saved.
Are my images uploaded?
No. They are converted on your device.
Why do websites use AVIF?
It makes pictures much smaller than JPG or PNG at the same visible quality, so pages load faster and use less data.
Can I convert AVIF on my phone?
Yes, in a current phone browser that supports AVIF. Pick the files, wait for the conversion and save the PNGs.
Will the colours stay the same?
Yes. Standard colour pictures look the same. Wide-gamut or HDR AVIF files are shown in standard colour, which can look a little flatter.
Can I convert a whole folder?
Select all the files in the picker, or drop them together, and download the ZIP when they are done.
Is it free?
Yes, with no sign-up and no limit from us.
