What Makes This Converter Different
Most tools that convert AVIF to PNG work by uploading your image to a server, converting it there, and sending a PNG back. This one is different: it uses your browser's own AVIF decoder to do the work on your device. When you drop a file, JavaScript reads it into memory, draws the decoded pixels onto a canvas, and exports a PNG — the .avif to png step happens entirely between your CPU and your screen. Nothing is queued, logged, or stored.
If you prefer proof to promises, open your browser's DevTools, switch to the Network panel, and convert a file. You will not see any request carrying your image data out to the internet. Some people even search for “conver avif to png” — a common misspelling — and end up on sites that quietly send their files to the cloud. Here there is simply nothing to send.
How to Convert AVIF to PNG
Here is how to convert AVIF to PNG in three steps. The process is the same whether you have one image or a hundred, and it covers both how to save AVIF as PNG and how to turn AVIF into PNG without installing anything.
Add your AVIF files
Drag your .avif images onto the drop zone, click “Choose files” to pick them, or paste an image straight from your clipboard. You can add as many files as you like.
Let the browser convert them
Each file is decoded and re-encoded as a PNG on the spot. This is how to save AVIF as PNG without any software: the conversion runs locally, so nothing is uploaded or queued on a server.
Download your PNG images
Download each PNG individually, or grab everything at once with Download All (ZIP). That is all it takes to turn AVIF into PNG and get standard images you can open anywhere.
Features
Batch convert + ZIP
Queue dozens of files at once and download them all in a single ZIP archive instead of clicking through them one by one.
Lossless PNG output
PNG is a lossless format, so every pixel from the decoded AVIF is preserved exactly. There is no quality slider because there is no quality to lose.
No upload
Your images are decoded in the browser and never sent anywhere. Open the DevTools Network panel while converting to confirm it for yourself.
Free & unlimited
No account, no credits, no daily cap. Convert one file or a thousand — the tool does not count, meter, or watermark anything.
Works on any OS
It runs in the browser, so the same page works on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and iOS without installing anything.
No watermark
The PNG you download is a clean, exact conversion of your image. Nothing is stamped, resized, or added to it.
When to Use This Tool
Converting an AVIF file to PNG is worth it whenever something in your workflow refuses to read AVIF. Common situations include:
- You right-clicked an image on a web page and saved it, only to find you have an .avif file your usual viewer will not open. Converting that AVIF file to PNG makes it open in any image program.
- An upload form — a job application, a government portal, a print shop — rejects .avif and accepts only PNG or JPG. Change AVIF to PNG here and upload the result.
- Older software, such as an older version of Photoshop or a legacy design app, does not recognize the format. Turn AVIF to PNG first and the file opens as expected.
- You are archiving or migrating an image library and want a widely compatible format. Batch-convert the whole set and download it as one ZIP.
When NOT to Use This Tool
For a handful of images, this tool is the fastest option. For very large batches of thousands of files, or for automated pipelines that run without anyone clicking a button, a command-line tool is a better fit. FFmpeg converts from AVIF to PNG in a single line:
ffmpeg -i input.avif output.pngWrap that in a loop or a build script and you can process an entire directory unattended — something a browser tab is not designed to do.
How This Tool Compares
Here is an honest look at the common ways to get a PNG out of an AVIF file. Each option is good at something different.
| Tool | Uploads files? | File limit | Install needed? | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| This Tool | No — stays in browser | None (100 MB per file) | No | Quick, private conversions of a few or many files |
| Ezgif | Yes | File-size cap per upload | No | Quick edits when you don’t mind uploading |
| CloudConvert | Yes | Free-tier conversion quota | No | Many formats and API-driven workflows |
| Photoshop | No (local app) | None | Yes — paid license | Editing you were already doing in Photoshop |
| Command Line (ffmpeg) | No (local) | None | Yes — one-time setup | Automation and very large batches |
About the AVIF Format
AVIF, the AV1 Image File Format, is a modern image format built on the AV1 video codec. Because AV1 is a highly efficient codec, AVIF files are often around 50% smaller than an equivalent JPEG at similar visual quality, while also supporting transparency, wide color, and HDR. That efficiency is why websites and phones increasingly serve images as AVIF: smaller files mean faster pages and less data.
Browser support is now broad — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge can all display AVIF in current versions. The gap is on the desktop. Plenty of image viewers, older operating systems, and design apps were written before AVIF existed and do not include an AV1 decoder, so they still cannot open a .avif file even though your browser can. Converting to PNG bridges that gap with a format every program understands.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. It is completely free with no account, no subscription, and no usage limits. Because the work happens in your browser, there are no server costs to pass on to you.
No. Every file is decoded and re-encoded locally in your browser. You can open your browser’s DevTools Network panel while converting and you will see that no image data leaves your device.
The PNG encoding step is lossless, so it preserves the decoded image exactly. Note that the original AVIF may itself have been saved with lossy compression; converting it to PNG cannot recover detail that was already discarded, but it will not remove any further quality.
Open this page in Chrome, Edge, or Firefox on Windows, then drag your .avif files onto the drop zone and download the PNGs. Nothing needs to be installed, which is handy because older Windows versions cannot open AVIF files on their own.
Use Safari 16.4+ or Chrome on macOS and drop your files here. macOS can preview AVIF in recent versions, but many apps still expect PNG or JPG, so converting first avoids surprises.
Windows 11 can open AVIF once the AV1 Video Extension is installed, and Windows 10 needs both the AV1 and HEIF extensions. On a clean system AVIF often will not open, which is a common reason people convert to PNG.
A .avif file is an image saved in the AV1 Image File Format. It uses the AV1 video codec to compress still images, which makes files small but also means older software may not recognize them yet.
Yes. Add as many files as you want — by dragging, selecting, or pasting — and each is converted in turn. Use the Download All (ZIP) button to save the whole batch in one archive.
Each file can be up to 100 MB. Since everything runs in memory in your browser, extremely large files depend on the RAM available on your device.
No. This tool only converts in one direction, from AVIF to PNG. It is built to make AVIF images openable everywhere rather than to create new AVIF files, so PNG-to-AVIF is intentionally out of scope.
