About AVIF to PNG Converter

AVIF to PNG Converter is a single-purpose tool that turns .avif images into standard PNG files. There is no account, no upload queue, and no dashboard — you drop a file, and you get a PNG back. That is the whole product.

Why this exists

AVIF has spread quickly across the web because it produces very small files. The catch is that plenty of software still cannot open it: older image viewers, a lot of desktop apps, and clean installs of Windows will often refuse a .avif file even though the browser that downloaded it displays it fine. Most people who hit this just want the picture in a format that works everywhere. PNG is that format, so this tool does one conversion and does it well.

How it works

The conversion runs entirely in your browser. When you add a file, the page uses the browser's built-in AVIF decoder through createImageBitmap, draws the decoded image onto an HTML canvas, and exports it as a lossless PNG with canvas.toBlob. Because every step happens on your own device, your files never leave the browser — there is no server that receives, processes, or returns them. You can confirm this yourself by opening the DevTools Network panel while you convert.

Privacy

Because nothing is uploaded, there is nothing for us to collect or store. Your images are never sent anywhere, never written to a database, and never retained. The site keeps no user accounts. The only data collected is anonymous, aggregate usage analytics that help us understand which pages are useful — never the contents of your files.

Limitations

A browser-based tool has honest limits. It relies on your browser's AVIF support, so you need a reasonably current version of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge; very old browsers cannot decode AVIF at all. Files are processed in memory, so extremely large images depend on the RAM your device has available. And if you need to convert thousands of files or wire conversion into an automated pipeline, a command-line tool such as ffmpeg -i input.avif output.png is the better choice. For everyday, one-off, or moderate batch conversions, this tool is faster and simpler.
