Convert AVIF to PNG and keep every pixel
PNG is lossless, so nothing more is thrown away, and transparent areas survive the conversion. The trade-off is a considerably larger file.
- Transparency
- Preserved
- Quality
- No further loss
- Leaves your device
- Never
Which output should you pick?
Choose PNG when
- The image has a transparent background you need to keep.
- You will crop, retouch or re-export it later.
- It is a screenshot or a graphic rather than a photo.
Choose JPG instead when
- File size matters — a PNG is often several times larger.
- You only need to view, share or upload the photo.
- An upload form caps you at a few megabytes.
How it works
Choose your AVIF file
The image is read from your device and never leaves it.
PNG is already selected
This page opens with PNG as the target, so the conversion is lossless.
Convert
The image is decoded and rewritten as PNG with no further quality loss.
The picture never leaves your device
Compressing or converting a photo usually means sending it to somebody else's computer and getting a new one back. Here the work happens in the page you are already looking at: your browser opens the file, the tool rewrites it, and the browser hands you the result.
- Opened from your disk by your browser — not sent anywhere first.
- Held in the tab while the tool works, then dropped.
- Saved to your device by your browser, not by a link to a server.
- Closing the tab clears the working copy completely.
- No account, so nothing is ever attached to an identity.
- No tracking of what you worked on or what was inside the file.
There is no queue and no waiting room. The picture is worked on in front of you and released the moment the tab closes. You can read more about how the conversion runs on your own device, or check our guide to verifying it in DevTools.
What people use it for
Making a format open everywhere
PNG, JPG and WebP each suit different jobs. Convert once and stop worrying about which app can read the file.
Shipping a lighter page
Hero images are usually the heaviest thing on a site. Getting them smaller before they reach your CMS is the fastest performance win available.
Sending photos on a weak signal
On hotel Wi-Fi or a poor mobile connection a full-resolution photo can sit at sending for minutes. A smaller copy goes through in seconds.
Preparing marketplace listings
Selling platforms set their own caps on size and dimensions. Get inside them before you start filling in the form.

When something goes wrong
Damaged files, and formats outside the list above, stop with a plain message rather than a spinner that never finishes. If a picture opens in your gallery it will normally open here.
The format is not supported. Convert it to PNG or JPG first, or try one of the other image tools.
Why not an upload site
An upload-based tool is a form that posts your picture to someone else's machine. Take that step out and a lot of small annoyances disappear with it.

Questions
Does converting to PNG improve the image?
No — it preserves it. AVIF is already compressed, and PNG keeps whatever detail the AVIF file holds without discarding more. It cannot bring back detail that was never captured.
Will my transparent background survive?
Yes. Both AVIF and PNG support transparency, and those areas are carried across unchanged. This is the main reason to choose PNG over JPG here, since JPG has no transparency and fills those regions with white.
Why is the PNG so much larger?
PNG stores every pixel losslessly, while AVIF uses modern compression. A PNG of the same picture is routinely several times larger. If size matters more than transparency, convert to JPG instead.
Which browsers can open AVIF?
Chrome and Edge 85 and newer, Firefox 93 and newer, and Safari 16 and newer. On anything older this page cannot read the file, and it will say so plainly rather than handing back an empty or broken image.
Is there a file size limit?
The limit is your device rather than a plan. The work happens in your browser, so large images are bounded by available memory instead of a paid tier.
Is there a file size limit?
No fixed limit is imposed by the tool. The practical ceiling is how much memory your device has free, because the whole job runs inside this browser tab.
