Why convert AVIF to PNG

AVIF is very efficient but still isn't accepted everywhere — older design software, some print workflows, and plenty of tools that predate AVIF only understand PNG. Converting gives you a universally-compatible, lossless file, at the cost of AVIF's much smaller size.

Edge cases this tool handles

Animated or HDR AVIF

Only the first frame is converted, and your browser tone-maps any HDR/wide-gamut color down to standard sRGB for the PNG, the same way it would display the image on a standard screen.

Transparent AVIF

Fully preserved — PNG supports an alpha channel natively, so this conversion doesn't flatten anything onto a background.

Older browsers

AVIF decoding depends on browser support. All current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari can decode it; a very old or unusual browser might not, in which case the tool will say so rather than fail silently.

Frequently asked questions

Does converting AVIF to PNG upload my file anywhere?

No. The image is decoded and re-encoded entirely inside your browser using a canvas — the file never leaves your device or touches a server.

Do I need a special browser for this to work?

No — all current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari can decode AVIF natively. Only a very old browser version might not support it.

Does converting to PNG keep transparency?

Yes — PNG supports an alpha channel natively, so any transparent or semi-transparent pixels in the source AVIF are preserved exactly.

What happens to HDR or wide-gamut color?

Your browser tone-maps it down to standard sRGB when drawing to the canvas — the same adjustment that happens whenever an HDR image is shown on a standard display.
