PNG is lossless and keeps transparency — but it is typically 5–10× larger than the AVIF for photos. That is normal, not a defect.

How to convert AVIF to PNG without uploading it
- Drop your AVIF files above — or paste one straight from your clipboard. You can add up to 20 at once.
- Wait a second per file. Your browser decodes the AVIF and re-encodes it as a lossless PNG. Transparency is kept exactly — there is nothing to configure.
- Download each file, or grab everything as one ZIP. Your originals are untouched and your file data never leaves your device.
AVIF vs PNG — which one do you actually need?
| AVIF | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| File size (photo) | Tiny — the smallest of any common format | Large — typically 5–10× the AVIF |
| Quality | Lossy — some detail is discarded to save space | Lossless — every pixel stored exactly |
| Transparency | Yes, with an alpha channel | Yes, with an alpha channel |
| Animation | Yes (animated AVIF) | No — still images only |
| Opens everywhere | No — older editors, CMSs and print tools often refuse it | Yes — PNG opens in practically everything |
| Best for | Web pages and phone storage | Editing, printing, uploading to tools that reject AVIF |
Why convert AVIF at all?
AVIF compresses far better than PNG — that is why phones and browsers love it. But older image editors, print tools, game engines, and content management systems often cannot open it. Converting to PNG gives you a file that opens everywhere, with every pixel preserved and transparency intact. The price is size: expect the PNG to be much larger than the AVIF, especially for photos.
File-size guidance
- Photos: a 12 MP phone photo AVIF of ~1 MB typically becomes a PNG of roughly 5–10 MB. That is the honest cost of lossless.
- Screenshots, logos, flat graphics: these compress well as PNG, so the output is often close to — sometimes even smaller than — the AVIF.
- Need it smaller? PNG cannot be shrunk without losing pixels. For a smaller file, convert to JPG instead (see AVIF to JPG below) — JPG is lossy, but far smaller.
Honest limitations
- PNG files are typically much larger than the AVIF (5–10× for photos) — normal, not a defect. PNG is lossless; AVIF is not.
- Animated AVIF converts to its first frame only — PNG has no animation. The file card warns you when this happens.
- 10-bit / HDR AVIF is tone-mapped to 8-bit by the browser canvas path, so HDR detail is not preserved.
- EXIF metadata is dropped on re-encode. Orientation is applied where the browser exposes it, so photos still come out upright.
- Conversion cannot rebuild detail a lossy AVIF encoder already threw away — the PNG is a perfect copy of the decoded image, not of the original photo.
- Old browsers (~5–6%) cannot decode AVIF at all. This page detects that on load and says so plainly.
- Estimates are estimates — the size shown while converting is a rough model; the real size is shown once conversion finishes.
Frequently asked questions
How can I convert AVIF to PNG without uploading it anywhere?
This converter runs entirely in your browser: it decodes your AVIF with your browser's built-in support and re-encodes it as PNG on a canvas. Your file data never leaves your device — the only third-party requests are the site's own analytics, which load at page open and never see your files. Verify it in the Network tab while it works.
Is the PNG lossless? Will I lose quality converting AVIF to PNG?
Yes — PNG is lossless, so the pixels your browser decoded are stored exactly, with no further quality loss. What you cannot get back is detail the AVIF encoder already threw away: AVIF is lossy, so a PNG made from an AVIF is a perfect copy of the decoded image, not of the original photo before it was compressed to AVIF.
Why is my PNG so much larger than the original AVIF?
That is normal, not a defect. AVIF compresses photos extremely well — typically 5–10× smaller than a lossless PNG of the same image. PNG stores every pixel exactly, so it needs far more bytes. The tool shows the size on each file and says so plainly instead of hiding it.
Does converting AVIF to PNG keep transparency?
Yes. PNG has an alpha channel, so transparent areas in your AVIF stay transparent in the PNG — nothing is flattened onto a background. Each converted file is marked when transparency was found, and the preview shows a checkerboard behind transparent areas.
Can I convert an animated AVIF to PNG?
Only the first frame. PNG has no animation, so an animated AVIF converts to a still PNG of its first frame — the tool warns you on the file card instead of silently dropping the animation. For the full animation, keep the AVIF or convert to a video or GIF format.
What about HDR or 10-bit AVIF files?
10-bit and HDR AVIF files are tone-mapped down to 8-bit by the browser canvas path, so HDR detail is not preserved in the PNG. If you need the HDR data, keep the original AVIF — this tool is for getting a universally readable 8-bit PNG.
Is there a file size or daily limit?
No daily limit, no account. A 25 MB cap per file, 20 files per batch, and a 50 megapixel cap per image apply, because browsers cannot safely hold larger images in memory.
Does converting strip EXIF data or change orientation?
Re-encoding drops EXIF metadata (camera settings, location) — keep the original if you need it. Orientation is applied where the browser exposes it, so rotated photos come out upright.
How do I verify my files really never upload?
Open developer tools (F12), go to the Network tab, then convert a file. Your file data never leaves your device — the only third-party requests are the site's own analytics, which load at page open and never see your files. The live counter above shows the same number.
