About this tool
AVIF compresses photographs extremely well, but support in editors, CMS uploaders and older operating systems is still patchy. This tool uses your browser's built-in AVIF decoder and writes the decoded pixels into a lossless PNG.
How to use the AVIF to PNG tool
- Select an AVIF file. Add one or more .avif files. The tool checks the file's real brand signature before attempting to decode it.
- Let the browser decode it. Decoding is performed by the browser itself, so no large WebAssembly decoder needs to be downloaded.
- Download the PNG. Each result is a standard 8-bit RGBA PNG you can open in any image editor.
Supported formats
Input
- AVIF (.avif)
- AVIF still images, including alpha
Output
- PNG (image/png, 8-bit RGBA)
Inputs are validated before anything is processed. Invalid values and unsupported files are rejected with a clear error instead of failing silently.
Frequently asked questions
Which browsers can decode AVIF?
Chrome and Edge 85+, Firefox 93+ and Safari 16.4+ ship native AVIF decoding. On an older browser the tool stops with a clear unsupported-format message rather than producing a corrupt file.
Why not use a WebAssembly AVIF decoder?
A WASM decoder would add several megabytes to the first load and is slower than the native decoder on supported browsers. We rely on the native decoder and report the limitation explicitly when it is missing.
Is HDR or 10-bit AVIF preserved?
No. Canvas output is 8-bit RGBA, so a 10-bit or HDR source is tone-mapped to 8 bits by the browser before the PNG is written. For archival HDR work, use a desktop converter.
What about animated AVIF?
Animated AVIF sequences export the first frame only, because canvas APIs do not expose frame iteration.
Privacy
Decoding uses the browser's own image pipeline and no network request is made with your file.
No account is required and no file is ever uploaded. See the privacy policy for details about analytics and the limited data this site stores.
Known limitations
- Requires native browser AVIF decoding (Chrome/Edge 85+, Firefox 93+, Safari 16.4+).
- Output is 8-bit RGBA; 10-bit and HDR AVIF content is converted to 8-bit.
- Animated AVIF exports the first frame only.
