Turn AVIF images into lossless PNG files with the transparency kept - for smaller photos pick AVIF to JPG instead.
Want the PNG as a Windows or website icon next? Drop it into the PNG to ICO converter, or go straight to AVIF to ICO.
AVIF is new, and a lot of software has not caught up yet.
Windows Photos needs the AV1 Video Extension, and older Photoshop, Office and most print shops cannot read it at all.
PNG opens everywhere and keeps every pixel, so it is the safest copy to edit or archive. Just want a look? Use the AVIF Viewer.

Need the PNG back as AVIF later? PNG to AVIF keeps the transparency. Test files are in the AVIF sample files.
Drop your AVIF files into the box, pick a preset or keep Original, and press Convert to PNG.
One file downloads as a PNG, more than two come as a ZIP.
Windows Photos needs the AV1 Video Extension from the Microsoft Store to open AVIF. Many other programs - older Photoshop versions, Office, print shops, upload forms - do not read AVIF at all.
PNG opens everywhere, so converting fixes it.
No. Your browser decodes the AVIF and writes the PNG on your device.
Only if your browser cannot read a file at all (for example an old Safari) is that one file decoded on our server - the page tells you when that happens, and the copy is deleted right away.
Yes. The alpha channel of the AVIF becomes PNG transparency, soft edges included. Pick Fill background if you want a solid colour instead.
AVIF uses very strong compression, PNG stores every pixel losslessly. A PNG several times the size is normal.
Try Smallest or 8-bit, or use AVIF to JPG for photos.
Yes. The frames appear under the preview - tick the ones you want and each becomes a PNG. For a moving picture use AVIF to GIF.
HDR files get an extra option: Keep brightness for bright, punchy highlights or Keep colour for true hues - or leave it as your browser shows it.
For Display P3 images pick Keep profile under Colour profile to save the wide colour in the PNG.
Up to 50 AVIF files per batch. Recent conversions stay in this browser, so you can download them again later.
