Why convert AVIF to PNG?

When Photoshop, an older viewer or a picky upload form refuses an AVIF, PNG is the escape hatch: every editor, office suite and print pipeline accepts it, and the alpha channel survives intact. Expect the file to grow several times over — AVIF stored a lossily compressed approximation and PNG records every decoded pixel, so this is a compatibility move, not a quality one; detail the AVIF encoder discarded cannot come back. Decoding tries the browser's native AVIF support first and falls back to a bundled WASM AV1 decoder, so the conversion works even in browsers that cannot display an AVIF at all.

Conversion happens entirely in your browser — no upload, no queue, no watermark. Drop in as many files as you like and download them individually or as a zip.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the PNG so much bigger than the AVIF?

Because AVIF keeps a heavily compressed approximation of the image while PNG stores every pixel losslessly — often several times more bytes for the same picture. That growth buys you universal compatibility and a file that loses nothing further no matter how many times it is re-saved; it does not restore any detail the AVIF compression already threw away.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Conversion happens inside your browser using the canvas API and a Web Worker — files never leave your device. There is no upload step, no queue and no file size limit beyond your machine's memory.

Is EXIF metadata kept in the converted image?

No — and that's a feature. Re-encoding through the canvas strips all metadata: GPS location, camera model, timestamps and color profiles. The output contains pixels only, which is usually what you want before sharing an image publicly.

Can I convert many images at once?

Yes. Drop or paste any number of files; each is converted in the background with its own progress and download button, and you can grab everything at once as a .zip archive.

Why did my image get re-compressed even converting PNG to PNG?

The converter always decodes to raw pixels and re-encodes, which is also how metadata gets stripped. For lossless targets (PNG, and GIF within its 256-color limit) the pixels stay identical; for JPEG and WebP the quality slider controls the trade-off.
