Convert AVIF to PNG in your browser when you need to keep transparency or want a lossless copy to edit. AVIF can store an alpha channel and PNG keeps it, so logos, stickers and cut-out product shots saved from the web keep their see-through backgrounds instead of gaining a white one. PNG also opens in practically every app, from image editors to slide decks, which AVIF still does not. Decoding uses your browser’s own AVIF support, nothing is uploaded, and the PNG will be larger than the AVIF it came from.
How it works
- Drop the .avif images. Current Chrome and Edge decode AVIF natively, which is what this conversion relies on.
- PNG is already selected, with no quality to set: transparency and every decoded pixel are kept as they are.
- Press Convert & download: one image saves as a PNG, several arrive as one ZIP with a report of what converted.
Questions
- Does AVIF to PNG keep transparency?
- Yes. Transparent and semi-transparent pixels are carried into the PNG’s alpha channel unchanged. Converting to JPG is what loses them, because JPG has no transparency and those areas are filled with white; keeping them is the main reason to pick PNG here.
- Is converting AVIF to PNG lossless?
- The conversion step is: PNG stores the pixels exactly as the browser decoded them. The AVIF itself was most likely compressed lossily when it was made, and PNG cannot restore that detail, so the PNG holds the same picture, not a sharper one, in a bigger and more widely supported file.
- Does my file get uploaded?
- No. The models and all processing run inside your browser on your own device. You can verify this yourself: open your browser’s DevTools, watch the Network tab, and process a file: there are no uploads. After the first visit most tools also work fully offline.
- How are RAW files converted?
- Honestly: RAW files carry a full-size JPEG preview rendered by the camera, and that is what this tool extracts, instantly and losslessly. It does not demosaic the sensor data; a RAW developer with your own processing choices is the right tool for that.
- Why does HEIC need a special decoder?
- Browsers do not decode HEIC, so this page ships an open-source decoder (libheif, compiled to WebAssembly) that runs on your device. The photo itself still never leaves your machine.
