Convert AVIF to PNG
Decode modern AVIF images and save them as widely-supported, lossless PNG files with transparency intact. All processing is local.
Privacy-first: every image is processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored or transmitted to any server.
A pixel-perfect copy of an AVIF
AVIF files saved from the web are compact but awkward to edit — many editors still can’t open them. Converting to PNG produces a lossless snapshot of the decoded image, transparency included, that every editor, viewer and upload form accepts. Nothing further is compressed away in the conversion.
Size and support expectations
Expect the PNG to be many times larger than the AVIF was — that’s lossless storage doing its job, not an error. Decoding uses your browser’s built-in AVIF support (universal in current browsers), so if a cutting-edge AVIF variant won’t open, a browser update is the cure. Conversion is local; files stay on your device.
Frequently asked questions
- Which formats are supported?
- You can convert to and from JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF and BMP, and convert from HEIC/HEIF (iPhone photos). Browsers cannot create HEIC files, so HEIC is input-only. Output formats your browser cannot encode are detected and disabled automatically.
- Can I convert HEIC to JPG?
- Yes. Drop in a HEIC photo from an iPhone and choose JPG (or PNG/WebP). The HEIC file is decoded locally in your browser with a bundled decoder — it is never uploaded anywhere.
- Is transparency preserved?
- Yes, when converting to a format that supports an alpha channel (PNG, WebP, AVIF). For formats without transparency (JPG, BMP), you can pick a background color for transparent areas.
- Is my image uploaded?
- No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser — your images never touch a server.
- What is AVIF and should I use it?
- AVIF produces the smallest high-quality files. Encoding support varies by browser, so PixelVault enables it only when your browser can create AVIF files.
- Can I convert many images at once?
- Yes. Batch-convert a whole folder of images and export them together as a ZIP.
