  • No upload The conversion runs in this tab. Your file never travels — not to us, and not to the advertising.
  • No sign-up, no email, no daily cap There is no account system to sign up to.
  • No size limit we invented Only your device's memory — about ~2 GB on a desktop browser, ~400 MB on a phone.
  • Turn your Wi-Fi off and convert anyway The conversion needs nothing but this page. Ads will not load without a connection; your file will still convert. That is the whole claim, and it takes five seconds to check.

Converts AVIF to PNG. Choose this over JPG when the image has transparency, or when you want a lossless copy to work from.

Transparency comes across

AVIF and PNG both carry a full alpha channel, so transparent and semi-transparent pixels transfer exactly. No background colour is needed and nothing is flattened.

Expect a much larger file

This is the widest size gap of any conversion here. AVIF is among the most efficient image codecs ever deployed; PNG is lossless. A 200 KB AVIF photograph routinely becomes a 4 MB PNG.

That is not a fault in the conversion — it is the difference between "as small as possible while looking right" and "every pixel exactly". If size matters and the image has no transparency, JPG is the better target.

Metadata is removed, which is usually the point

Re-encoding through a canvas keeps the pixels and discards everything else: EXIF, GPS coordinates, camera make and model, lens, shutter speed, the timestamp, any embedded thumbnail, and the colour profile.

For a photo you are about to publish this is a feature. A JPEG straight off a phone can carry the exact coordinates of where it was taken, and stripping that before it goes anywhere public is good practice — the conversion does it as a side effect.

The one piece of metadata that is honoured before being dropped is the orientation flag. Phones store photos in the sensor's native orientation with a tag saying which way is up; ignoring it produces sideways pictures. It is applied to the pixels, so the result is upright without needing the tag.

If you need the EXIF preserved, this is the wrong tool — a converter that re-encodes cannot keep it.

Questions

Why is the PNG twenty times bigger?
AVIF is an extremely efficient lossy codec and PNG is lossless. That ratio is normal for a photograph.
Is transparency preserved?
Yes, exactly. Both formats have a full 8-bit alpha channel.
Does HDR survive?
No. PNG here is 8 bits per channel in sRGB, so an HDR source is tone-mapped down.
Can I convert a whole folder of images?
Yes. Drop as many files as you like, or a whole folder. Each keeps its original name with the new extension — IMG_4032.heic becomes IMG_4032.jpg, never converted_1.jpg — and you can download them individually or as a ZIP.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The decoding and re-encoding happen in this tab using the browser’s own image support. Photos are personal in a way most files are not, and none of them is transmitted. Turn your Wi-Fi off and the converter keeps working.
How large an image can I convert?
The practical ceiling is the browser’s canvas limit, about 268 million pixels in total area — roughly 16,000 × 16,000. Above that you get a clear error rather than a silent failure, and resizing first is the fix. File size itself is limited only by your device’s memory.
