Browsers love AVIF; your photo editor, Office and half the upload forms out there don't. Drop the .avif here and save a lossless, universally compatible PNG — without the image ever leaving your device.
Add one or many — PNG, JPG & WebP. Or paste with ⌘/Ctrl + V
Drop the .avif file into PixKit — your browser decodes it natively, and this page pre-selects PNG for export, confirmed by a toast. Click Export and a lossless PNG downloads immediately, transparency intact. It all runs locally in the tab, so the file is never uploaded to any server.
Clean the Gemini sparkle, then finish the job — crop, resize, convert and adjust without uploading a single pixel.
Reverse-alpha math restores the true pixels under the Gemini logo — no blur, no AI guesswork.
Crop to any aspect ratio with draggable handles, then resize to exact pixels or quick scales.
Export to PNG, JPG or WebP with a quality slider and a live file-size estimate.
Every tool runs locally with undo/redo. Nothing is uploaded — it even works offline.
Your browser can already read AVIF — this page saves it back out as a PNG anything can open.
Drag it in, paste, or browse — modern browsers decode AVIF natively, so it opens instantly with no codec download needed for this direction.
The toast says "Ready — click Export to download as PNG." Nothing to configure: PNG is lossless, so the export is a pixel-exact copy of the decoded AVIF, and any alpha transparency comes along automatically.
The PNG works in every editor, office suite and upload form ever made. Dropped a batch of AVIFs? Export them all as one ZIP — expect larger files, since PNG trades compression for universality.
Many desktop editors — including older Photoshop releases and most lightweight tools — still can't open .avif. A PNG copy restores your whole toolchain.
Plenty of CMSes, marketplaces, print services and forms whitelist PNG/JPG only. Convert the AVIF you saved from the web and the upload goes through.
Word, PowerPoint and many layout apps look blankly at .avif. PNG drops straight into any of them.
Right-click-save on a modern site increasingly yields .avif files. Batch-convert them to PNG so your local image library stays usable everywhere.
You can't control what your recipient has installed — PNG is the one still-image format you never have to explain.
For everyone staring at an .avif their software won't open.
AVIF adoption is lopsided. On the web it has already won — every modern browser decodes it, and performance-minded sites serve it by default, which is why files you save increasingly end in .avif. Off the web, support lags years behind: a long tail of photo editors, office suites, upload validators, DAM systems and printers' preflight tools simply don't recognize the format. AVIF-to-PNG conversion is the escape hatch — you keep the image, and every program made in the last twenty-five years can open it.
This direction of travel costs you nothing visually. PixKit takes the pixels your browser decodes from the AVIF and writes them into a PNG verbatim — no re-compression, no quality slider, no generational loss. If the AVIF carries an alpha channel (cut-outs and UI art often do), the PNG keeps it, because PNG's transparency support is just as complete. The only change you'll notice is size: PNG is far less compressed than AVIF, so the file grows — often several-fold. That's the compatibility tax, and it's the whole reason the conversion exists.
Here's the pleasant asymmetry: while encoding AVIF requires PixKit to load a WASM codec, decoding it is built into every modern browser — so this page needs no downloads at all and even works offline once loaded. The AVIF opens in the tab, the PNG is encoded by the browser's native engine, and the download comes straight off your own machine. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is queued, nothing is retained — a real consideration when the images are client work, medical records or personal photos that have no business passing through a converter site's storage bucket.
Saved a dozen AVIFs while researching? Drop them together — the filmstrip queues them and a single Export delivers a ZIP of PNGs. And since the converter is PixKit's full editor, you can crop, resize, annotate or redact any image before it's exported: convert the file and prep it for its destination in one pass. If you ever need to go the other way — squeezing PNGs down for the web — the mirror tool encodes AVIF locally too. Between the two pages you can round-trip freely: AVIF for shipping bytes to browsers, PNG whenever a human, an app or a form needs the file to just open.
