Why use PixelTools to convert AVIF
Native browser AVIF decoding
Uses your browser's built-in AV1 image decoder — the same one Chrome and Firefox use to display AVIF on the web.
Convert to any format
Choose JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, or ICO. One drop zone, whichever format your next step needs.
Batch conversion
Convert a whole folder of AVIF files at once. Download individually or together as a ZIP.
Browser-based and private
No upload, no server, no account. Everything happens locally on your device.
Three steps to convert AVIF
- 1
Drop your AVIF files
Drag one or more .avif files onto the drop zone. Your browser's built-in AV1 image decoder reads the file locally — the same decoder Chrome and Firefox use to display AVIF images on the web, no upload involved.
- 2
Pick your output format
Choose JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, or ICO. The decoded pixel data is drawn onto an HTML canvas and re-encoded using the browser's native encoder for your chosen format.
- 3
Download your converted files
Each output file opens in any editor or upload form that couldn't read the original AVIF. Download files individually or as a ZIP.
Who converts AVIF files, and to what?
AVIF is spreading fast as CDNs and Google Images serve it by default, but the software people actually edit and upload with still frequently can't open it.
Frontend developer pulling assets from an AVIF-serving CDN
Cloudflare Images and Imgix serve AVIF automatically to modern browsers, but when a developer downloads an asset to use in Figma or Sketch, both apps fail to open the .avif file. Converting to PNG or JPG makes the asset usable immediately.
WordPress editor whose media library rejects AVIF
WordPress didn't register AVIF as an accepted upload type until version 6.5 (April 2024). Sites still on older versions throw an upload error — converting to JPG sidesteps the version dependency entirely.
Email marketer fixing broken image previews
Outlook and Apple Mail don't render AVIF inline — recipients see a broken image icon instead of the campaign banner. Converting to JPG or PNG before embedding fixes previews across every major email client.
Photographer submitting to stock or print platforms
AI upscalers like Topaz Photo AI can output AVIF to save space, but stock platforms like Shutterstock and most print labs require JPG or TIFF submissions. Converting to JPG is the last step before submitting.
Shopify merchant re-using product photos on other marketplaces
Shopify's CDN transcodes product images to AVIF for storefront speed, but Amazon Seller Central and eBay listing tools expect JPG. Converting the downloaded AVIF to JPG avoids re-uploading the original source file.
Frequently asked questions
What is AVIF?
+
AVIF is an image format based on the AV1 video codec. It's the successor to WebP, typically producing 20-30% smaller files at the same visual quality, and is used by Google Images and CDNs like Cloudflare Images.
Why do I need to convert an AVIF file?
+
AVIF decoding isn't universal yet. Photoshop only added AVIF support in version 25.0 (late 2023), older browsers can't display it, and many upload forms and email clients don't recognize it at all.
Which format should I convert AVIF to?
+
Pick JPG for the broadest compatibility with editors and platforms. Pick PNG if you need lossless quality or transparency. Pick WebP if you need a smaller web-friendly file with wider support than AVIF.
Does my browser support AVIF natively?
+
Chrome, Firefox, and Safari 16+ can all decode AVIF. That same built-in decoder is what this converter uses to read your file — no plugin required.
Can I batch convert AVIF files?
+
Yes. Drop multiple AVIF files, choose one output format, and convert them all in a single batch. Download individually or as a ZIP.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
+
No. AVIF files are decoded and re-encoded entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Nothing is sent to a server.
