How to Convert AVIF to PNG in Bulk on Windows 11?

Anyone knows about AVIF image format? I recently received several AVIF images from a colleague, and when I tried to open them using the default Photos app, it didn't work. I even tried a few third-party image viewers, but none of them seemed to support AVIF.

 

I guess I need to convert Avif to PNG in bulk so that I can view and edit them without any issues. I’ve heard that some online tools and software can handle AVIF to PNG conversion, but I'm concerned about the potential loss of quality and the security risks associated with uploading files to random websites. Additionally, I’d prefer a solution that allows me to bulk convert multiple files at once, as I have quite a few images to process. 

  • I ran into the same issue with AVIF files—couldn’t open them in the Photos app, and most third-party viewers didn’t support AVIF either. For converting to PNG, especially in bulk, Any2Pic worked out great for me. It’s offline, so no need to upload files, and it handles multiple images at once without losing quality.

    If you’ve got a bunch of AVIFs to convert, it’s definitely worth checking out.

    Another good AVIF to PNG Converter is Paint.NET, a free and user-friendly image editing software that supports a wide range of plugins, including those for AVIF file support. This allows users to easily open AVIF files and convert them to PNG without needing to navigate complex software.

    Furthermore, Paint.NET offers a variety of image editing features that can be utilized during the conversion process. Users can take advantage of its powerful editing tools to enhance their images before converting them to PNG, such as adjusting brightness and contrast, applying filters, and performing touch-ups.

    In command-line tools to convert avif to png bulk, even a small typo can throw everything off. I can't tell you how many times I've had to redo a command just because I accidentally left out a space or mistyped a parameter. It can be a real drag to keep correcting little mistakes, especially when you're trying to run batch processes.
