Convert QOI to AVIF
AVIF is the smallest option available right now, though encoding is slower. Everything happens locally: QOI files are decoded by your browser and written back out as AVIF without ever touching a server.

What is QOI?
A modern lossless image format published in 2021. It compresses far faster than PNG while producing files of comparable size.
Why convert QOI to AVIF?
AVIF is the smallest option available right now, though encoding is slower.
Almost nothing opens a .qoi file — not browsers, not Photoshop, not your phone. Converting to PNG makes it usable while staying perfectly lossless.
How this converter handles QOI
Full decoder for the QOI spec: RGB, RGBA, index, diff, luma and run chunks. We can also output QOI, which very few web tools offer.
Why the conversion happens on your device
This page is a static file. There is no upload endpoint, no queue and no server-side conversion step — the work is done by JavaScript running in your own browser. That has three practical consequences:
- Nothing is transmitted. Open your browser's network panel and confirm it yourself.
- No file size limit. Server-based converters cap uploads and throttle repeat use. Your machine has no such quota.
- No queue. Conversion starts immediately and runs at local speed.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this really free?
- Yes, with no account, no watermark and no per-file limit. There is no server cost to recover because no server is involved.
- Are my files uploaded?
- No. The page has no backend to upload to. You can verify this in your browser's developer tools, or by loading the page and disconnecting from the internet before converting.
- Does converting QOI to AVIF lose quality?
- AVIF is a lossy format, so there is some loss — it is a trade-off you make deliberately in exchange for a much smaller file. Use the quality slider to control it; 90% and above is usually indistinguishable for photographic content.
- Can I convert many files at once?
- Yes — drop a batch and they are processed one after another.
- What if my browser cannot decode QOI?
- For formats browsers do not support natively (TGA, QOI, PPM/PGM/PBM, farbfeld, BMP, ICO) FormatAtlas ships its own decoder, so support does not depend on your browser version.
