Why Choose Our Converter?
Fast, dependable AVIF to PGX conversion tailored for archival fidelity and broader editor compatibility.
Fast / Deterministic Output
Convert AVIF images to PGX quickly with predictable raster outputs suitable for scripted archival workflows.
High-Fidelity Rasterization
Preserves decoded pixel values from AV1 intra-frame content when rendering to PGX's lossless-like raw format.
Editor and Archive Friendly
PGX outputs are readable by legacy imaging tools and high-end raster processors used in print and long-term storage.
Client-Side Processing
Files are processed in-memory in the browser to reduce exposure; no remote uploads by default.
Preserve Visual Data
Converts AVIF color channels into PGX sample planes, retaining decoded luminance and chroma information.
Configurable Output
Choose bit-depth target options and whether to export single-plane or multi-plane PGX depending on downstream needs.

How to Convert Files
Follow these simple steps to convert your files
Upload Source File
Select or drag and drop your AVIF files; include sample animated AVIF if you need individual frame extraction.
Adjust Settings
Choose target PGX bit depth and whether to export alpha as separate plane or composite against a background.
Convert
Click convert to decode AVIF frames in-browser and write PGX sample planes using chosen bit-depth and plane options.
Download Result
Save the PGX files and optional metadata sidecars or ZIP archive for archival ingestion.

Start Converting NowTips and Best Practices
Optimize your conversion workflow with technical recommendations.
Prepare AVIF Source
- Confirm AVIF contains expected color primaries before conversion to avoid color shifts in PGX
- Export animation frames from AVIF separately if timecodes or sequences are needed for archiving
- Check AVIF alpha presence; mark files requiring alpha-plane export to prevent accidental flattening
- Validate AVIF bit depth (8/10/12/16) so you can select matching PGX sample precision
- Run checksum on AVIF originals to compare against decoded pixel hashes post-conversion
Configure PGX Targets
- Choose higher PGX bit depth when preserving subtle gradients decoded from high-bit AVIF sources
- Export alpha as distinct PGX plane if downstream workflows require explicit transparency channels
- Avoid lossy downcast to 8-bit when planning re-encoding back to AVIF for future web delivery
- Use sidecar files for ICC and EXIF to maintain metadata associations since PGX lacks standardized containers
- Select single-plane versus multi-plane PGX to match ingest requirements of your imaging pipeline
Verify Converted Output
- Open PGX in a trusted raster tool to inspect sample histograms and detect clipping from bit-depth conversion
- Compare pixel statistics between AVIF decode and PGX sample planes to detect rounding or color shifts
- Ensure alpha plane alignment by compositing PGX alpha over a neutral background to check edges
- Spot-check multiple images across the archive rather than assuming uniform encoder behavior in AVIF sources
- Confirm sidecar metadata entries match original EXIF fields such as camera model and capture time
Archive and Workflow Safety
- Store PGX outputs alongside AVIF originals until verification and checksum reconciliation complete
- Batch convert in groups of 20-50 AVIFs to balance memory use and speed without risking browser swaps
- Document conversion parameters (bit depth, alpha handling) in a manifest for reproducible restoration
- Keep originals immutable; use copies for conversion to maintain a pristine source archive
- Use secure local storage or network shares with integrity checks when moving PGX files to long-term storage
