Pipeline ready: PNG → QOI (any input still accepted)

Free PNG to QOI converter in your browser

Asset Melt Studio is a PNG to QOI converter that runs entirely on your device. Simple lossless QOI from PNG sources — a sibling container for tools that prefer QOI’s decode story over PNG.

Drop one PNG or a whole folder — the pipeline is already set to QOI using QOI for fast lossless tooling. That is the PNG to QOI workflow people search for: convert PNG to QOI without an upload, then resize, crop, or hit a size budget (when the codec allows) before you download.

Input is not locked to PNG: you can still open JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, GIF, and more in the same session. The PNG to QOI URL simply pre-selects QOI so png to qoi jobs start in one click.

How to use this converter

  1. Step 1

    Open this PNG to QOI page

    You are already on the PNG to QOI converter. Output is pre-selected as QOI. You can still drop mixed formats — the PNG to QOI URL is a starting point, not a file-type lock.

  2. Step 2

    Drop PNG files (or a folder)

    Drag PNG images onto the studio, click to choose, or paste. Folder drops queue nested images. Then process — PNG to QOI encoding runs in Web Workers on this device.

  3. Step 3

    Preview, tweak, download

    Use the before/after scrubber until the PNG to QOI result looks right. Adjust quality, crop, or resize, then download one QOI or a ZIP of the batch.

Why convert PNG to QOI

PNG to QOI is a lossless-from-pixels container swap. Sizes are often similar; sometimes QOI wins, sometimes Oxipng wins.

Use PNG to QOI when the next program in the chain wants QOI. Do not use it as a TinyPNG replacement.

Size budget skips QOI. Reduce palette is PNG-output only — it does not apply to QOI.

How PNG to QOI works in Asset Melt

Drop PNG. QOI encode. Alpha is supported by QOI.

Preview should match the PNG pixels.

ZIP for a texture pack if your engine wants QOI.

When to use PNG to QOI (and when not to)

Game/tool pipelines with QOI loaders.

Comparing decode speed in your own software.

Skip PNG to QOI for public websites.

PNG to QOI quality and settings

Pixel-identical intent from the decoded PNG. If they differ, that is a bug — report it. There is no quality slider.

Resize if the engine wants a max texture size.

Keep PNG for humans.

Do not enable PNG palette controls expecting QOI-8 — not a thing here.

Privacy while you convert PNG to QOI

Image processing is 100% client-side in your browser with WebAssembly. Your photos are not uploaded, I cannot see or recover them, and sampled session replay is UI-only and does not include image pixels (media is blocked). The site still sends usage analytics and crash reports — details are on the privacy page. That includes every PNG to QOI job — the converter never needs your files on a server.

Upload compressors send your bitmap to someone else’s API. Asset Melt keeps png to qoi on this device. Session replay, if sampled, is UI-only and does not include image pixels.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. This PNG to QOI converter runs entirely in your browser. Image processing is 100% client-side in your browser with WebAssembly. Your photos are not uploaded, I cannot see or recover them, and sampled session replay is UI-only and does not include image pixels (media is blocked). The site still sends usage analytics and crash reports — details are on the privacy page.

No. The Studio still opens JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, GIF, TIFF, BMP, SVG, JPEG XL, and QOI. The PNG to QOI URL pre-selects QOI output for the common PNG workflow, but mixed batches are fine — only the output codec is locked to QOI until you change Format settings.

Yes. Queue many PNG files (or a folder), keep QOI as the output, and the Studio encodes in parallel on a worker pool sized to your CPU (up to 4) with live per-file progress, Pause, and Cancel. Pause lets in-flight files finish so you can download what is ready. Optional “ZIP every 25 files” packs numbered ZIPs during encode. There is no 20-image cap; very large PNG to QOI batches depend on device RAM.

PNG to QOI output uses QOI for fast lossless tooling via the same Squoosh-grade @jsquash WebAssembly stack, running locally in a Web Worker. You can still crop, resize, filter, and (for lossy QOI) set a size budget before download.

Yes. PNG to QOI conversion is free: no account, no watermark, and no file-count limit. Download one file or a ZIP of the whole queue.

Sometimes slightly, sometimes not. It is not the goal. PNG to QOI is for QOI-aware tools.

Yes. QOI supports alpha, so a transparent PNG to QOI texture keeps the cutout for engines that load QOI.

Reduce palette applies to PNG output, not QOI. Encode PNG with palette first if you need that look, or stay on PNG.
