How to use it
- Drop your GIF files here.
- Click Convert.
- Download the PNG, or a ZIP for several files.
What you get
PNG is a still-image format, so the converter saves the first frame of each GIF. That is ideal when you need a thumbnail or preview of an animation, want to edit a static GIF in software that prefers PNG, or need a format upload forms accept.
PNG is lossless and supports full color, so the frame looks exactly like it did in the GIF, and transparent pixels stay transparent. A GIF is limited to 256 colors, and converting cannot add colors that are not there, but the PNG is a clean starting point for editing.
To make an animation smaller instead, use Compress GIF. To build a new animated GIF from images, use the GIF maker. Conversion runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
GIF and PNG compared
| GIF | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Colors | Up to 256 per frame | Millions |
| Animation | Yes | No |
| Transparency | On or off per pixel | Smooth (alpha channel) |
| Compression | Lossless within its palette | Lossless |
PNG is the better format for still graphics, screenshots and logos. Keep GIF only when you need the animation.
