How to convert GIF to PNG

To convert GIF to PNG, drop your GIF files on the box above, choose the output quality and download the result. The conversion happens inside your browser, so the files never leave your device, and it is free with no sign-up.

What GIF and PNG are

GIF stores at most 256 colors per frame and supports simple animation and one-bit transparency. It suits tiny icons and short loops, but it handles photos badly.

PNG is a lossless format: every pixel is stored exactly, so text, logos and screenshots stay razor sharp, and it supports full transparency. The price is size, since a photo saved as PNG is often three to ten times bigger than the same photo as JPG.

Why convert GIF to PNG

GIF to PNG is the conversion for pictures that should stay crisp and keep their see-through background: icons, logos, pixel art and simple graphics. PNG offers millions of colors and smooth partial transparency, where GIF is limited to 256 colors and on-or-off transparency.

What changes when you convert GIF to PNG

  • Transparency is preserved. Transparent pixels in the GIF stay transparent in the PNG.
  • Animation is not kept. An animated GIF produces one still PNG from its first frame.
  • Colors are unchanged, not improved. The PNG holds exactly the 256 colors the GIF had; it simply stores them without further loss.

Tips for the best result

  • Use PNG for graphics, icons and pixel art; use JPG for photographic GIFs where a smaller size matters.
  • To extract frames from an animated GIF, use a dedicated frame splitter; this converter keeps only the first frame.
  • A GIF with a transparent background gives you the cleanest result as PNG.

Private by design

The conversion runs entirely in your browser using your device's own image engine. Your GIF files are never uploaded to a server, so personal photos, documents and unpublished designs stay with you, and there is no queue and no size limit imposed by an upload.

Frequently asked questions

Is PNG better than GIF?
For still images, yes: PNG supports millions of colors, smooth transparency and is usually equal or smaller for graphics. GIF is only worth keeping when you need animation.
Can I get all the frames of my animated GIF as PNG files?
This converter saves a single image, the first frame. To get every frame, use a tool designed to split animations into frames.
Is this GIF to PNG converter free?
Yes, completely. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on the number of files. The tool runs in your browser, so it costs us nothing to let you use it as much as you like.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion is done on your own device with your browser's image engine. Nothing is sent to a server, which also makes it fast and safe for private pictures.
Can I convert several GIF files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like; each one is converted separately and you can download them individually or all together in a ZIP file.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It runs in any modern mobile browser on iPhone and Android. Very large images can be slow on older phones because your device does the work.
