Why convert GIF to PNG?
GIF is simple graphics and animations. PNG is lossless quality with transparency. Converting from GIF to PNG is handy when you need PNG's smaller size or wider support — for marketplaces, websites, email, or social media.
About GIF
GIF is one of the oldest image formats still in use. It supports animation and simple one-bit transparency, but is limited to a 256-color palette, which makes photos look grainy. For static images, PNG offers better quality and full transparency at a similar or smaller size.
About PNG
PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless format: every pixel is preserved exactly, and it supports full transparency. That makes it the standard choice for logos, screenshots, UI graphics and any image that needs a transparent background. The trade-off is file size — PNGs are larger than JPG, WebP or AVIF for photographic content.

- How do I convert GIF to PNG?
- Upload or drag your GIF file into the box (up to 25 MB), press Convert to PNG, and the PNG file downloads automatically. No email address or account is needed.

- Yes — select up to 20 GIF files in one go and you'll get a ZIP archive with every image converted to PNG. Batch conversion is just as free.
- Will converting GIF to PNG lose quality?
- No. PNG is a lossless format, so the converted image keeps every pixel of the original — nothing is compressed away.
- Are my files stored anywhere?
- No. Your image is converted entirely in memory and never written to disk, stored or shared. Once the download finishes, the file is gone from our servers.
- Is transparency preserved?
- Yes. PNG supports transparency, so transparent areas in your GIF stay transparent after conversion.
- What happens to animated GIFs?
- The first frame of the animation is converted into a static PNG. If you need a different frame, export it from your GIF editor first and convert that image.
- Do I need to install any software?
- No. The converter runs in your web browser on any device — Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone or Android — with nothing to download or install.
