About the GIF to PNG Converter
The GIF to PNG Converter turns Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) images into Portable Network Graphics (PNG) files right inside your web browser. Extract the first frame of a GIF as a clean, lossless PNG image with transparency.
GIF is an old format best known for short animations. It is limited to 256 colors per frame, which makes photos look grainy, and its files are often large compared with modern formats.
PNG is a lossless format that preserves every pixel exactly and supports full transparency. It is ideal for logos, icons, screenshots, illustrations and images with text, although photos saved as PNG are usually much larger than JPG.
PNG is lossless, so the converted file keeps every pixel of the decoded GIF image without adding any new compression artifacts. Transparency is preserved, because both GIF and PNG support transparent backgrounds. You can convert dozens of images at once, optionally limit the maximum width to shrink large photos, and download everything as a single ZIP file. Because the conversion runs locally on your device, your pictures are never uploaded to a server.
How to use the GIF to PNG Converter
- Drop your GIF files into the upload area, click to browse, or paste an image.
- Adjust the quality or maximum width if needed.
- Wait a moment while each image is converted to PNG on your device.
- Download files individually or click Download all (ZIP).
