Why convert GIF to PNG?
- PNG is lossless, so the converted image loses no further detail when you edit and save it again.
- PNG is made for screenshots, logos, text graphics and cut-outs.
What to expect when converting GIF to PNG
- PNG can’t hold this animation, so an animated GIF is saved as its first frame.
- Converting can’t bring back detail that GIF compression already removed: the PNG is an exact copy of the image as it is, usually in a bigger file.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I convert GIF to PNG?
- Upload your GIF file above. It is converted to PNG automatically (change the output format or quality in the Settings tab if you need to), then click Download. There is nothing to install.
- Does converting GIF to PNG lose quality?
- No new loss is added: PNG stores the picture exactly as it is. Detail that GIF compression removed earlier can’t be restored.
- Will the PNG keep the transparent background?
- Yes. PNG supports smooth, partial transparency, so transparent areas stay transparent.
- Will the animation be kept?
- No. PNG can’t hold animation, so an animated GIF is saved as its first frame.
- GIF or PNG: which should I use?
- Use GIF for short animations, stickers and flat-colour graphics. Use PNG for screenshots, logos, text graphics and cut-outs. Keep in mind the main drawback of PNG: large files for photographs.
- What is a GIF file?
- GIF is the original web animation format. Each frame can use only 256 colours, so it suits simple graphics and short loops rather than photos.

- Yes. Convert, preview and download a single result without creating an account. Premium adds batch conversion (many files into one ZIP) and larger uploads.
