How do I convert PNG to GIF?

Upload your PNG file above. It is converted to GIF 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 PNG to GIF lose quality?

GIF is beperkt tot 256 kleuren per frame, dus foto's verliezen kleurdetail; graphics met weinig kleuren worden netjes geconverteerd.

Will the GIF keep the transparent background?

Partly. GIF keeps transparency as on or off per pixel, so soft edges and shadows become hard-edged.

PNG or GIF: which should I use?

Use PNG for screenshots, logos, text graphics and cut-outs. Use GIF for short animations, stickers and flat-color graphics. Keep in mind the main drawback of GIF: only 256 colors and on/off transparency.

Wat is een PNG-bestand?

PNG stores every pixel exactly and supports smooth transparency, which makes it the go-to format for screenshots, logos and graphics, at the cost of large files for photos.

Is the PNG to GIF converter free?

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