GIF to PNG Converter

GIF graphics are common on the web, but the format limits you to 256 colours and a single bit of transparency. The GIF to PNG Converter turns your GIF into a PNG that keeps the image exactly and opens the door to proper editing.

Everything runs in your browser, so your images are never uploaded to a server. Choose a GIF file, convert it, and download the PNG straight to your device.

How to Use This Tool

1. Choose a GIF image: drop it on the upload area or pick it with the file button.
2. Click Convert to PNG: your PNG appears instantly next to the original.
3. Check the sizes: compare the original and converted sizes before you download.
4. Download the PNG: save it and use it wherever a PNG image is needed.

Why Convert GIF to PNG

• Lossless from here on: PNG keeps every pixel of the GIF, so editing and saving again never degrades it further.
• Better editing base: most editors work more happily with PNG than with the limited GIF palette.
• Full transparency range: the PNG format can hold the smooth transparency that GIF cannot, for any edits you make next.
• Private by design: your images never leave your device.

GIF or PNG: Which Format Should You Use

Use PNG when you want to keep or edit a GIF graphic without further loss. Keep the GIF when the image must stay tiny and simple, or when it is used in a place that only accepts GIF. Converting GIF to PNG cannot add colours that the GIF never had, so a GIF with banded gradients will still show those bands in the PNG. An animated GIF also becomes a still image here, because only the first frame is converted.
