Turn a PNG graphic into a GIF image in seconds, right in your browser.
Only PNG images are accepted on this page.
Your image never leaves your browser. Conversion happens on your own device, and nothing is uploaded to a server. GIF holds at most 256 colours and only one level of transparency, so partly see through pixels become solid and smooth gradients may look banded.
GIF is the format for simple graphics, small icons, and images that must work everywhere, from old forums to messaging apps. The PNG to GIF Converter turns your PNG graphic into a GIF image in one click.
Everything runs in your browser, so your images are never uploaded to a server. Choose a PNG, convert it, and download the GIF straight to your device.
Keep the PNG for graphics that need full colour and smooth transparency, because GIF can hold only 256 colours and cannot show partly see through pixels. Use GIF when you need the widest compatibility or a simple graphic look, for example for an icon, a diagram, or a small image in a message. A PNG converted to GIF will not gain animation, since this tool converts a single still image.
Yes, it is completely free with no sign up and no limits. You can convert as many PNG images as you like, as often as you like.
Fully see through pixels stay see through in the GIF, but partly see through pixels become solid. GIF has only one level of transparency, so soft edges and shadows over a background will look harder in the GIF than in the PNG.
GIF can hold only 256 colours, while a PNG can hold millions. Smooth gradients can look banded after conversion, because similar shades are merged into the nearest of the 256 colours.
No. This tool converts one still image, so the GIF is a single still frame. It cannot create animation from a PNG graphic.
No. The conversion happens in your browser on your own device, so your images never leave your computer.
The tool shows a clear message and does not convert anything. Choose a PNG image and try again.
