What does GIF to PNG Converter do?

Convert a GIF to PNG, producing a still image with full colour depth. GIF is limited to 256 colours, so the PNG will not add detail — but it removes the palette restriction for any further editing you do.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which frame of an animated GIF is converted?

The first frame, which is what the browser renders when the image is drawn to a canvas. Extracting every frame requires a dedicated GIF decoder and is outside what this tool does.

Will the PNG look better than the GIF?

No. GIF stores at most 256 colours, and that limitation is baked into the pixels. The PNG is a faithful lossless copy — it simply removes the palette limit for any editing you do next.

Is GIF transparency preserved?

Yes. GIF supports one fully transparent palette index, and that maps cleanly onto the PNG alpha channel. Note that GIF transparency has hard edges, which the conversion cannot smooth.

Should I use PNG or WebP instead of GIF?

For still images, PNG or WebP both beat GIF on quality and size. For short animations, animated WebP or a real video file is far smaller than a GIF at the same quality.
