GIF to PNG Converter

Convert GIF to PNG losslessly. First frame of animated GIFs is exported.

Why convert GIF to PNG?

GIF is limited to 256 colors and was designed in 1987 — PNG (designed as its replacement in 1996) supports millions of colors, better compression for most images, and full alpha transparency. Converting GIF to PNG gives you a higher-quality file that's typically smaller for non-photo content. For animated GIFs, this converter exports the first frame only — for animated output, use a GIF-to-WebP or GIF-to-MP4 converter instead. The conversion is computed locally on your device.

About GIF

GIF is a 1987 format limited to 256 colors and 1-bit transparency.
  • Designed for slow modems and 8-bit displays
  • Animated GIFs are the main remaining use case
  • PNG is a strict superset for static images: more colors, better compression, full alpha

Frequently asked questions

Will the GIF animation be preserved?
No — PNG doesn't support animation. This converter exports the first frame as a static PNG. To preserve animation, convert to animated WebP instead.
