How to convert GIF to PNG
- Drop your GIF files in the box above. You can also click the box to pick files, or paste them.
- Each file is converted to PNG on your own device. It usually takes a second or two.
- Download each file, or get them all in one zip. Every file keeps its name.
Why convert GIF to PNG?
Takes a single still out of a GIF at full quality.
File sizes stay roughly similar, so this is about what can open the file rather than about space.
About the two formats
GIF: Very old but still everywhere. It can only use 256 colours, so photos look rough, but every app can open it.
PNG: Keeps every detail sharp and supports transparent backgrounds. Works everywhere. The safe pick for logos, graphics and screenshots.
The whole conversion happens in your browser. Your file is unpacked into raw pixels and saved again as PNG. Nothing is sent to any server.
Common questions
Is the GIF to PNG converter free?
Yes, properly free. No paid tier, no trial, no watermark on the result and nothing to sign up for. Put as many files through it as you like, as often as you like.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The GIF to PNG converter runs inside your browser, on your own machine, so your files never go anywhere. Big ones are fine too, up to whatever your browser can hold.
Which frame of the GIF do I get?
The first one. A GIF holds a whole animation and a PNG holds a single still, so the opening frame is taken and the rest are dropped. If you want a different moment, that frame has to be the first one in the file before you convert.
Does converting GIF to PNG lose quality?
No. Both GIF and PNG store every pixel exactly as it was, so the picture that comes out is identical to the one that went in. Only the file size and what can open the file change.
Will the PNG file be smaller than the GIF?
Not really. The two formats compress about as hard as each other, so expect a file of roughly the same size. This conversion is about what can open the file, not about saving space.
