About GIF to PNG Converter
Convert GIF to PNG to get lossless output with full colour support and preserved transparency. PNG supports millions of colours compared to GIF's 256-colour limit, so converting to PNG ensures your image is rendered at the highest possible quality without the colour banding that GIF compression can introduce. Transparent areas in your GIF are preserved since PNG supports an alpha channel. PNG files are compatible with all modern image editors, browsers, and applications and are widely accepted by design tools for further editing. All processing runs in your browser — no upload, no waiting, complete privacy. For animated GIFs, only the first frame is extracted and saved as a static PNG. Batch convert up to 20 files and download the PNG outputs as a ZIP archive. PNG's lossless compression preserves sharp edges and text better than GIF, making it the superior choice for saving graphics that require exact pixel accuracy or that you plan to edit further.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is transparency preserved?
- Yes. Both GIF and PNG support transparency. Transparent pixels in the GIF are preserved as transparent PNG pixels.
- What about animated GIFs?
- Only the first frame is converted to a static PNG image.
- Why is the PNG larger than the GIF?
- GIF uses aggressive lossless compression tuned for its 256-colour palette. PNG uses different compression and supports full colour, so file sizes vary.
