Why convert GIF to PNG?
The right choice when the GIF has transparency you need to keep, or when the image is going into an editor. PNG holds every one of those 256 colours losslessly and gives you soft-edged alpha to work with instead of GIF’s hard on-or-off cutout. Animated GIFs keep only the first frame.
Choose PNG when transparency has to survive, or when the image will be edited again. Text, logos, screenshots and line art all come through a PNG round-trip completely untouched.
How to convert GIF to PNG
Drop your GIF files into the box above, or click to pick them from your device.
Hit convert. The work happens inside your browser, so it takes a second or two per image.
Download each PNG file, or grab them all in one ZIP.
About the formats
GIF — Graphics Interchange Format
GIF is older than the web itself and survives on two things: animation and support that is genuinely universal. Its fatal limitation is colour — a maximum of 256 shades per frame, which turns photographs into a dithered, banded mess. For animation it has been comprehensively beaten by video and by animated WebP, but nothing else drops into a chat window quite so reliably.
Strengths
Animation that plays anywhere, with no video player involved
Supported by every browser and chat app in existence
Simple on-or-off transparency
Limitations
Only 256 colours per frame, so photographs come out posterised
Enormous files compared with video of the same animation
Transparency has hard, jagged edges with no soft blending
PNG — Portable Network Graphics
PNG is lossless: what goes in comes back out pixel for pixel, no matter how many times you re-save it. Add a full alpha channel and you have the natural home for logos, screenshots, diagrams and anything with hard edges or text. The cost is weight — a photograph stored as PNG can be five times heavier than the same photo as JPG.
Strengths
Lossless — no compression artefacts, at any number of re-saves
Full alpha transparency, including soft anti-aliased edges
Universal support, and the default for screenshots and interface assets
Limitations
Far heavier than JPG or WebP for photographic content
No quality dial — you take the file size you are given
Slower to decode at very large dimensions

Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly and the Canvas API. Your images are never sent over the network, never touch a server, and are dropped from memory as soon as you close the tab.
What happens to an animated GIF?
Only the first frame survives. The browser hands over a single still frame to encode, and PNG is written from that. If you need the animation kept, this is not the right tool — convert it to a video instead.
Will I lose quality?
PNG is lossless, so the output is a pixel-for-pixel copy of what was decoded from the original. The file will usually be bigger than the source, which is the price of keeping every pixel intact.
Is there a limit or a cost?
It is free and there is no account. The only limits are practical: 30 files at a time and 60 MB per file, so that the tab does not run out of memory on a phone.
Can I convert several files at once?
Yes — drop in up to 30 files and they are processed one after another, then downloaded individually or as a single ZIP.
Does it work offline?
Once the page has loaded, yes. The converter itself needs no network connection, so you can drop the connection and keep converting.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, on iOS and Android. Large batches are slower on a phone because the decoding happens on the device, so stick to smaller groups if things feel sluggish.
