About GIF to PNG conversion

GIF is limited to 256 colors and basic transparency (on/off). PNG supports millions of colors and smooth alpha transparency. Converting GIF to PNG preserves transparency while improving color depth. For animated GIFs, this extracts the first frame as a high-quality static image.

When to convert GIF to PNG

You have a GIF with transparency that needs better color depth, or you want to extract a frame from an animated GIF while keeping the transparent background.

This tool converts the first frame of your GIF to PNG with full transparency support and unlimited colors.

PNG is ideal when you need transparency or lossless quality. For photos without transparency, JPEG offers smaller files.

Frequently asked questions

Is transparency preserved?
Yes, GIF transparency is converted to PNG transparency. PNG actually supports better transparency (alpha channel) than GIF.
What happens to animated GIFs?
The first frame of the animation is extracted and converted to PNG. Animation is not preserved as standard PNG only supports static images.
Will colors look better?
Yes, if your GIF has gradients or photographic content. GIF is limited to 256 colors while PNG supports millions, so color banding may be reduced.
Will the file be smaller?
It depends. PNG may be larger for simple graphics due to supporting more colors. For photos and complex images, PNG is usually smaller than GIF.
Is my file stored on your servers?
Files are kept only long enough for you to download the result. Everything is automatically deleted within 24 hours. We do not store, share, or analyze your images.
