Why Convert GIF to PNG?
✓ Full Color Depth
PNG supports millions of colors compared to GIF's 256-color limit, producing better results for complex images.
✓ Better Transparency
PNG supports a full alpha channel with semi-transparency. GIF only supports binary (fully on/off) transparency.
✓ Lossless Quality
PNG's lossless compression preserves all image data without artifacts — ideal for further editing.
✓ Private
All conversion happens locally in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server.

PNG

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to animated GIFs?
Only the first frame is extracted and converted to PNG. Standard PNG does not support animation.
Will the PNG file be larger than the GIF?
Often yes, because PNG is lossless and supports a full color range. For small flat-color images, the sizes may be similar.
Is transparency preserved?
Yes. GIF transparency is preserved in the PNG output as a transparent alpha channel.
Are my files private?
Yes. Everything runs locally in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded to any server.
