how to convert gif to png
Drop your GIF file
Drag your GIF file into the drop zone above, or click the box to pick a file from your computer or phone. The browser reads the file directly — nothing uploads.
Click Convert
The page runs Canvas API on your device to decode the Graphics Interchange Format and encode it as Portable Network Graphics. Most conversions finish in a few seconds; large or codec-heavy files (RAW, video) can take longer.
Download the PNG file
When the conversion finishes, the PNG file is ready to download. Save it anywhere on your device.
FAQ
common questions
Will my GIF file lose quality when converted to PNG?
No. Both Graphics Interchange Format and Portable Network Graphics are lossless, so the converter unpacks your source and re-stores the same data in the target format. The visible result is bit-identical when viewed in any compatible app.
What happens to transparency when converting GIF to PNG?
Yes. Both Graphics Interchange Format and Portable Network Graphics support transparency, so any alpha channel in your source GIF is preserved in the PNG output.
Will an animated GIF convert to an animated PNG?
Only the first frame. Portable Network Graphics is a still-image format, so an animated GIF converts to a single image showing frame 1. The rest of the animation is discarded.
Will the PNG file be smaller or larger than my GIF?
Usually a little larger. Portable Network Graphics doesn't compress as aggressively as Graphics Interchange Format for typical content.
When does it make sense to convert GIF to PNG?
Common reasons: GIF is limited to 256 colours per frame — photos look posterised, while PNG is lossless — saving and re-saving never degrades quality. Converting also matters when the app, device, or platform you're sharing with prefers Portable Network Graphics — every image viewer, browser, and graphics tool.
Where will my PNG file open after conversion?
Every image viewer, browser, and graphics tool. Portable Network Graphics is widely enough supported that you can hand the output file to most modern apps and expect them to render it.
Does this site upload my GIF files anywhere?
No. The whole conversion runs in your browser using Canvas API. The file you drop in never leaves your device — we don't see it, and we couldn't even if we wanted to.
Is there a file size limit for GIF to PNG?
There's no hard cap — limit is your device's memory. Several hundred megabytes works fine on a typical laptop. Phones and low-RAM machines may struggle with very large files.
Does GIF to PNG work offline?
Once this page has loaded, yes. The converter library lives in your browser and runs without any further network calls. Reloading the page does still need connectivity.
