How do I convert GIF to PNG?

Drop your GIF file onto this page and the PNG version is produced immediately, in your browser. There is no upload, no queue and no account — the conversion runs on your own device using the canvas API.

Does converting GIF to PNG lose quality?

PNG is lossless, so nothing further is discarded during the conversion itself. Anything already lost by GIF's own compression cannot be recovered.

Is my GIF file uploaded to a server?

No. The file is read by your browser, decoded and re-encoded on your device, and handed straight back. Nothing is transmitted, which matters when the image is a document, a screenshot of something private, or a photograph with location data in it.

Why would I convert GIF to PNG?

Lossless, with full alpha transparency. Perfect for screenshots, logos, diagrams and anything with hard edges or flat colour. That is usually the reason. Capped at 256 colours, so photographs band badly, and the files are far larger than an equivalent video or animated WebP.

About the GIF to PNG

GIF is Graphics Interchange Format. Universally supported animation, and transparency that works everywhere including decades-old software. Capped at 256 colours, so photographs band badly, and the files are far larger than an equivalent video or animated WebP.

PNG is Portable Network Graphics. Lossless, with full alpha transparency. Perfect for screenshots, logos, diagrams and anything with hard edges or flat colour. Large for photographs — it stores every pixel exactly, and a photograph has no repeating detail to compress.

What changes in this conversion: PNG holds a single image. An animated GIF will be converted to its first frame only.

The whole conversion happens on a canvas in your own browser. The file is read from disk with the File API, decoded, redrawn and re-encoded locally, so it is never uploaded and there is no size limit beyond your device's memory.

How it works

Drop in a GIF file — it is read by your browser, not uploaded.
It is decoded and re-encoded as PNG on your own device.
Download the result. Nothing is stored anywhere.
