How to convert GIF to PNG
- Add your files. Drop GIF files anywhere on the page, or use Choose files. Folders and ZIP archives work too; every GIF inside is picked up.
- Check that PNG is selected. PNG is already chosen on this page. Other formats in the same row are one tap away if you change your mind.
- Adjust options if you need to. Adjust quality and size if you need to; the defaults keep the full resolution.
- Convert and download. Press Convert. Each file shows its progress, then a Download button. With several files, “Download all” gives you a single ZIP.
What happens to your GIF
Only the first frame of an animated GIF is used. PNG is lossless, so nothing more is lost; photos saved as PNG are larger than the original, which is normal.
Converted files contain no EXIF metadata, so camera details and GPS location are removed, and photo rotation is applied to the pixels. A size option can scale large images down.
About GIF and PNG
GIF: GIF is an old format limited to 256 colours that supports simple animation and transparency. It is still used for short loops and simple graphics.
PNG: PNG is lossless and supports transparency, which makes it the usual choice for screenshots, logos and graphics with sharp edges. Photos saved as PNG are much larger than JPGs.
Questions
Is my GIF file uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion runs inside this browser tab using code served by this site, and the PNG is created on your device. You can even disconnect from the internet once the page and its converter have loaded.
Will the PNG look the same as the GIF?
Yes, apart from what the PNG format itself allows: transparency is lost in JPG, colours are limited in GIF, and lossy formats compress fine detail at lower quality settings. Pixel dimensions stay the same unless you choose a size.
Can I convert several GIF files at once?
Yes. Drop as many GIF files as you like, a whole folder or a ZIP. They convert one after another, and “Download all” saves every PNG in one ZIP that keeps your folder structure.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no fixed limit, because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device’s memory: a phone may struggle with very large files that a laptop converts easily.
