What is GIF to PNG Conversion?
GIF is an image format that supports animation and a limited 256-color palette. PNG supports millions of colors with lossless compression and alpha transparency. Converting GIF to PNG gives you higher color depth and better quality for static images.
When to Convert GIF to PNG
Convert GIF to PNG when you need a static thumbnail from an animated GIF, want better color accuracy than GIF's 256-color limit, or need smooth alpha transparency instead of GIF's binary transparency (pixel is either fully transparent or fully opaque).

FAQ
What happens with animated GIFs?
Animated GIFs are converted by extracting the first frame as a static PNG image. If you need to convert an animated GIF to video, use our GIF to MP4 tool instead.
Will the PNG be larger than the GIF?
For static GIFs, the PNG may be slightly larger or smaller depending on the image. For animated GIFs, the resulting PNG (single frame) will be much smaller since it only contains one frame.
Does PNG support transparency like GIF?
Yes, and PNG does it better. GIF only supports binary transparency (fully transparent or fully opaque), while PNG supports smooth alpha transparency with 256 levels of opacity.
