What happens when you convert GIF to PNG
GIF is the legacy animation format: a 256-colour palette and 1-bit transparency, but it plays anywhere, including places that still refuse video. PNG is a lossless format with full alpha transparency — ideal for screenshots, logos, and artwork with sharp edges, at the cost of larger files for photos.
- Only the first frame survives, but it lands as a clean lossless still.
- Transparent pixels stay transparent — the alpha channel is carried across.
- PNG is a still-image format, so an animated source is reduced to its first frame.
- PNG is lossless, so the output matches the decoded source pixel for pixel.
- EXIF metadata, including GPS coordinates, is dropped. Orientation is applied first, so the image stays the right way up.
- The file is converted in memory and streamed straight back — nothing is written to disk or saved to an account.
Frequently asked questions
Is converting GIF to PNG free?+
Yes — free, no watermark, and no account required. Signing in raises the per-file size limit and is the only reason you would need one.
Do you store the images I convert?+
No. Conversion happens in memory during the request and the result is streamed back to your browser. The file never touches our disks or database, and there is nothing to delete afterwards.
Will I lose quality converting to PNG?+
PNG encoding itself is lossless, so nothing is lost in this step.
Can I convert an animated GIF?+
You can, but PNG cannot hold an animation — you get the first frame as a still image. To keep the motion, convert to WebP or GIF instead.
Can I convert PNG back to GIF?+
Yes — the PNG to GIF converter handles the reverse direction.
