Why convert GIF to PNG?
PNG supports millions of colors and smooth, anti-aliased transparency, while GIF is limited to a 256-colour palette. Converting a GIF to PNG gives you a cleaner, higher-quality still image — ideal for logos, icons, and graphics.
Does GIF to PNG keep the animation?
No. A GIF animation is made of many frames; this tool converts the first frame to a single still PNG. For one image, PNG offers better colour depth and cleaner transparency than GIF.
Is this GIF to PNG converter free and private?
Yes. It is completely free, with no signup, no watermark, and no limit on how many files you convert. Every conversion happens locally on your device, so your images are never uploaded to a server. Read more in our privacy policy.
