GIF to PNG Converter

Convert GIF graphics to PNG while keeping transparent areas. For animated GIFs the converter saves the first frame as a lossless PNG, which is useful for stills, thumbnails and editing in tools that do not handle GIF well.

How to Use the GIF to PNG

Add your GIF files with drag and drop or the file picker.
Press Convert. There is nothing to configure because PNG is lossless and keeps transparency.
Look at the size table and preview.
Download the PNGs, or the ZIP for several files.

About This Tool

Designers, developers and content editors who need a still, transparent-capable PNG from a GIF logo, sticker or animation.

Input: GIF (first frame) · Output: PNG.

Features and Limitations

Features

Transparency is preserved.
Lossless PNG output with the same pixel dimensions.
Works with animated GIFs by taking frame one.
Batch conversion and ZIP download.

Limitations

Only the first frame of an animated GIF is saved. The animation is not converted.
A GIF has at most 256 colours, so converting to PNG does not add colours; the PNG may also be larger.
Metadata is not copied. Each file can be up to 20 MB.
Processing happens on your device, so very large files depend on your browser's available memory.

Example

A 200 × 200 px transparent animated sticker GIF becomes a 200 × 200 px transparent PNG showing its first frame.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I convert every frame of an animated GIF to PNG?

No. This tool saves only the first frame.

Is GIF transparency kept in the PNG?

Yes, transparent GIF pixels become transparent PNG pixels.

Why is the PNG bigger than the GIF?

GIF animation frames and its small palette often compress very well. A single full-colour PNG frame can be larger.

Do you upload my GIF?

No. Your browser decodes the GIF and writes the PNG on your device.
