About this tool

This tool converts GIF images to PNG directly in your browser. The file is decoded onto an HTML canvas and re-encoded as PNG, so it never touches a server and the conversion finishes in milliseconds.

PNG is lossless and preserves transparency, which makes it ideal for logos, icons, and screenshots.

GIF vs PNG: what changes

What is GIF (Graphics Interchange Format)?

GIF is a raster format limited to a 256-colour palette per frame, with support for simple animation and 1-bit (on/off) transparency. It uses lossless LZW compression.

Best for: Short looping animations and simple graphics with few colours. Trade-offs: Only 256 colours (poor for photos), 1-bit transparency with hard edges, and large file sizes compared with video or WebP.

What is PNG (Portable Network Graphics)?

PNG is a lossless raster image format that supports up to 16.7 million colours plus a full 8-bit alpha channel for transparency. It uses DEFLATE compression, so re-saving a PNG never degrades quality.

Best for: Logos, icons, screenshots, line art, and any image that needs sharp edges or a transparent background. Trade-offs: Files are much larger than JPG or WebP for photographs, and PNG cannot store animation.
