Convert GIF to PNG Online
Extract a static image from your GIF file while preserving transparency. PNG supports full alpha channel transparency, unlike GIF's binary transparency.
Why Convert GIF to PNG?
GIF supports only binary transparency (fully transparent or fully opaque). PNG supports alpha channel with 256 levels of transparency, allowing smooth edges and better anti-aliasing.
GIF is limited to 256 colors. When you convert to PNG, the format can store colors more accurately if you later edit the image, and PNG uses lossless compression.
How to Convert GIF to PNG
- Upload your GIF file (static or animated).
- The converter extracts the first frame and saves it as a PNG with transparency preserved.
- Download your PNG file with lossless quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my transparency be preserved when converting GIF to PNG?
Yes. Transparent areas in the GIF remain transparent in the PNG output. PNG actually handles transparency better than GIF.
What happens to animation when I convert to PNG?
Standard PNG does not support animation. The converter extracts only the first frame. For animated output, use APNG or WebP format.
Is PNG larger or smaller than GIF?
For static images, PNG is usually similar or smaller due to better compression. For animated content, a single PNG frame is much smaller than the full GIF.
Is this tool free?
Yes, converting GIF to PNG is 100% free.
