Convert GIF to PNG
Convert static GIF to PNG for lossless preservation with modern tooling. PNG preserves everything GIF stores, in a modern lossless format.
Static GIF and PNG are both lossless. PNG supports 24-bit colour (versus GIF's 256-colour palette), so PNG can represent the GIF exactly and any future edits without banding.
For animation, this tool produces a static PNG of the first frame. Use animated WebP or MP4 for animated conversions.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I convert GIF to PNG?
- Drop your GIF file into the tool above. It's converted to PNG in the browser and ready to download. Multiple files can be converted at once.
- Why convert GIF to PNG?
- Static GIF and PNG are both lossless. PNG supports 24-bit colour (versus GIF's 256-colour palette), so PNG can represent the GIF exactly and any future edits without banding.
- Is any quality lost when converting to PNG?
- Converting between lossy formats (like JPG to WebP) involves one round of re-encoding, so there is theoretically some quality loss — but at the default quality setting it's visually indistinguishable. Converting to a lossless format (PNG) doesn't lose data from the source.
- Does the PNG file work everywhere the GIF did?
- Modern browsers, image editors, and platforms all support PNG. Older tools (2015-era software, some third-party services) may not — if you need maximum compatibility, JPEG or PNG remain the safest fallbacks.
- Are my files uploaded anywhere?
- No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Files never touch our servers, which matters for pre-publication work, client assets, or anything sensitive.
