GIF to PNG converter
Convert GIF images to PNG in your browser — every pixel kept exactly. Free, no sign-up, nothing uploaded.
Part of image tools and design tools.
What happens to quality
Both formats are lossless, so the conversion is exact: every pixel of the GIF comes out unchanged in the PNG, and there is no quality setting to get wrong. PNG has no 256-colour limit, but converting does not restore colours the GIF already dropped. What you gain is a file that is usually smaller for a still image, with the palette limit gone for later edits. PNG is the right target for logos, icons, diagrams and screenshots of text, and for anything that will be edited and saved again.
What happens to transparency
GIF and PNG both have an alpha channel, so transparent and semi-transparent pixels come through as they are — a logo on a transparent background stays on a transparent background. GIF transparency is all-or-nothing per pixel, and it stays that way: the converter does not invent soft edges the original did not have.
Animated GIF files
An animated GIF is converted as a single still. The conversion goes through a canvas, which holds one picture, so the PNG you download is the first frame only. For a still image that is exactly what you want; for an animation, this is the wrong tool.
Your GIF never leaves this page
Most online GIF to PNG converters upload the file to a server and send the result back. This one decodes and re-encodes it with the image APIs built into your browser, so the PNG you download was produced on your own machine — you can check by opening the network tab, or by going offline and converting anyway.
