Need help?How to Convert GIF to PNG Online
- Upload Your GIF File — Click "Choose Files" or drag and drop your .gif image. Batch conversion is supported.
- Set Image Quality — Under "Image Compression," choose "Quality Preset" (Highest → Lowest, default "Very High") or "Specific file size" (default 8 MB).
- Adjust Colors (Optional) — Keep original or reduce the color palette (2–256 colors) with optional dithering for smaller file sizes.
- Set Compression Level (Optional) — PNG compression level 1–10 (default 6). Higher = smaller file but slower encoding. This is lossless — it doesn't affect quality.
- Set Compression Speed (Optional) — Speed 1–10 (default 4). Lower = better compression, higher = faster encoding.
- Adjust Resolution (Optional) — Keep original, pick a preset (144p–4320p), set by percentage, or enter exact width × height.
- Convert and Download — Click "Convert" and download your PNG image. No sign-up required.
Why Convert GIF to PNG?
GIF is limited to 256 colors and binary transparency (a pixel is either fully transparent or fully opaque). PNG supports millions of colors (24-bit) and smooth alpha transparency with 256 levels of opacity — making it far superior for static images.
Converting GIF to PNG is useful when you need a static frame from an animated GIF, want better color accuracy for graphics and logos, or need proper alpha transparency for overlays and compositing.
Note: animated GIFs are converted to a static PNG image (first frame). For animated output, consider GIF to WebP or GIF to MP4.

| Transparency | Binary (on/off) | Alpha (256 levels) |
| Animation | ✅ Supported | ❌ Static only |
| Compression | LZW (lossless) | Deflate (lossless) |
| Best for | Simple animations | Static graphics, logos, screenshots |
Frequently Asked Questions
Will animated GIFs keep their animation?
No. The output is a static PNG image. For animated output, convert to WebP or MP4.
Does PNG compression level affect quality?
No. PNG compression is always lossless. Higher compression level (1–10, default 6) only affects file size and encoding speed — not visual quality.
Can I batch convert?
Yes. Upload multiple GIF files and download PNG results individually or as a ZIP archive.
