GIF

GIF Graphics Interchange Format

GIF is a 1987 format limited to a 256-colour palette per frame. It survives because it animates everywhere: chat apps, email clients and forums all play GIFs without a video player.

PNG

PNG Portable Network Graphics

PNG stores pixels with lossless DEFLATE compression and a full 8-bit alpha channel. It is the safe default for screenshots, logos, UI assets and anything with sharp edges or text, because every pixel survives exactly as drawn.

Why convert GIF to PNG?

GIFs come from chat apps, meme sites and screen-capture tools, and many of them are animated. The 256-colour palette causes banding in photos, and animated GIFs are far larger than video. Choose PNG when you need exact pixels or transparency, for example to keep editing the image or place it on a coloured background.

GIF to PNG settings

Animated GIF files are converted using their first frame. You can also cap the width and height, which resizes large photos in the same step.

Frequently asked questions

Will the PNG lose quality?

No. Both formats are lossless, so every pixel or sample in your GIF is kept exactly.

Is transparency kept when converting GIF to PNG?

Yes. PNG supports transparency, so transparent areas in your GIF stay transparent.

Will the PNG be smaller than the GIF?

No, usually larger for photos: as a rough guide, the PNG comes out at around 2.8× the size of the GIF, depending on the quality setting.
