Why convert GIF to PNG?

PNG stores a GIF frame without the 256-color limit and with proper alpha transparency, so logos and graphics trapped in GIF files come out crisp. For animated GIFs this tool converts the first frame — handy for turning an animation into a clean still thumbnail.

Conversion happens entirely in your browser — no upload, no queue, no watermark. Drop in as many files as you like and download them individually or as a zip.

Frequently asked questions

What happens with animated GIFs?
The first frame is converted and you'll see a warning that the animation is lost. Frame-by-frame extraction of whole animations is coming as part of our video tools.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Conversion happens inside your browser using the canvas API and a Web Worker — files never leave your device. There is no upload step, no queue and no file size limit beyond your machine's memory.
Is EXIF metadata kept in the converted image?
No — and that's a feature. Re-encoding through the canvas strips all metadata: GPS location, camera model, timestamps and color profiles. The output contains pixels only, which is usually what you want before sharing an image publicly.
Can I convert many images at once?
Yes. Drop or paste any number of files; each is converted in the background with its own progress and download button, and you can grab everything at once as a .zip archive.
Why did my image get re-compressed even converting PNG to PNG?
The converter always decodes to raw pixels and re-encodes, which is also how metadata gets stripped. For lossless targets (PNG, and GIF within its 256-color limit) the pixels stay identical; for JPEG and WebP the quality slider controls the trade-off.
