Processed on your device - nothing is uploaded.
HOW IT WORKS
1
Drop the gif file
Drag your GIF onto the page or click to browse. It is read locally, never sent anywhere.
2
Choose PNG and quality
Pick a bitrate if it matters for PNG; the default suits most ears. Click Convert to start processing in this tab.
3
Save the png
The finished PNG downloads straight back to your device. Nothing touched a server on the way.
Why convert here, not there
No upload, ever
Your gif file is decoded and re-encoded by code in this tab - a song, a memo, a podcast never leaves the device.
Local conversion
No upload time for a big gif file, no server queue, no waiting on a download link.
No account, no daily cap
No daily caps, no "3 conversions left", no email wall. Convert the whole gif library.
The two formats, briefly
| GIF | GIF can hold looping animation, with up to 256 colors per frame and no audio. Converting to or from GIF can change colors, dimensions or animation. | |
|---|---|---|
| PNG | PNG stores raster pixels with lossless compression and supports transparency. A decoded PNG export is not a copy of all source metadata or animation. | |
When you need this
- Export the decoded GIF image as PNG for an editor or upload form that accepts PNG. Transparency can be retained where the decoded image has it, but metadata and animation are not preserved.
GIF vs PNG: what changes
| GIF | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Kind | Video | Image |
| Compression | Limited-palette image | Lossless raster compression |
| Typical size | Depends on the file and encoding settings. | Measure the exported file; it may be larger. |
| Opens on | Check the source in your app and browser. | Check the downloaded file in the receiving app. |
| Best for | Keep the original as your source. | PNG workflows, subject to the limits below. |
Keep the original. Compare the exported file before sharing or replacing it.
Good to know
- PNG encoding does not use a quality slider. It stores the browser-decoded raster, not every feature of the source file. Metadata, animation and higher-precision color handling may change.
- Only a decoded still frame is exported by this image path; GIF animation is not preserved.
GIF to PNG, answered
Why convert GIF to PNG?+
Export the decoded GIF image as PNG for an editor or upload form that accepts PNG. Transparency can be retained where the decoded image has it, but metadata and animation are not preserved.
Which quality should I pick?+
PNG encoding does not use a quality slider. It stores the browser-decoded raster, not every feature of the source file. Metadata, animation and higher-precision color handling may change.
Does converting GIF to PNG lose quality?+
PNG losslessly stores the decoded raster, not the entire source file. Metadata and animation are not kept, and decoding can change color handling or precision. SVG paths become pixels; TIFF contributes its first image.
Is there a file size limit?+
The hard cap is 2 GB per file. The practical limit is your device: conversion runs in its memory, so very large files can fail on phones with little free RAM. There is no server-side cap because nothing is uploaded.
Does my file get uploaded anywhere?+
Never. Your gif file stays inside this tab; the png is produced by code on your device. Its contents never leave your device.
