GIF to PNG Converter
Drop GIF files, get PNG back — 100% in your browser. File data never leaves your device — no accounts, no daily limits. Batch convert, or extract every frame.

PNG is a single still image, so animation is lost in first-frame mode. GIF is limited to 256 colours, so converting cannot add detail — and the PNG output is usually larger than the source GIF. Transparency is preserved via the alpha channel.

How to convert GIF to PNG without uploading it
- Pick a mode — first frame only (the default, one still PNG per GIF) or extract all frames (every frame as its own PNG). The mode applies to files you add after choosing it.
- Drop your GIF files above — or paste one straight from your clipboard. You can add up to 20 at once. Each card shows the frame count and dimensions.
- Download each file, or grab everything as one ZIP. Your originals are untouched and your file data never leaves your device.
Why convert GIF to PNG at all?
GIF is small because it is limited to 256 colours — fine for simple graphics and animation, bad for editing or printing. PNG is lossless and supports millions of colours plus a full alpha channel: once your image is a PNG, every further edit and save keeps exactly what is there, with no more quality loss. Some design tools, print workflows, and upload forms also prefer or require PNG. Converting is the right move when you need a still image from a GIF for editing, or when a tool will not accept a GIF.
Honest limitations
- Animation is lost in first-frame mode — PNG is a single still image, so only the first frame is saved. Use extract-all-frames mode to keep every frame as its own PNG.
- Converting cannot add detail — GIF is limited to 256 colours, and a PNG wrapper cannot bring back colours or detail that were never there. The PNG keeps exactly the quality the GIF had.
- PNG output is usually larger than the source GIF — GIF compresses tightly at 256 colours, while PNG stores every pixel exactly. The tool shows the real size on each file.
- Transparency is preserved — transparent pixels in the GIF stay transparent in the PNG via the alpha channel, in both modes.
- Estimates are estimates — the size shown while converting is a rough model; the real size is shown once conversion finishes.
Frequently asked questions
How can I convert GIF to PNG without uploading it anywhere?
This converter runs entirely in your browser: it decodes your GIF with your browser's built-in support and re-encodes it as PNG on a canvas. Your file data never leaves your device — the only third-party requests are the site's own analytics, which load at page open and never see your files. Verify it in the Network tab while it works.
Does converting a GIF to PNG keep the animation?
No — PNG is a single still image, so animation is lost in first-frame mode: you get the first frame as a still PNG. If you want to keep the motion, use the extract-all-frames mode instead, which saves every frame as its own PNG (named name-frame-01.png, name-frame-02.png, and so on). The frames are stills, but together they hold every image in the animation.
Will the PNG be bigger than the GIF?
Usually, yes. GIF is limited to 256 colours, so it compresses tightly, while PNG stores every pixel exactly and keeps the full alpha channel. A flat graphic PNG can still be small, but a photographic GIF often converts to a PNG several times larger. That is normal, not a defect — the tool tells you the size on each file instead of hiding it.
Does converting GIF to PNG improve quality?
No. GIF is limited to 256 colours, so converting cannot add detail that was never there — it only stops further loss. A GIF saved as PNG keeps exactly the colours and sharpness the GIF had, in a lossless wrapper. Keep the original GIF if you need the smallest file or the animation.
Will my PNG keep the GIF's transparency?
Yes. GIF transparency is preserved via the PNG alpha channel in both modes: transparent pixels in the GIF stay transparent in the PNG. In extract-all-frames mode each frame is composited honouring the GIF disposal methods and the transparent palette index, so frames that only change part of the picture still come out looking right.
How do I extract every frame of an animated GIF as PNGs?
Choose the extract-all-frames mode before you drop your files, then drop the GIF. Each frame is composited to its own PNG — name-frame-01.png, name-frame-02.png, and so on — with its own download link, or grab them all in one ZIP. The frame count and dimensions are shown on each file card.
Is there a file size or daily limit?
No daily limit, no account. A 25 MB cap per file, a 50 megapixel cap per image, and 20 files per batch apply, because browsers cannot safely hold larger images in memory.
How do I verify my files really never upload?
Open developer tools (F12), go to the Network tab, then convert a file. Your file data never leaves your device — the only third-party requests are the site's own analytics, which load at page open and never see your files. The live counter above shows the same number.
