It extracts the visual data from a GIF file and saves it in PNG format, which uses lossless compression. This is ideal when you need better quality or transparency support without GIF's 256-color limitation.

No, PNG is a static image format. When converting GIF to PNG, only the first frame is extracted. To preserve animations, use WebP or APNG (Animated PNG) formats instead.

No quality is lost. PNG uses lossless compression, so the extracted frame maintains exactly the same visual quality as the original GIF frame. In fact, PNG can display more colors than GIF's 256-color palette.

Convert to PNG when you need better color depth (millions of colors vs 256), better compression for non-animated graphics, or when you're working with design tools that prefer PNG format. Keep GIF only if you need animation.

Transparency is preserved perfectly. GIF's 1-bit transparency (fully transparent or fully opaque) converts cleanly to PNG's superior alpha channel, which supports partial transparency and smoother edges.

Usually yes, especially for simple graphics with solid colors or text. PNG's compression algorithm is more efficient than GIF for static images. Animated GIFs will always be larger due to multiple frames.

Yes. Select or drag multiple GIF files to convert them all in batch. Download each PNG individually or get all as a ZIP archive for convenience.

No. All conversions happen entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your GIF files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.

This tool extracts only the first frame. To get all frames individually, you'll need specialized GIF frame extraction tools, then convert each frame to PNG if needed.

If the original GIF already had efficient compression or contained only a few colors, PNG might not compress much further. Also, PNGs can store metadata that adds to file size. Use image optimization tools if size is critical.
