About the GIF to PNG Converter
Convert GIF to PNG online for free, with no account and no watermark. GIF is limited to 256 colours and produces surprisingly heavy files, so switching to PNG is the quickest way to get lossless quality with transparency for screenshots, logos, icons, charts and any image that needs a transparent background.
The converter decodes your GIF with your browser's own image engine and writes the PNG with the built-in canvas encoder, so quality settings are applied precisely. Because everything happens on your own device, your images are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone else, which makes it safe for ID photos, Aadhaar or PAN scans and personal pictures.
What to expect: transparency is preserved because both GIF and PNG support an alpha channel; only the first frame of an animated GIF is converted; PNG stores the pixels without further quality loss; camera metadata such as GPS location is removed because the image is re-encoded.
How to use the GIF to PNG Converter
- Click "Choose files" or drag your GIF images onto the box. You can add several at once.
- Optionally set a maximum width to resize while converting; leave it empty to keep the original size.
- Press "Convert to PNG". The conversion runs on your device and shows its progress.
- Download each PNG file, or use "Download all (ZIP)" when you converted several.
- Open the result in every browser or Windows Photos to check it; your original GIF is never changed.
Tips & benchmarks
- PNG is lossless, so the result will look identical to the source; photos may become noticeably larger than the original.
- Animated GIF files are converted from their first frame; use our video tools if you need every frame.
- Keep the file name simple (letters, numbers and hyphens) if you plan to upload the PNG to a website or government portal.

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a lossless raster image best suited to screenshots, logos, icons, charts and any image that needs a transparent background.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no upload limit, because nothing is uploaded. The practical limit is your device's memory: files of a few hundred megabytes work on most computers, and phones handle smaller files comfortably.

What is a GIF file?
GIF dates back to 1987 and is limited to a palette of 256 colours per frame. That makes it poor for photos but perfect for simple animations, reaction clips and memes, which is why GIF is still everywhere on chat apps and social media.
What is a PNG file?
PNG was designed in 1996 as a patent-free replacement for GIF. It stores every pixel exactly, supports millions of colours and full alpha transparency, which is why screenshots, logos and interface graphics are usually PNG files.
