GIF to PNG Questions
Are my GIF files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly, so your GIF files never leave your device. Nothing is stored, and the page keeps working even on a slow connection.
Will converting GIF to PNG reduce quality?
No. Both GIF and PNG are lossless, so every pixel is kept exactly.
Is transparency kept?
Yes. PNG supports full transparency, so soft edges, shadows and see-through areas come through intact.
What about animated GIF files?
Only the first frame is converted, producing a still PNG. Animation isn’t carried over in this version.
Will the PNG file be bigger or smaller?
It depends on the image. The converter shows the original and new size for every file, so you can compare before downloading.
Is the GIF to PNG converter free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. Convert up to 50 files per batch, as many times as you like.
