Why convert GIF to PNG?

GIF is limited to 256 colors and only supports binary transparency (a pixel is either fully transparent or fully opaque). PNG removes both limitations — it supports millions of colors and full alpha transparency with smooth semi-transparent edges. Converting GIF to PNG gives you a higher-quality image file.

PNG is a lossless format supported by every browser, operating system, and image editor. The binary transparency from your GIF will be preserved in PNG, and you'll gain the ability to edit the image with full color depth in any graphics application.

PNG files may be slightly larger than GIF for very simple graphics, but the gain in color depth and transparency quality is significant. For web optimization, consider converting to WebP instead.

This converter processes files locally in your browser — nothing is sent to any server. No registration, no limits, no watermarks.

How to convert GIF to PNG

Upload your GIF file
Drag and drop your GIF image onto the converter area or click to browse your device. You can add multiple files at once for batch conversion.
Click Convert
PNG is lossless, so there is no quality slider: every pixel goes into the file unchanged and transparency stays.
Download PNG
The Download button next to a file saves it on its own, and Download all packs all finished files into one ZIP archive. With a single finished file no archive is made, the file downloads directly.

When should you convert GIF to PNG?

Website optimization
Convert GIF to PNG to preserve transparency and image quality for web graphics.
Email and sharing
PNG files are universally accepted by email clients like Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail. Convert to PNG for high-quality images suitable for sharing.
Further editing
PNG opens in every graphics editor and stores pixels without loss, so further saves do not degrade the image.
Documents and archival
PNG is an excellent choice for archival and professional printing due to its lossless compression.

How much does a file weigh after converting GIF to PNG?

Three test files went through this converter at the default settings: a photo of 1280 × 1659 pixels, a screenshot of 1920 × 1060 pixels and a 512 × 512 pixel icon with a transparent background. Sizes are given exactly as the tool counts them: kilobytes and megabytes of 1024, with the same rounding.

File	Dimensions in pixels	GIF	PNG	Change
Photo	1280 × 1659	1.34 MB	3.66 MB	2.7 times larger
Screenshot	1920 × 1060	130.3 KB	300.4 KB	2.3 times larger
Icon with transparency	512 × 512	6.55 KB	19.6 KB	3 times larger

Our own measurement from 6 September 2026 in a Chromium-based browser. PNG stores every pixel without loss, so the size depends on the amount of detail, not on the source format: the photo grows the most, the simple icon the least.

Is PNG suitable for a web page?

Not for publishing on the web. The test photo grew from 1.34 MB to 3.66 MB, because PNG stores every pixel without loss. For a web page keep GIF or save the image as WebP or AVIF, because those formats give the lightest files in a browser.

PNG makes sense where lossless storage and transparency matters: further editing in a graphics program, graphics with text and sharp edges, office documents.

Frequently asked questions about GIF to PNG conversion

Is converting GIF to PNG free?

Yes, this GIF to PNG converter is completely free with no limits. You can convert as many files as you need without registration or watermarks.

Does the converter upload my files to a server?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript and Canvas API. Your files never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.

Will I lose quality when converting GIF to PNG?

No. PNG stores every pixel without loss, so the result looks exactly like the image read from the GIF file. Detail lost earlier when GIF was saved is not recovered by the conversion.

Can I convert multiple GIF files at once?

Yes, the converter supports batch conversion. You can add multiple GIF files and convert them all to PNG simultaneously. Use the batch download option to save all converted files at once.

What is the maximum file size?

Each file may be up to 100 MB; a larger one stops on the list with a message that it is too large. The number of files in the queue is not limited, and large images take longer because the browser decodes them fully into memory.

Does the converter work on mobile devices?

Yes, the converter works on any device with a modern web browser, including smartphones and tablets. The interface adapts to your screen size for a comfortable experience on any device.

Is converting GIF to PNG safe for my files?
