Frequently asked questions
What happens with animated GIFs?
Only the first frame is converted, and the tool tells you how many frames the GIF had. Use the video tools if you need every frame or a video version.
Does the PNG keep GIF transparency?
Yes. GIF transparency becomes transparent pixels in the PNG.
Will colors change?
No. GIF is limited to 256 colors, and PNG stores those exact colors, so the still looks the same as the GIF frame.
Why convert a GIF to PNG at all?
PNG is better supported by design and office tools, handles transparency more cleanly, and is often smaller than a GIF for still images.
Is it private?
Yes. Your GIFs stay on your device.
