Convert GIF to PNG
GIF is an old palette-based format limited to 256 colors per frame. Converting to PNG gives you a static, full-color image of the first frame — useful when you only need a still preview or thumbnail.
Your files never leave your device. No upload. No sign-up.

Why convert GIF to PNG?
Use this when you need a poster image for a video, a thumbnail of an animated meme, or a static logo from a legacy GIF. The output is a single high-quality PNG with transparency intact.
Frequently asked questions
- Will the PNG be animated?
- No. PNG (not APNG) is a static format, so the converted file contains only the first frame of your GIF.
- Is GIF transparency preserved?
- Yes, the transparent pixels from the GIF are kept as transparent pixels in the PNG.
- Why does my PNG look slightly different from the GIF?
- GIFs use a limited 256-color palette. PNG can render those colors more smoothly, especially around dithered or anti-aliased edges.
