How to Convert GIF to PNG Online
GIF is limited to 256 colours, while PNG is full-colour and lossless — so a still image often looks noticeably sharper as a PNG, with cleaner transparency. This free GIF to PNG converter runs entirely in your browser, so your images are never uploaded. Convert one file or a whole batch, then download them all as a ZIP.
Add your GIF images
Drop one or many .gif files. They are converted locally on your device, never uploaded.
Convert to PNG
Click Convert — each GIF becomes a lossless PNG (first frame for animations), in seconds.

Save one image or grab your whole batch as a single ZIP. Your originals stay untouched.
Why Convert GIF to PNG
PNG is the better format for still graphics. Converting from GIF helps when:
Full colour, sharper image
GIF is capped at 256 colours; PNG supports millions. Gradients and photos look far cleaner as PNG.
Smooth transparency
GIF transparency has hard, jagged edges. PNG supports soft alpha transparency for clean edges everywhere.
Editor-friendly
PNG is the standard for design tools, templates and apps — easier to edit and place than GIF.
Lossless quality
The PNG keeps the frame pixel-for-pixel, ideal for images you'll keep editing and re-saving.
Animation becomes one frame
Honest note: PNG can't animate. An animated GIF is converted to a single still PNG of its first frame.
Runs in your browser
Your images are converted on your own device and never uploaded, so it's private and instant.
Free and 100% Private
This converter is genuinely free and genuinely private. There is no account and no daily cap — and because every image is processed by your own browser, your files never leave your device. Nothing is uploaded, stored or seen by anyone, and your PNGs carry no watermark.
