This free GIF to PNG converter turns GIFs into PNGs with every pixel kept, in your browser.
A PNG opens in every app and editor, keeps the GIF's transparency, and is often smaller. Nothing is uploaded.
Here's what happens to a moving GIF, how this converter did against CloudConvert, and when to pick PNG.
TL;DRKey takeaways
What is a GIF to PNG converter?
A GIF to PNG converter turns a GIF image into a PNG file: the same picture, in a format every app can edit.
A GIF holds up to 256 colors, and a PNG holds all of them exactly. So nothing is lost on the way.
When to convert GIF to PNG
Pick PNG when an app, an upload form or an editor won't take GIF. It's also the right format for a still picture you'll edit again.
For a photo you only want to share, GIF to JPG gives a much smaller file.
What happens to a moving GIF
A GIF can hold many frames, and a PNG or JPG holds one picture. So a moving GIF becomes its first frame, and the converter says so.
CloudConvert does the same: a 60-frame GIF gave back one picture as a PNG, a JPG and a WebP. To keep every frame, turn the GIF into a video with a GIF to MP4 converter.
Compared with CloudConvert
I converted the same GIFs here and with CloudConvert, at each one's default settings:
- Original
- 2.7 MB
- CloudConvert
- 62 KB, every pixel kept
- This converter
- 57 KB, every pixel kept
- Original
- 3 KB
- CloudConvert
- 2 KB, every pixel kept
- This converter
- 1 KB, every pixel kept
Both converters kept every pixel of the first frame, with a score of 100. This converter's PNGs were smaller, packed tighter by OxiPNG.
How I tested
I tested on September 30, 2026. The GIFs were a 60-frame clip from my AI Creator Summit, and a logo saved as a still GIF with a see-through background by ImageMagick.
The score is SSIMULACRA 2, a metric from Cloudinary that compares two pictures the way your eye does:
| Score | What it means |
|---|---|
| 90 and up | Looks identical: no difference even flicking between them at 100% |
| 80 to 90 | Same side by side at 100% |
| 70 to 80 | High quality: hard to notice without comparing |
| 50 to 70 | Medium quality: you can see it up close |
| Under 50 | Visible loss |
Who is the GIF to PNG converter for?
It's for anyone with a GIF an app won't take:
- PNG compressor – anyone making the PNG smaller still
- PNG to SVG converter – designers turning an old GIF logo into vector shapes
- Image resizer – anyone who needs the picture at a new size
- Logo background remover – anyone cleaning up an old logo
It works in your browser, and your GIFs never leave your computer.
