About converting GIF to PNG
This converts GIF images to PNG entirely in your browser. GIF is an old format limited to 256 colours that supports simple animation and 1-bit transparency. PNG is a lossless format that keeps every pixel exactly and supports transparency, at the cost of larger files — ideal for graphics, screenshots and logos. Converting a GIF to PNG gives you a clean, full-colour still image of the frame. The conversion runs on your device using the Canvas API, so your images are never uploaded.
How it works
Your GIF image is decoded and redrawn onto an HTML canvas, then re-encoded as PNG. PNG is lossless, so no quality is thrown away in the encoding. The pixel dimensions are kept the same — only the format changes. PNG supports transparency, so transparent areas are preserved.
Good to know
GIF is limited to 256 colours and can be animated; this takes a single (first) frame — any animation is lost and the result is a static image.
Privacy
Conversion happens entirely in your browser with the Canvas API. Your GIF images and the PNG result are never uploaded or stored. Re-encoding also strips any embedded metadata, such as camera info or GPS location.
常见问题
Is this GIF to PNG converter free?
Yes — 100% free, no sign-up, no watermark, and no limits. It runs entirely in your browser.
Are my GIF images uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion runs on your device with the Canvas API, so your images never leave your browser.
What happens to transparency?
PNG supports transparency, so transparent areas are kept in the converted image.
Will the image quality change?
PNG is lossless, so the encoding itself adds no quality loss.
What happens to an animated GIF?
Only a single frame is converted. PNG here is a still image, so any animation in the GIF is lost.
Does it change the image dimensions?
No. The width and height stay the same — only the file format changes. Use the Resize Image tool if you also need to change the size.
Does converting remove my photo's metadata?
Yes. Re-encoding through the canvas strips embedded metadata like camera details and GPS location — a small privacy bonus.
