How it works
- Drop your files in the zone above (or click it, or paste with Ctrl+V).
- They convert instantly, right in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
- Adjust quality or max width if needed; files reconvert automatically.
- Download files one by one, or everything at once as a ZIP.
About the formats
GIF
GIF is a 1987 format limited to 256 colours, kept alive by animation support. For still images it's obsolete: PNG renders the same picture with full colour depth, usually in a smaller file.
PNG
PNG is the standard lossless format: perfect quality, full transparency support, and universal compatibility. Its weakness is size — photographs saved as PNG are often 5–10× heavier than a visually identical JPG or WebP.
What this conversion actually gives
Measured with the converter on this page, on a 800 × 600 px test image: the GIF file weighs 4.4 MB.
| Setting | Result | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Lossless (PNG ignores the quality slider) | 1.1 MB | −76 % |
The drop is dramatic: −76 %. Turning a GIF into a PNG is the right move whenever file size matters.
- An animated GIF loses its animation — the first frame is kept.
- PNG is lossless: not a single pixel is altered.
Your own files will differ — a photo full of detail compresses less well than a flat graphic. These figures come from one reproducible test image, not from an average.
Frequently asked questions
How big will my PNG file be?
On our 800 × 600 px test image, a GIF of 4.4 MB comes out at 1.1 MB at the default quality (−76 %). Lower the quality slider or set a maximum width and the figure drops further — the page shows the new size as soon as the file is reconverted.
What happens to animated GIFs?
The converter extracts the first frame as a still image. For converting a full animation to video, use a GIF-to-MP4 tool instead.
Will converting to PNG keep transparency and quality?
Yes. PNG is lossless, so no quality is lost, and it preserves transparent backgrounds — ideal for logos, screenshots and graphics with sharp edges. The trade-off is a larger file than JPG or WebP.
Are my files really private?
Yes. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using its built-in image engine. Your files are never uploaded, stored or seen by any server — you can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and keep converting.
Is this free? Is there a file limit?
Completely free, no account, no watermark. Convert as many files as you like, up to 200 MB each — the only limit is your device's memory.
Can I convert many files at once?
Yes — drop a whole batch at once. Each file converts independently and you can grab everything in a single ZIP when done.
