How to convert GIF to PNG
Turn a GIF into a PNG to get a still image you can edit, post or print. PNG keeps the colours exactly and supports soft, semi-transparent edges.
- Add your GIF images: drop them on the box above, or press Choose GIF images. Add as many as you like.
- PNG is already selected. It is lossless, so there is no quality to set.
- Each file converts straight away on your device. The list shows the size before and after.
- Press Download for one file, or Save all for a ZIP of them all (on a phone, Save all shares them so you can save to Photos).
GIF vs PNG

| Compression | Lossless but only 256 colours | Lossless: exact pixels, larger files |
| Opens in | Everywhere | Everywhere |
Good to know
- Animated GIFs convert their first frame only.
- Transparency is kept.
- The PNG may be a little smaller or bigger than the GIF, depending on the picture.
- Nothing is uploaded. Your images are read, converted and saved in this browser tab, and camera details and GPS location are not copied into the new file.

Yes. Add them all, then Save all downloads a ZIP.
