Does GIF to PNG preserve transparency?

Yes! If your original GIF has a transparent background, the converted PNG will also be transparent.

Does converting GIF to PNG improve quality?

It can't add detail that isn't there, but PNG is a better format for future editing. It supports millions of colors (vs GIF's 256), so if you edit the image later, you won't lose further quality.

What happens to the animation?

PNG is a static image format. When you convert an animated GIF to PNG, our tool extracts the first frame of the animation and saves it as a high-quality static PNG image.

Lossless GIF to Static Image Conversion

GIFs are great for motion but limited in quality (only 256 colors). PNGs are the gold standard for lossless static images, supporting millions of colors and advanced transparency.

Use this tool to convert a static GIF to PNG for better editing compatibility, or to extract a high-quality static frame from an animated GIF while keeping the background transparent.
