GIFs are limited to 256 colours and big files. Converting to PNG fixes that: pixel-perfect — no quality loss.
Drop one GIF or a hundred — they’re converted inside your browser, so even private photos are never uploaded anywhere.

Good to know before converting GIF to PNG
- PNG is a still image format, so an animated GIF becomes its first frame.
- Hidden data like GPS location and camera details is left out of the converted file.
What is GIF?
GIF is the classic animated image format. It only has 256 colours, so photos look grainy and files get big. Converting a GIF gives you the first frame as a normal still image.
What is PNG?
PNG keeps every pixel exactly as it is and supports transparent backgrounds. That makes it perfect for logos, screenshots and cut-outs — but photos saved as PNG are often 5–10× bigger than the same photo as JPG.
How to convert GIF to PNG
- Drop your GIF files (or paste with Ctrl+V).
- PNG is already selected — adjust quality if you like.
- Download one by one or all as a ZIP.
Frequently asked questions
Does converting GIF to PNG reduce quality?
No — PNG is lossless, so the result keeps every pixel of your GIF.
Can I convert many GIF files at once?
Yes — drop as many as you like and download them all as one ZIP.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens inside your browser on your own device. Your images are never uploaded, stored or seen by anyone — check your browser's Network tab, or turn on airplane mode after the page loads and see that it still works.
Is it really free?
Yes. No sign-up, no watermark, no daily limits and no paid “HD” downloads.
Do downloads still contain my location?
No. Every file you download is saved without hidden metadata like GPS location, camera serial number or owner name.
