GIF output uses the first frame only (static GIF).
Why convert GIF to PNG?
GIF is lossless (legacy GIF workflows and simple palette graphics). PNG is lossless (graphics with sharp edges or transparency). Converting GIF to PNG remaps pixels into the target container in your browser. PNG can store transparency even if the GIF source did not.
What changes in the file
- Both formats are lossless; pixels stay bit-stable aside from color-space handling
- PNG can keep an alpha channel for later edits
- You can resize, adjust quality where relevant, and strip EXIF on export
- Conversion runs on this device — the file is not uploaded
How to convert GIF to PNG
- Drop one or more GIF files onto the converter (or pick them from disk).
- Confirm the output is set to PNG, then adjust quality, size, or metadata if needed.
- Download the converted PNG file — processing never left your browser.
About GIF
GIF is a palette-based raster format historically used for simple graphics and short animations. Formatly exports a static GIF from the first frame when converting.
About PNG
PNG is a lossless raster format with optional transparency. Pixels are preserved exactly, so it is the usual choice for screenshots, UI, logos, and any image that needs a clean alpha channel.
Common questions
Is this GIF to PNG converter free?
Yes. Formatly converts GIF to PNG in the browser at no charge and without an account.
Do you upload my GIF files?
No. Decoding and encoding run locally with browser APIs and WebAssembly codecs when needed. Files stay on this device.
Will converting GIF to PNG reduce quality?
PNG is lossless, so the export keeps the decoded pixels. If the source was already lossy (GIF), prior compression artifacts remain.
