A free tool to convert a GIF to a PNG image, right in your browser. PNG is lossless, keeps transparency, and is easy to edit, which makes it a good target when you need a still image from a GIF. For an animated GIF, this tool converts the first frame to a still PNG. Everything runs locally on your device, with no upload to a server.

How the conversion works

The tool loads the GIF and draws it onto a canvas, then encodes a lossless PNG. A GIF is drawn as a single still image, so for an animated GIF the first frame is captured and the animation is not kept.

06

Supported formats and browser compatibility

Input is a standard GIF, animated or static. PNG output is supported in every browser and image app. The PNG keeps the transparency a GIF can have, though GIF transparency is a single on or off level rather than smooth alpha.

07

Limitations and quality notes

Only the first frame of an animated GIF is converted, because PNG is a still format. GIFs are limited to 256 colors, so the PNG cannot contain more color than the source. Files up to 30MB are supported.

08

Privacy and local processing

The GIF is processed in your browser and never uploaded or saved. Nothing about the image is sent to a server, so it stays private on your device.

09
