Convert GIF to PNG.
Turn a GIF into a lossless PNG in your browser. Transparency is kept, and nothing is uploaded.
Why PNG replaced GIF for still images
PNG was created as a better GIF. It is lossless like GIF but not limited to 256 colours, and it supports smooth, partial transparency instead of GIF's on or off transparency. Design apps, slide decks and editors all prefer it.
Good for editing
Because PNG is lossless, you can edit and save the image again without each save adding compression damage. That makes it the right working copy for a logo, an icon or a diagram that started life as a GIF.
About file size
A PNG of a GIF can be a little larger or smaller depending on the image. Flat graphics usually stay compact. If you need the smallest file for the web, try WebP.

Runs in your browser. Your file never uploads
Lossless PNG, every pixel kept
Transparency preserved
No watermark, no signup
Instant, no queue
GIF to PNG: lossless
PNG stores every pixel exactly (lossless) and keeps transparency, so there's no added quality loss. The trade-off is a larger file than a lossy format like JPG, great for graphics, screenshots and further editing, less so for photos you want kept small.
Common questions
Is it free?+
Yes. Convert GIF to PNG free, with no signup, no watermark and no daily cap, because the conversion runs in your browser.
Is my file private?+
This conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your file never uploads to a server.
What happens to an animated GIF?+
PNG here is a still image, so you get a single frame, normally the first. Convert the GIF to MP4 or WebM if you need the animation.
Will it lose quality?+
No. PNG is lossless, so the output is an exact copy of the decoded GIF frame, including transparent areas.
