    Privacy and file handling

    File handling depends on the selected tool and format. For sensitive files, review the tool information before starting the operation.

    Keep the GIF’s transparency

    GIF supports simple transparency (a pixel is either fully transparent or fully opaque). PNG preserves this transparency, unlike JPG, making it the right choice for extracting a still image from a GIF with a transparent background (an icon, an animated logo). Convert GIF files to PNG online.

    A still image from an animation

    As with any conversion to a still image format, only one frame of the animated GIF is used to produce the PNG; the original animation isn’t kept. Choose a file, run the conversion, then check the result before downloading it. The result depends on what the GIF and PNG formats can preserve.

    A color rendering limited to the source GIF’s palette

    PNG can display far more than 256 colors, but the conversion can’t recreate colors that never existed in the source GIF: the rendering stays faithful to the original limited palette, simply in a lossless container. Choose a file, run the conversion, then check the result before downloading it.
