GIF to PNG Converter

Create a still PNG preview from a GIF. For animated inputs, choose Export first frame yourself; this workflow does not save the full animation. For an animated GIF, choose Export first frame to create one still image. Later frames and animation timing are omitted. A single-frame GIF needs no frame selection. This page supports ordinary unprofiled unsigned 8-bit GIF images. Unparsed embedded ICC profiles and unsupported GIF variants are outside this page's scope.

GIF to PNG converter

PNG output is preset. For an animated GIF, choose Export first frame to create one still image. Later frames and animation timing are omitted. A single-frame GIF needs no frame selection. PNG can represent transparency. Leave Flatten transparency unchecked to keep the alpha channel, or explicitly choose flattening and a background. Complete metadata/profile preservation and restoration of original GIF detail are not promised. This advertised still-image workflow does not promise animation retention or a frame-number picker. Review the choices, then Add task and Run. No task is created automatically.

GIF to PNG questions

What is saved in the PNG?

One still image from the first GIF frame. For animated input, explicitly choose first-frame export; a single-frame GIF already contains only one frame. This page supports ordinary unprofiled unsigned 8-bit GIF images. Unparsed embedded ICC profiles and unsupported GIF variants are outside this page's scope.

Will the output keep the animation?

This page describes a still-image workflow: select Export first frame to omit the other frames and timing. It does not promise animation retention. Use GIF Frame Extraction for all frame images in a ZIP.

Can I choose a different frame?

This converter offers first-frame export, not a frame-number picker. To work with another frame, extract the GIF frame images with the GIF Frame Extraction tool.

Can the PNG retain transparent areas?

PNG supports transparency. Review the source and resulting image; selecting Flatten transparency instead composites transparent areas against your chosen background.

Does conversion improve the original GIF detail?

No. Changing the file format cannot recreate detail or colors that the source GIF does not contain.

How to convert GIF to PNG

1. Choose your GIF image Upload a supported GIF and review its inspected image information. This page supports ordinary unprofiled unsigned 8-bit GIF images. Unparsed embedded ICC profiles and unsupported GIF variants are outside this page's scope.

2. Review image selection For an animated GIF, choose Export first frame to create one still image. Later frames and animation timing are omitted. A single-frame GIF needs no frame selection.

3. Review PNG choices Keep PNG as the target and review transparency, color and metadata choices. PNG can represent transparency. Leave Flatten transparency unchecked to keep the alpha channel, or explicitly choose flattening and a background. Complete metadata/profile preservation and restoration of original GIF detail are not promised.

4. Add the task, convert and download Choose Add output task, then Run. Download and review the resulting still image.
