About GIF to PNG Converter
A GIF is limited to a 256-colour palette and one bit of transparency — a pixel is either fully visible or fully gone. PNG lifts both limits, storing millions of colours and smooth 8-bit alpha. Converting will not invent colour that the GIF never held, but it does give you a lossless, modern, universally editable file, which is what most tools and CMS media libraries expect these days.
Add up to 15 GIF files (5MB each) and click Convert; PNG is already the output format. If a GIF is animated, the first visible frame is what gets exported. Save each PNG individually or download the batch as a ZIP.
Animation does not survive — you get a single still frame, not an APNG. If you need the motion, you need a different kind of tool entirely. What you do keep is the transparency: GIF's cut-out background carries across cleanly into PNG's alpha channel, which is the main reason to choose PNG here over JPG. Do not expect the image to look better than the GIF did; the palette reduction and any dithering pattern are already baked into the pixels and copy across exactly as they are.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my animated GIF stay animated as a PNG?
No. PNG is a still-image format, so only the first/visible frame of an animated GIF is converted — this tool doesn't produce animated PNG (APNG).
Why does PNG look better than the original GIF?
GIF is limited to a 256-color indexed palette, while PNG here is saved in full 24-bit color with an alpha channel, so gradients and photographic detail render without the banding GIF's palette can cause.
Does PNG preserve GIF transparency?
Yes, and it improves on it — GIF only supports fully on/off transparency, while the PNG output supports smooth partial transparency if the frame had any.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Conversion runs locally in your browser.
