About this converter

GIF is an old format with a 256-color limit. If you need a higher-quality static image, PNG is the better choice: it supports millions of colors, lossless compression, and transparency with full alpha channel (not just the binary on/off transparency GIF offers). This converter draws the first frame of your GIF onto an HTML Canvas element and exports it as PNG. For animated GIFs, only the first frame is captured. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your file is never uploaded.
