Is transparency preserved?

Yes. Transparent areas in the GIF are preserved in the PNG output.

What happens to animation?

Only the first frame is converted.

Why does the converter only export the first frame?

A single PNG is not animated, so only one GIF frame can be represented. This converter always exports frame zero — the first frame of the animation — and preserves the source's palette transparency as PNG alpha.

Convert GIF to PNG: Extract Frame Zero, Preserve Transparency

GIF is a multi-frame animation format — this converter extracts the first frame and writes a PNG that preserves the source's transparent palette entries as true alpha, not a matte color. Free, processed in your browser.

100% free and unlimited, with no sign-up, no watermarks, and no 5-file paywall. Files are processed locally in your browser and never leave your device.

When to use GIF to PNG

GIF to PNG helps with website uploads, email attachments, social media assets, marketplace product photos, profile images, screenshots, and design handoffs where the receiving app expects a specific image format or size.

Privacy, limits, and output quality

The file work happens in your browser. Your file is not uploaded to FilesFlow servers, which keeps private documents faster to process and easier to control.

For best results, keep the original image, convert from the highest-quality source you have, and review transparency, sharp edges, and file size before sharing. Converting a low-quality image to another format cannot restore detail that was already lost.

How Image Tools work stays simple

Use this tool when you need a fast format or size fix in the browser. For advanced retouching, layered edits, color-managed print work, or manual background cleanup, finish the file in an image editor.

GIF to PNG for real workflows

GIF to PNG helps prepare photos, screenshots, product images, icons, blog graphics, and design assets for the format or size another app expects.
Use it before website uploads, email attachments, marketplace listings, social previews, and quick image handoffs.
It is a practical option when compatibility matters more than manual image editing.

Checklist before using GIF to PNG

Start with the best source image you have.
Review sharpness, transparency, colors, and file size after processing.
Keep the original file if you may need a higher-quality export later.

GIF to PNG vs heavier alternatives

GIF to PNG is made for quick browser-based image work. Use a dedicated image editor when you need layers, masking, retouching, manual cropping, or print color controls.
