Can I turn a GIF into a video instead?

Yes — GIF to MP4 produces a far smaller file that plays everywhere.

Why do exported frames look partial?

Some GIFs store only the changed region per frame. This tool composites frames onto the previous state so each PNG is a complete image.

Is GIF transparency kept?

Yes. GIF’s 1-bit transparency maps to PNG alpha.

Why convert GIF to PNG

Still images are often distributed as GIF for historical reasons; PNG holds the same pixels with proper 8-bit transparency and no palette limits, and every modern tool prefers it.

For animated GIFs, exporting frames lets you grab a single moment as a sharp image or rebuild the animation in a video editor. Frames are composited correctly, taking disposal methods into account.

How it works

Drop GIF file onto the box above, click it to browse, or paste from the clipboard.
Adjust the options if you need to — the defaults suit most cases.
Press Convert. The work happens on your device, so speed depends on your computer or phone.
Download the PNG — individually or all at once.

About the formats

GIF · Graphics Interchange Format · .gif

A 1987 format limited to 256 colours per frame, still everywhere because it is the only animated image format every app can play.

GIF transparency is all-or-nothing: a pixel is either fully opaque or fully transparent.
Animated GIFs are large — a 10-second clip can be bigger than the same clip as MP4.
The 256-colour palette causes banding in photos; PNG or WebP is better for still images.

PNG · Portable Network Graphics · .png

Lossless image format with transparency, ideal for screenshots, logos, icons and graphics with sharp edges or text.

PNG is lossless: every pixel is preserved, which is why photos saved as PNG are 5–10× larger than JPG.
Supports an 8-bit alpha channel, so edges can be partially transparent.
Most browsers and apps have supported PNG since the late 1990s.
