If your GIF is animated, only the first frame is converted. The output is always a single still image, never an animation.

Supports .gif, all processing stays in your browser
PNG is the right choice whenever the still frame needs to stay lossless, or when the GIF contains transparency.
Logos and icons saved as GIF
Older logos and icons are sometimes saved as GIF with transparency. PNG preserves that transparency exactly.
Diagrams and text-heavy GIFs
Text and line art stay crisper in PNG than in JPEG, which can introduce blur around sharp edges.
Still frames for further editing
Keeping a lossless PNG avoids compounding quality loss across multiple edit and re-save cycles.
Replacing legacy GIF graphics
Many old websites used GIF for simple graphics before PNG became common. Convert to modernize these assets.
No. PNG cannot store animation either, so this tool always extracts the first frame of your GIF and saves it as a single still image. If your GIF is animated, every frame after the first is discarded. This matches how PNG works as a format, not a limitation specific to this tool.
PNG is lossless and supports transparency, both properties that GIF also has. Converting a GIF still frame to PNG preserves any transparent areas exactly, unlike JPEG which would fill transparency with a solid background. PNG is the right choice when your GIF contains a logo, icon or graphic with transparent edges.
Often yes, since the original GIF may contain many frames of animation data, while the PNG output contains only the single first frame. A multi-frame animated GIF converted to a one-frame PNG is typically significantly smaller, simply because there is far less data to store.
No. Both the decoding and the PNG encoding happen entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your device at any point during the conversion.
