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
Three steps, all running locally in your browser.
Drop your GIF files
One file or a whole batch. Nothing is uploaded, everything stays on your device.
Each file decodes then encodes
Status is shown per file as it moves from decoding to encoding to done. No quality slider appears, since PNG is lossless.
Download
One click for a single file, or all at once as one ZIP for a batch.
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.
Looking for a quality slider that isn't there
PNG is lossless, so there's nothing to trade against file size the way JPEG or WebP quality does. This tool runs an optimizing PNG encoder instead, which compresses without discarding pixel data. If a smaller file matters more than perfect losslessness, convert to WebP instead.
Assuming the first frame is the moment you actually wanted
Many GIFs use their first frame as a title card, transition frame, or blank moment before the main content begins. If frame one isn't representative, trim the GIF so your desired frame becomes the new first frame, or screenshot the specific moment you want.
Expecting a large multi-frame GIF to shrink dramatically as PNG
The PNG will usually be smaller than the source GIF simply because only one frame is kept instead of many, but a single detailed frame can still end up as a sizeable PNG on its own, since PNG doesn't compress photographic detail as efficiently as JPEG or WebP.
Converting a GIF that never had transparency and expecting a different result
If the source GIF has an opaque background, the PNG output will too. PNG preserves whatever transparency already existed, it doesn't add any that wasn't there.
Expecting a batch to download as separate files automatically
Files stay individual until you choose to download them that way, or click Download all to get everything bundled into one ZIP. There's no automatic bulk-download without that click.
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.
Yes. Drop several GIF files at once and each one decodes and encodes independently, with its own status shown in the file list. Once a batch finishes, download each file individually or click Download all to get every converted file in one ZIP.
PNG is a lossless format, so there's no quality dial to trade off against file size the way there is with JPEG or WebP. Instead of a quality setting, this tool runs the output through an optimizing PNG encoder that compresses the file as much as possible without discarding any pixel data. The image comes out pixel-for-pixel identical to the decoded GIF frame either way.
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.
No sign-up. No uploads. Drop your GIF above and download the still PNG in seconds.
