GIF to PNG Converter

How to convert GIF to PNG

Three steps. Drop the .gif to png in, pick first frame or all frames, download. A 60-frame animation finished in under a second on the test machine, and the file never travels anywhere.

1. 1.Drop one GIF onto the tool

   Drop a single GIF onto the tool above, or paste a direct image link. The file is decoded on your device and is never uploaded.

2. 2.Keep First frame or switch to All frames

   First frame is selected by default and gives you one PNG. Switch to All frames to export every frame as numbered PNGs in one zip.

3. 3.Convert and download

   Press Convert to PNG, then download the single PNG or the numbered zip from the results card. Frame count, dimensions, and output size are listed there.

First frame or every frame

First frame is the default because that is what most people want: a still thumbnail, a poster image, a starting point for an edit. All frames turns the same gif into png files named frame-001.png onward, in playback order, packed as one zip. That is a PNG sequence, and video editors accept it as footage.

There is a technical step behind that promise. Most GIFs are optimized, meaning later frames store only the pixels that changed. Export those raw and you get broken slivers on a transparent field. This tool rebuilds every frame into a full image before writing the PNG, so a gif to png sequence looks like the animation did, frame for frame.

• First frame: one PNG, named after the source file.
• All frames: numbered PNGs in a single zip, playback order preserved.
• Frame count, dimensions, and output size are shown before you download.

To eyeball each frame and pick exact ones from a visual grid instead, use the GIF Splitter.

Transparency and file size, honestly

Transparency carries over cleanly. GIF marks pixels transparent on an on/off basis, and those exact pixels stay transparent in the PNG — no checkerboard, no white box, no halo added. PNG supports 256 levels of alpha, far more than the GIF recorded, so converting an animated gif to png can only preserve what was there.

Size moves in both directions, which surprises people. PNG is lossless and stores one complete image, so a photographic frame can weigh more as a PNG than it did inside the GIF: row 2 of the measured table shows a 78 KB PNG from a frame that occupied about 60 KB. Row 1 shows the opposite — a simple graphic frame from a 300 KB GIF came out at 2 KB.

Stickers, naming, and pronunciation

Turning a gif to image assets for chat apps is a one-frame job. Export the frame that reads best on its own, crop it tight to the subject, and check the cap before uploading: Discord caps emoji at 256 KB and stickers at 512 KB. A flat graphic frame lands at a few kilobytes, well inside both limits.

Naming matters once you have more than three files. Single exports keep the source file name, and batch exports use frame-001.png onward so sorting by name matches playback order in every operating system. Rename the folder, not the files, if you plan to import the gif to pictures as a sequence later.

And for anyone who searched jiff to png: same format, either pronunciation works, the tool is not listening.

GIF to PNG: measured

Real runs of this tool at default settings, measured on August 15, 2026. Two single-frame exports and one full-sequence export, with the output size and the time each took.

The gap between rows 1 and 2 is the whole story: a simple frame becomes a 2 KB PNG, while a photographic frame of similar dimensions becomes a 78 KB PNG.
