How to use the GIF to PNG converter

  1. Add GIF files

    Choose or drag up to 30 GIFs. You'll see each one's size and whether it is animated.

  2. Choose the frames

    First frame gives one PNG per GIF. Every frame gives a ZIP of PNGs for each animation.

  3. Convert to PNG

    Press the convert button. There is no quality setting because PNG is lossless.

  4. Save the results

    Download single PNGs or ZIPs one by one, or everything together in one ZIP.

What is a GIF to PNG converter?

PNG is the natural upgrade from GIF for still images: it is lossless like GIF, it keeps transparency, and it isn't limited to 256 colours, so editing the picture later won't band. This tool turns each GIF into a PNG pixel for pixel, with see-through areas left see-through.

For animations, choose "Every frame" to split the GIF into a numbered PNG sequence, one ZIP per GIF. Each frame is composited the way the animation plays, including frames that only redraw a small area, so the PNGs are full pictures you can drop into an editor, a sprite sheet or a video tool.

What to expect: a PNG of a GIF frame is usually somewhat larger than the GIF, because PNG stores every frame in full while GIF can reuse the previous one. Frame timing isn't kept, since PNGs are still images, and GIFs longer than 500 frames are cut at 500.

Why use a GIF to PNG converter?

Designers and developers need individual frames to edit an animation, build a sprite sheet or reuse a sticker on a transparent background. PNG keeps the exact pixels and the transparency, so nothing is lost between tools.

GIF to PNG converter: frequently asked questions

Something else? Ask the team

Does converting GIF to PNG keep transparency?

Yes. Pixels that are transparent in the GIF stay fully transparent in the PNG, so the image still sits cleanly on any background.

How do I split a GIF into frames?

Add the GIF, select Every frame and convert. The ZIP contains name-frame-001.png, name-frame-002.png and so on, in playing order.

Why is the PNG bigger than the GIF?

GIF animations often store only the changed part of each frame, and GIF's 256-colour palette packs tightly. PNG stores the whole picture losslessly, so it is often a bit larger. Quality is identical.

Is any quality lost?

No. PNG is lossless, so each frame is saved exactly as the GIF displays it.

Can I turn the PNG frames back into an animation?

Not with this tool; it only splits. Most video editors and GIF makers can import a numbered PNG sequence.

Are my files private?

Yes. Your browser does all the work and the GIFs never leave your device. Only the run itself is counted on our server.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes, in any modern mobile browser. Long animations take longer on phones, and the progress bar shows which frame is being saved.

Is it free?

1 free run per tool per day. After that a run costs 5 credits with a free account, however many GIFs you add (up to 30).
