GIF to PNG Converter, Free and In Your Browser

Need a still PNG from an animated GIF? This converter exports the first frame only at full resolution.

Upload below when a slide deck or doc needs a lossless still instead of a looping GIF.

Format notes

When to use this output

Choose GIF to PNG when you need a lossless still from an animated GIF for docs, thumbnails, or sprite sheets. Frame one lands as a full-color PNG.

Transparency

GIF transparency maps to PNG alpha on the first frame. Flattening is not required unless you later convert PNG to JPG.

Quality

PNG is lossless for that frame. Palette dithering from the GIF remains; PNG does not invent new detail.

File size

One PNG frame is often smaller than a long animated GIF, but larger than a lossy JPG of the same frame.

FAQ

Is every frame exported?

No. Only the first frame becomes PNG. Split GIFs elsewhere for sprite strips.

Good for meme screenshots?

Yes for a single punchline frame. For sharing motion, keep the GIF format.

Metadata from the GIF?

Output PNG is a fresh bitmap without GIF comment blocks or loop counts.
