Frequently Asked Questions

Will animated GIFs remain animated?

No. PNG is a static image format and does not support animation. Our converter extracts the first frame of animated GIFs and converts it to a static PNG image. For animated formats, consider WEBP or APNG.

What happens to GIF transparency?

PNG preserves GIF transparency perfectly. If your GIF has a transparent background, it will remain transparent in the PNG file. PNG actually provides better transparency support than GIF.

Can I convert GIFs with text or graphics?

Yes, absolutely. Our converter handles all types of GIFs - text overlays, graphics, photographs, and logos. The quality remains excellent regardless of content type.

What file size limits exist?

Our converter can handle GIFs up to 50MB. For larger files, consider compressing them first or breaking them into smaller pieces.

Is the conversion process secure?

Yes, all conversions happen entirely in your browser. Your GIF files are never uploaded to any server. Your privacy is completely protected.

Which GIF types are supported?

We support all GIF types: static GIFs, animated GIFs, GIFs with transparency, and interlaced GIFs. All convert successfully to high-quality PNG files.
