How to convert GIF to PNG

  1. Add your GIF image above — it's read locally in your browser, never uploaded.
  2. The output is set to PNG; press convert to re-encode it.
  3. Download your PNG file. The image keeps its original dimensions; only the format changes.

About converting GIF to PNG

Converting GIF to PNG re-encodes the image in the PNG format using your browser's canvas, so you can switch formats without extra software.

Everything happens on your device — nothing is uploaded. If PNG has no transparency, any transparent areas are filled with white, and FileTinker warns you first.

Converting a GIF to PNG captures a single frame as a still image in a full-colour, widely supported file, free of the GIF's 256-colour palette. It is handy for editing one frame or grabbing a clean screenshot, and PNG keeps whatever transparency the GIF already had in a lossless format.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert GIF to PNG?

Drag your GIF image into the tool above and press Convert. FileTinker re-encodes it as PNG in your browser, then you download the result.

Will converting GIF to PNG reduce the quality?

Converting to PNG re-encodes the image. PNG is lossless, JPG and WebP use light compression to keep files small; FileTinker uses a high-quality setting so the difference is hard to see.

What happens to transparency when I convert to PNG?

JPG has no transparency, so any transparent areas are filled with white. PNG and WebP keep transparency intact.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser — your image never leaves your device and nothing is stored on a server.

Does converting a GIF to PNG keep the animation?

No. PNG is a single still image, so the conversion saves just one frame rather than the moving sequence. If your GIF was animated, only that captured frame is preserved in the resulting PNG.
