Why convert GIF to PNG?

A clean, lossless still image

GIF is limited to 256 colors and is really meant for short animations, not high-quality stills. Converting a GIF to PNG gives you a lossless image you can edit, layer, or place on a website without GIF's color banding. PNG also supports full transparency, so a logo or sticker saved as a GIF converts into a cleaner, more flexible asset.

Extracts the still frame

Because PNG is a static format, converting an animated GIF produces a single still image from the first frame rather than an animation. That is exactly what you want when you need a thumbnail, a poster image, or a frame to edit. Picovert converts in your browser with no upload. If you want to keep the animation small instead, convert the GIF to WebP or MP4.

GIF to PNG — FAQ

Why convert GIF to PNG?+

PNG is lossless and supports more colors and full transparency than GIF, so it is better for editing, thumbnails, and clean still graphics.

What happens to an animated GIF?+

PNG is a static format, so the converter produces a still image from the first frame rather than an animation.

Does it improve the colors?+

PNG removes GIF's 256-color limit so no further banding is added, but it cannot recover colors the GIF already reduced.

Is transparency preserved?+

Yes. PNG supports transparency, so transparent areas in the GIF carry over to the PNG.

Are my files uploaded?+

No. The conversion runs in your browser and your files never leave your device.

How do I keep the animation instead?+

Convert the GIF to animated WebP or to MP4 to keep motion while greatly reducing file size.
