About GIF To PNG Converter Online

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) uses lossless LZW compression for a palette of up to 256 colors. It is the classic format for simple animations and graphics with flat colors. For photographic content, its 256-color palette causes visible banding.

Converting to PNG is the right choice when you need a lossless image with transparency — for logos, overlays, screenshots, and design assets that must not show compression artefacts or lose sharp edges.

This tool converts your GIF images to PNG directly in the browser. Upload your file, choose a quality preset if available, and download the converted result instantly.

How to use this tool

How to convert GIF to PNG

  1. Upload your GIF file

    Click the upload area or drag a GIF image. Files are read locally before conversion.

  2. Convert

    Press the Convert button. Sharp decodes the GIF and outputs a lossless PNG. No quality setting is exposed — PNG compression is always lossless.

  3. Download the PNG

    Click Download to save the .png file. PNG preserves every pixel exactly, including any transparency from the source.

  4. When to use PNG

    PNG is ideal for screenshots, logos, diagrams, and any image where sharpness and transparent backgrounds matter. It produces larger files than JPEG for photos, so use JPEG or WebP there instead.
