Frequently Asked Questions

Will the animation be preserved when converting GIF to PNG?

No, PNG doesn't support animation. When converting an animated GIF to PNG, only one frame (typically the first one) will be extracted. If you need to preserve the animation, you should keep the original GIF file.

Will the PNG file look better than the original GIF?

Often yes. PNG supports millions of colors compared to GIF's 256 color limit, so if your GIF was limited by color constraints, the PNG version might look better. PNG also offers better transparency options.

Is there a file size limit for conversion?

Yes, you can upload files up to 100MB each. If you have larger files, you might need to resize them first.

How long do you keep my uploaded files?

For your privacy and security, all uploaded and converted files are automatically deleted from our servers after 1 hour.

Can I choose which frame of the GIF to convert?

Our standard converter extracts the first frame by default. If you need to select a specific frame from an animated GIF, try our advanced options which allow you to choose specific frames for conversion.
