Animated & static GIFs — Frame extraction supported
Convert GIF to PNG
frame by frame

Powerful features built for speed
Everything you need to convert GIF to PNG — fast, private, and completely free.
Frame Extraction

Transparency Preserved
GIF transparency is converted to PNG's alpha channel, maintaining transparent pixels with better edge quality and full 8-bit transparency.
100% Browser-Based
All conversion happens locally in your browser. Your GIF files never get uploaded to any server — complete privacy guaranteed.
Lossless Quality
PNG is a lossless format, so every pixel from your GIF is preserved exactly. No compression artifacts, no quality loss.
No File Size Limits
Convert GIF files of any size and extract as many frames as needed. No artificial caps or daily conversion limits.
No Watermarks
Your converted PNG files are clean and unmodified. No logos, no branding, no quality degradation.
Why choose our GIF to PNG converter
Real advantages that make a difference in your daily workflow.
Individual Frame Access
Animated GIFs are hard to edit frame-by-frame. Converting to PNG gives you individual image files for each frame, ready for editing.
Better Color Depth
GIF is limited to 256 colors. PNG supports full 24-bit color, so you can enhance and edit frames without color limitations.
Full Transparency
GIF only supports 1-bit transparency (on/off). PNG supports 8-bit alpha transparency for smooth, anti-aliased transparent edges.
Universal Format
PNG is supported everywhere — every browser, image editor, and operating system. Use your extracted frames in any tool or platform.

Get the best conversion results
Follow these expert tips to maximize quality and efficiency when converting GIF to PNG.
Check frame count
Before converting, check how many frames your animated GIF contains. Complex animations can produce dozens or hundreds of PNG files.
Use for sprite sheets
Extracted PNG frames can be combined into CSS sprite sheets for efficient web animation, replacing the original GIF entirely.
Edit then re-encode
Extract frames, edit them in your preferred tool, then re-encode as a new animation using a video format like WebP or MP4 for smaller size.
Preserve transparency
If your GIF has transparent regions, the PNG output will preserve them with full alpha channel support — better than GIF's 1-bit transparency.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about converting GIF to PNG.
Can I extract individual frames from an animated GIF?
Yes. When you convert an animated GIF to PNG, each frame is extracted as a separate PNG image file. You can download individual frames or all frames at once. This is perfect for editing, analyzing, or repurposing animation frames.
Does GIF to PNG preserve transparency?
Yes. GIF supports 1-bit transparency (a pixel is either fully transparent or fully opaque). When converted to PNG, this transparency is preserved and upgraded to PNG's 8-bit alpha channel, which can represent partial transparency for smoother edges.
Is my GIF uploaded to a server?
No. Convertly processes GIF to PNG conversion entirely in your browser using JavaScript and the Canvas API. Your file never leaves your device, is never uploaded to any server, and is never stored. Complete privacy is guaranteed.
How many PNG files will I get from an animated GIF?
You will get one PNG file per frame in the animated GIF. For example, a GIF with 30 frames will produce 30 individual PNG files. You can download all of them or select specific frames to download.
Is GIF to PNG conversion lossless?
Yes. PNG is a lossless format, and GIF frames are stored as lossless pixel data. Every pixel from each GIF frame is preserved exactly in the PNG output. No compression artifacts or quality loss occurs during conversion.
Is this GIF to PNG converter free?
Yes, completely free with no limits. No daily conversion caps, no file size restrictions, no watermarks, no signup, and no premium tiers. Convertly is supported by ads and optional donations.
Can I convert static (non-animated) GIFs too?
Yes. Static GIFs are simply single-frame images. Converting a static GIF to PNG produces one high-quality PNG file with improved color depth and transparency support. The process is identical — just with a single output file.
Does it work on mobile devices?
Yes. The GIF to PNG converter works on all devices — desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile. It is fully responsive and optimized for screens as small as 358px wide. No app installation required.
