GIF to PNG
Move logos, icons and old web graphics from GIF to PNG, with sharp edges and transparency intact.
GIF to PNG for logos and old web graphics
If you're refreshing an older website or digging through old assets, you've probably found lots of GIF logos, buttons and icons. PNG is the natural successor for these. This GIF to PNG converter keeps every pixel and any transparency, and it gives you a format that's easier to edit and that design tools handle better.
Animated GIFs work too. You get the first frame as a still PNG.
How to convert GIF to PNG
The whole process runs in your browser and only takes a moment.
- 1
Choose your GIF
Old logos, buttons and icons are typical candidates. Add one, or a set of up to 20.
- 2
Press Convert to PNG
It's lossless, so nothing needs setting. For animated files, the first frame is what you'll get.

Save the PNG
Download the file, and use it in your editor, documents or website.
Why PNG is the better home for GIF graphics
| GIF | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Colors | Up to 256 | Up to millions |
| Transparency | On or off per pixel | Smooth, with soft edges |
| Compression for stills | Older method | Usually better |
| Editing | Limited by the palette | Add colors freely |
| Animation | Yes | Not in this tool's output |
Because a PNG isn't limited to a palette, you can recolor it, add shadows or blend it with other artwork without running out of colors.
Using your PNG
- Clean up jagged edges. GIF transparency has hard edges, so curves can look stair-stepped. Open the PNG in an editor to smooth them if you need to.
- Avoid scaling it up. Old web graphics tend to be small. If you have a high-resolution logo somewhere, start with that instead.
- Prepare it for the web. Use PNG to WEBP when you need a smaller file, or Compress Image to keep it as a lighter PNG.
- Make a favicon. A small square PNG is perfect for PNG to ICO.
When to pick a different format
If your GIF is a photo and you just want a shareable still, GIF to JPG gives you a format that every photo app and form accepts. For a modern website, GIF to WEBP keeps transparency at a very small size.
Private and free
Your GIF stays on your own device. There's no account or watermark, and no limit on how many you can convert.
