What this converter does

Some older tools and messaging workflows still expect GIF. This converter creates a still GIF from your PNG graphics. GIF is limited to 256 colors and has more limited transparency than PNG. Gradients may posterize.

Use PNG to GIF when a destination specifically requires GIF input. Prefer PNG or WEBP for websites.

How to convert PNG to GIF

Upload your PNG file. Drop one or more PNG files into the upload area (max 200 MB each).
GIF color limits apply. GIF is remapped to a 256-color palette. There is no JPEG-style quality slider. Photographs often look posterized. This creates a still GIF, not an animation.
Convert to GIF. Press Convert to GIF. Processing runs in your browser — the file is not uploaded to ImgTask's server.
Download the result. Download the converted GIF file when it is ready. Conversion stayed on your device.

PNG to GIF is a compatibility export

Keep the PNG master. Use GIF only for the tool that will not open PNG.

Formats, limits, and privacy

Upload limit: 200 MB per image, up to 20 files at once. Images above about 100 megapixels may fail in the browser. Conversion re-encodes pixels and strips EXIF, GPS, XMP, ICC, and DPI metadata; orientation is applied visually first. GIF output is limited to 256 colors. Transparent pixels are flattened onto white.

Limitations: GIF is limited to 256 colors and has limited transparency compared with PNG. Complex gradients may posterize. Output is a still GIF. Transparent PNG pixels are flattened onto white in this encoder path.

Privacy: Your image is processed locally in your browser and is not uploaded to ImgTask's server. Image files never leave your device. No account is needed and results carry no watermark.

Frequently Asked Questions

This encoder flattens transparent pixels onto white. Do not rely on GIF transparency here.

GIF stores at most 256 colors. Smooth PNG gradients often posterize.

You can convert images up to 200 MB each, and up to 20 files at once. Very large pixel dimensions may still fail in the browser even when the file is under the upload limit.

Conversion runs in your browser. Your image is processed locally in your browser and is not uploaded to ImgTask's server. Image files never leave your device. If the browser cannot process the file, you will see an error and nothing is uploaded.

No. Conversion re-encodes pixels and strips EXIF, GPS, XMP, ICC, and DPI metadata. EXIF orientation is applied visually first so portrait photos stay upright. Live Photos, depth maps, and similar extras are not stored in the output.

No. This converter writes a still GIF from a single frame. It does not build frame-by-frame animation from TIFF pages or from animated WEBP/AVIF/GIF sources.
