GIF to PNG Converter — Get High-Quality PNGs from GIF Frames (2025)

What is a converter from GIF to PNG?

A GIF to PNG Converter is a free, web-based program that takes out individual frames or the whole animation from a GIF and turns them into clear, high-quality PNG pictures with complete alpha transparency, truecolor support (16.7 million colors), and no loss of quality. PNG is better than GIF because it has a wider range of colors (256) and smoother edges. It also has more detail and looks more professional, making it perfect for designers, developers, and content creators.

You don’t have to upload anything, worry about privacy, or sign up for anything. All processing happens in your browser.

How to Convert GIFs to PNGs

Put Your GIF Up

You may browse by dragging and dropping or clicking (animated and static GIFs up to 20 MB are supported).

Use arrows or small pictures to look through frames.
Look at the frame counter (for example, “Frame 5 of 24”)
Pick one of these: Single Frame, Selected Frame, or All Frames.

Choose a Quality Setting:

🖼️ High Quality: Best PNG compression (larger file, max fidelity)
