About GIF to PNG

GIF to PNG covers two needs. For a still picture, such as a thumbnail, a sticker to edit or a frame for a document, keep First frame only and you get a clean PNG of the opening frame. For editing or studying an animation, choose Every frame (ZIP) and each frame arrives as its own PNG.

Frames are numbered in playing order, so dance.gif gives you dance_001.png, dance_002.png and so on, packed into dance_frames.zip. Transparent areas stay transparent, and because PNG is lossless, the GIF's colors come through untouched. A still GIF simply becomes one PNG. More conversions for GIF and other formats are listed in Image Converter.

FAQ

GIF to PNG: questions and answers

How do I get every frame out of a GIF?
Choose Every frame (ZIP) under Frames before you start. You'll get a ZIP with one numbered PNG per frame.
Does GIF to PNG keep transparency?
Yes. Transparent pixels in the GIF remain transparent in the PNG files. Stickers saved as WebP keep their transparency too when converted with WebP to PNG.
Will GIF to PNG improve the colors?
No. A GIF holds at most 256 colors per frame, and the PNG keeps exactly those. It just won't lose anything further.
