Convert PNG to GIF

Convert PNG to GIF on your device, not our servers. GIF supports animation and simple transparency for stickers and icons. The GIF file is ready to download the moment it finishes.

Why convert PNG to GIF?

Switching to GIF helps when your apps, printers, or teammates expect that format. You keep control of quality while matching the workflow you need.

Benefits of GIF

  • Clearer workflow: Output matches tools and platforms that prefer GIF.
  • Predictable quality: Choose GIF when its strengths match photos, graphics, or transparency needs.
  • Easier sharing: Fewer “unsupported format” errors for your recipients.
  • Batch-friendly: Convert multiple PNG files without leaving your browser.

PNG vs GIF

Both formats are useful; the right choice depends on editing tools, file size, and where files will be used.

About PNG

Typical traits of PNG files include:

  • Best when it matches how the source was captured or exported
  • May trade off file size, transparency, or compatibility depending on the codec
  • Ideal to keep as a source format until you know the final target

About GIF

Typical traits of GIF files include:

  • Often chosen for delivery, publishing, or compatibility
  • May change file size or supported features versus the source
  • Works well when your destination apps explicitly support GIF

How conversion works

Our PNG to GIF converter keeps the original dimensions and colour.

Steps

  • Upload your PNG files.
  • We decode PNG and re-encode it as GIF.
  • Download the converted images.

Practical tips

  • Keep originals when you may need to re-export with different settings.
  • For photos vs UI graphics, pick the format that matches transparency and size needs.
  • Large batches may take longer—stay on the page until finished.

PNG to GIF converter — frequently asked questions

Is this PNG to GIF converter free to use?

Yes. Converting a single PNG image to GIF is completely free with no watermark. Batch conversion of many PNG files at once is a Pro feature, but one-at-a-time PNG to GIF conversions stay free forever, no matter how often you use them.

Are my PNG files uploaded to a server?

No. Every PNG to GIF conversion happens in one pass, with the original dimensions and colour preserved, so sensitive photos, screenshots, and design files come out exactly as you sent them in.

Will converting PNG to GIF reduce the image quality?

It depends on the target. GIF can compress differently than PNG, so images may look slightly different at very low quality settings. For most pictures the change is invisible, and you can always keep your original PNG file and re-export later if you need a different balance. GIF supports animation and simple transparency for stickers and icons.

Can I convert several PNG images to GIF at once?

Yes. Batch conversion lets you drop many PNG files together and download them all as GIF, which is a Pro feature. Free users convert one image at a time — perfect for quick one-off PNG to GIF conversions with no limit on how often you use the tool.

Does converting PNG to GIF keep transparency?

Transparency is preserved when both formats support it, such as PNG, WebP, GIF, and AVIF, which all keep an alpha channel. Converting a transparent image to a format without transparency like JPEG fills the background with a solid color, so choose the GIF target that matches your needs.

Which browsers and devices support the PNG to GIF converter?

Any modern device works, on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iPhone. There is nothing to install — just open the page and drop in your PNG files.
