Animated GIFs: only the first frame is converted.
A GIF is often a short animation, but sometimes you just want a single still from it. Converting to PNG takes the first frame and saves it losslessly, keeping any transparency that frame has — the right choice when you want the sharpest possible still, like a logo or a clean grab.
Note:for animated GIFs, only the first frame is converted. The animation isn't kept, because PNG is a still-image format.
When to convert GIF to PNG
- You want to pull a still image out of a GIF.
- You need lossless quality or transparency in that frame.
- You're turning an animated logo into a static one.
GIFs and color
A GIF can only hold 256 colors, often using a dithered pattern to fake more. PNG is lossless, so it copies that palette and dithering exactly — no new artifacts are introduced. It also means a static GIF, which compresses poorly as a single frame, usually comes out smaller as a PNG.

Frequently asked questions
- Will the PNG look different from the GIF frame?
- No. PNG is lossless, so the first frame is copied pixel for pixel — the same 256-color palette and dithering, with nothing added or lost.
- What happens to the animation?
- It isn't kept — PNG is a still image, so you get the GIF's first frame only.
- Does it keep transparency?
- Yes. PNG preserves any transparency in that first frame.
- Can I choose which frame is used?
- Currently the first frame is used. For a still from a specific moment, trim the GIF to start there first.
