When to convert GIF to PNG
Only the first frame is upscaled. Animated GIFs come out as a still image.
PNG is lossless, so later edits and re-saves never add artefacts, and it keeps transparent backgrounds.

- Only the first frame of an animated GIF is converted. The PNG is a still image.
- Transparent areas are kept, because PNG supports an alpha channel.
- Colour profiles are read on decode and the output is written in sRGB, the colour space every screen and browser expects.

Questions
Is converting GIF to PNG free?
Yes. Conversion runs in your browser on every plan, with no account, no watermark and batches of up to 200 files.
Are my GIF files uploaded?
No. The browser decodes each file and encodes the new one on your device. Nothing is sent to a server.
Does converting GIF to PNG lose quality?
No further loss: PNG stores every pixel exactly. It cannot bring back detail an earlier lossy save removed, and the file is often larger than the original.
Can I make the PNG bigger at the same time?
Converting keeps the pixel size. To enlarge, run the upscaler afterwards: 2× is free and also runs on your device.
Can I keep the animation?
No. PNG output from this tool is a single frame, the first one in the GIF.
