When you would use this
Situations, not settings.
- A logo that arrived as a GIF
- Old brand kits are full of them. PNG keeps the clear background and drops the jagged edge a GIF forces on it.
- A diagram going into a slide deck
- Presentation software tries to play a GIF. A PNG just sits there, which is what a diagram should do.
- An icon you are about to edit
- 256 colours is a hard ceiling to work under. PNG gives the editor room before you change anything.
How it works / no cloud
A conversion engine, not an upload form.
Your browser decodes the GIF, filetity draws its first frame onto a canvas with the transparency intact, and writes a PNG. Both formats store their pixels exactly, so nothing is approximated on the way through, and nothing is uploaded.
- Offline ready
- Installable app
- No file limit queue
Straight answers
No accordion. Nothing hidden.
- Is it free?
- Yes, with no watermark and no page limit.
- Does it need an account?
- No. There is no account system.
- Is my file processed on my device?
- Yes. The file is read by your browser and never uploaded. There is no server to send it to.
- What formats are supported?
- GIF in. PNG out, one file per image, or a ZIP when you convert several.
- What are the limits?
- No image count limit. An animated GIF gives you its first frame only. A GIF holds at most 256 colours, so the PNG carries the same 256 and is not more colourful for being a PNG.
- Does it work on mobile?
- Yes, on any modern mobile browser. Large files are limited by the memory the phone gives the browser.
- Does it work offline?
- Yes, once the page has loaded. The tool keeps working with no network connection.
- Does the animation survive?
- No. PNG holds one image, so you get frame one as a still and the rest is dropped. APNG, the animated cousin of PNG, is not something a browser canvas can write, so this page does not pretend to offer it.
- Is the transparency kept?
- Yes. A GIF marks one palette colour as fully clear, and PNG has a real alpha channel, so those areas come across still clear. PNG can also hold partial transparency, which a GIF cannot, so nothing is given up in the move.
- Will the PNG be bigger or smaller?
- Usually close to the same. Both formats compress without changing a pixel, and a 256 colour picture is exactly what PNG is good at. A long animation becomes one frame, so that file gets much smaller.
- Why would I want a PNG rather than the GIF?
- Because most software treats a GIF as an animation and a PNG as a picture. A PNG drops into a document, a slide or an editor without anything trying to play it, and it can hold the soft edges a GIF had to make jagged.
