Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to animation when converting GIF to PNG?
Only the first frame of the animated GIF is extracted and converted to PNG. The animation is not preserved in a single PNG file.
Is transparency preserved?
Yes! GIF transparency is converted to full PNG alpha transparency, which actually gives you smoother edges since PNG supports full 8-bit alpha channels.
Why convert GIF to PNG?
PNG supports millions of colors and full alpha transparency, making it far superior to GIF for static images. PNG also offers better compression for non-photographic content.
