Frequently asked questions
- Which frame does this convert?
- This converter extracts the first frame of the GIF as a PNG. For static (non-animated) GIFs, this is simply the full image.
- Is GIF transparency preserved in the PNG?
- Yes. PNG supports alpha transparency, so transparent areas in your GIF frame will be preserved in the PNG output.
- Can I extract all frames from an animated GIF?
- This tool extracts only the first frame. To access individual frames, use the GifWidgets GIF Editor which provides frame-by-frame editing.
- Why use PNG instead of JPG for GIF conversion?
- PNG preserves GIF transparency (which JPG cannot) and uses lossless encoding — so no additional quality is lost beyond the GIF's original fidelity.
- Is my GIF uploaded to a server?
- No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.
