🔁 Convert GIF to PNG
About these formats
About GIF. GIF is an old format limited to 256 colours per frame, best known for short animations. For static photos almost any modern format will look better and weigh less.
About PNG. PNG is a lossless format with full transparency support, which makes it ideal for logos, icons, screenshots and graphics with sharp edges or flat colour. Files are larger than lossy formats because no detail is discarded.
Going from GIF (indexed raster) to PNG (lossless raster) gives you a lossless copy that opens widely and preserves transparency.
When to keep the original instead. There is no quality penalty to worry about here, but it is still wise to keep the original GIF as a master copy.
