Frequently Asked Questions
The first frame by default. You can specify a different frame number in the converter settings — useful for extracting a specific expression from a reaction GIF or a key frame from a product animation.
Yes — and it actually improves. GIF transparency is binary: pixels are either fully transparent or fully opaque with no in-between. PNG supports smooth alpha channel transparency, so edges look cleaner and anti-aliased in the output PNG.
PNG supports more than 256 colors (GIF's hard limit), producing better quality for illustrations and logos. For non-animated images, PNG is usually similar size or smaller. PNG also supports proper semi-transparent pixels for smooth anti-aliased edges.
Yes. Old web clipart and icon GIFs convert cleanly to PNG. The binary GIF transparency becomes proper alpha channel, giving you cleaner transparent edges — ideal for placing old icons on modern colored or dark backgrounds.
Currently the converter exports one chosen frame at a time. Set the frame number to extract any specific frame. For complete frame-by-frame export, a dedicated GIF editor would be more appropriate.
For solid-color graphics and logos, PNG's DEFLATE compression is typically more efficient than GIF's LZW — usually producing a smaller file. For photographs or complex gradients, JPEG or WebP are better choices than either GIF or PNG.
