GIF to PNG Converter
Drop a GIF, get a PNG. Nothing is uploaded.
The shape is always kept, so the other side follows. Neither maximum ever ENLARGES a picture that is already smaller than it.
Pixels for either maximum, and a percentage for the last one. It is ignored while Resize is keeping the original size.
Nothing is uploaded. Your file is read in your browser and never leaves your computer.
What this does
A screen recorder, a meme maker or a chat app writes GIF, and it is what saving a reaction from a message thread hands you. A PNG keeps every pixel exactly and keeps its transparent parts transparent, which is what a logo, a label or a screenshot needs. It turns up as a reaction, a loading spinner or a short screen recording, and almost nothing outside a browser will open one.

Questions
Is GIF to PNG Converter free?
Yes. Every tool on Short Work Tools is free, with no account, no sign-in and no limit on how many files you run through it. It runs on your own computer, so it costs us nothing to give away.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Nothing is uploaded. Your file is read in your browser and never leaves your computer. There is no upload step, no server copy and nothing kept afterwards, which is also why it works with the network switched off once the page has loaded.
What does the PNG keep from the GIF?
Exact pixels with no quality loss, and real transparency. Only the opening frame is kept, and it arrives as exactly the pixels it was: a PNG can hold millions of colours, but a GIF never had more than 256 to hand over.
How large a file can I use?
Up to 250 MB. The limit is your browser's memory rather than an upload size, because the file never goes anywhere; a file larger than that is refused with a message rather than crashing the tab.
Which programs write GIF files?
A screen recorder, a meme maker or a chat app writes GIF, and it is what saving a reaction from a message thread hands you. It turns up as a reaction, a loading spinner or a short screen recording, and almost nothing outside a browser will open one.
Does the converted picture keep the information the camera wrote into it?
No, and there is no setting for it because there is nothing to set. The picture is decoded to pixels and drawn onto a fresh canvas, and a canvas has no place to put the camera model, the date or the GPS position the original carried, so none of it is in the file you get back.
