PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics and offers greater colour depth and lossless compression compared to GIF. Unlike GIF, which is limited to 256 colours, PNG can display millions of colours and is therefore also suitable for images with subtle gradients.

Only the first frame in the PNG

PNG cannot display animations. With an animated GIF, therefore, only the first image (the first frame) is retained; the movement is lost. If you wish to preserve the animation, you should convert the GIF to a video format instead.

Transparency is preserved

Unlike when converting GIF to JPG, the transparent background is fully preserved in PNG. PNG supports an alpha channel, so transparent areas are not filled with a background colour.

What PNG is suitable for

Graphics with text, logos or hard edges
Images with a transparent background
Lossless archiving without any loss of quality

Whether for professional projects, social media or personal use: converting to PNG improves image quality and compatibility. Your files are transferred securely and automatically deleted from our servers after conversion.
