Question 1

What happens with animated GIFs?

Accepted Answer

For animated GIFs, only the first frame is converted to PNG. The result is a static image. This is useful for extracting a thumbnail or still image from an animation.

Question 2

Why convert GIF to PNG?

Accepted Answer

PNG supports millions of colors (vs. GIF's 256-color limit), has better compression for most images, and supports full alpha transparency. Converting to PNG gives you a higher-quality static image.

Question 3

Will transparency be preserved?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If the GIF has transparent areas, they will be preserved in the PNG output. PNG actually handles transparency better than GIF, supporting full alpha (partial) transparency.

Question 4

Can I convert multiple GIF files at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Upload up to 20 GIF files at once. When converting multiple files, you can download them all as a single ZIP archive.
