Turn a GIF, or any frames of an animated GIF, into lossless PNG files with transparency kept - for every frame with timing use the GIF Frame Extractor.
Want an icon from the PNG? Drop it into the PNG to ICO converter.
A GIF frame as PNG is easier to edit, print and reuse.
PNG keeps the exact GIF colours and the transparency, without the 256-colour limit for later edits.
It is the usual way to grab a still from an animation.
| GIF | PNG | |
|---|---|---|
| Colours | 256 | Millions |
| Transparency | On/off | Full alpha |
| Animation | Yes | No |
| Compression | LZW | Deflate (smaller) |
| Best for | Animations | Stills, editing |
