Why convert GIF to PNG?
GIF is an old format that's great for short loops, but it's limited to 256 colours and only on/off transparency — which leaves graphics looking rough around the edges. For a still image, PNG is the better pick: it's lossless, supports millions of colours and keeps smooth, full transparency, so logos, icons and screenshots come out crisp. One honest note: a GIF can be animated, but PNG is a still format — so converting an animated GIF exports its first frame as a single PNG. ConvertPixie does it instantly on your device — no app to install and nothing uploaded to a server.
Your files never leave your device
ConvertPixie decodes GIF and writes the PNG right here in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored — ideal for files you'd rather keep to yourself.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if my GIF is animated?
PNG is a still-image format, so the converter exports the first frame of an animated GIF as a single PNG. The animation itself isn't preserved — you get a clean snapshot of that opening frame.
Why convert a GIF to PNG?
PNG is lossless and keeps full transparency, so it's the better choice for sharp logos, icons and graphics. For a still image, PNG gives you cleaner edges and more colours than a GIF can.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The conversion happens entirely in your browser. Your GIF files never leave your device and nothing is sent to a server.
Can I convert several GIFs at once?
Yes. Add as many GIF files as you like, convert them all, then download each PNG or grab them together as a ZIP.
Will the PNG keep transparency?
Yes. PNG supports full transparency, so any transparent areas in your GIF are preserved cleanly in the exported PNG.
