GIF vs PNG at a glance
How the two formats compare, so you know what to expect.
GIF
Your filesA veteran format limited to 256 colours, still everywhere thanks to short looping animations.
Best for Simple animations, reactions and memes.
PNG
What you getA lossless format that keeps every pixel exactly. Great for screenshots, logos and anything with text or sharp edges.
Best for Screenshots, logos, diagrams, cut-outs with transparency, and master copies you will edit again.

| Compression | Lossless, 256 colours | Lossless |
| Transparency | Basic (on or off) | Yes |
| Animation | Yes | Rarely (APNG) |
| Photo file size | Large, with colour banding | Often 3–5× a JPG |

Questions, answered
Will converting GIF to PNG reduce quality?
No. PNG is lossless, so the converted file keeps every pixel of your GIF exactly.
Will the PNG be smaller than the GIF?
Usually, yes. PNG compresses images more efficiently than GIF, so most files get noticeably smaller. You’ll see the exact size of every file, and how much you saved, as soon as it’s converted.
What happens to transparent backgrounds?
They stay transparent. PNG supports transparency with smooth edges, so logos, icons and cut-outs convert cleanly.
Are animated GIFs supported?
Not yet. For animated GIF files, ToolHero converts the first frame into a still PNG. Animation support is on our list.
Can I convert lots of GIF files at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like: they’re converted side by side on your device, and you can download them one by one or all together as a .zip.
Do my images leave my device?
No. The GIF to PNG conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your images are never sent anywhere. There’s no sign-up and no limit on how many you convert.
