GIF to PNG export turns an animated GIF into still PNG images. Pick the first frame to get a single PNG, or all frames to get one ZIP with a PNG for every frame in order. Many GIFs store each frame as a small patch over the one before, so the converter rebuilds every frame as the full picture you see on screen, following the GIF disposal rules, before saving it. The PNG files are RGBA with lossless alpha, so transparent areas stay transparent. The output is still images, not an animated PNG.
Use this page to pull still images out of a GIF. To build a GIF from PNG images instead, use PNG to GIF.
The first-frame export gives one PNG, handy for a thumbnail, a poster image or a still for a document.

Frames, transparency and limits for GIF to PNG export.
GIF to PNG conversion gives you still PNG images from an animated GIF: either the first frame as one PNG, or every frame as separate PNG files packed in one ZIP.
Choose the all-frames export. The converter saves each frame as a PNG in playback order inside one ZIP, which you unzip on your device.
Transparency is kept. The PNG files are RGBA with lossless alpha, so pixels that are transparent in the GIF stay transparent in the PNG.
No. Animated PNGs cannot be made here; this page outputs still PNG images only; for an animated result, keep the GIF or rebuild one from frames with PNG to GIF.
Many GIFs save only the changed area of each frame. Exporting those raw patches gives fragments, so this converter composites each frame into the full picture first, following the GIF disposal rules.
Conversion here is free with no account and no credits. A Web Worker in your browser does the work, and processing makes no network requests.
GIFs can be up to 20 MiB, 120 frames and 1600 px per side, with up to 12 million pixels across all frames. The output can be up to 40 MiB, and a run is cut off after 60 seconds.
