About GIF to PNG
PNG is a better format than GIF for still images: it supports millions of colours and smooth transparency, and most programs handle it well.
If your GIF is animated, the PNG shows the first frame, because PNG is a still image. The conversion runs on your device; nothing is uploaded.
GIF files are limited to 256 colours. Converting to PNG keeps the picture exactly as it is, and from then on you can edit it with as many colours as you like: smooth gradients, soft shadows and photos added to it won't look grainy.
Transparent parts of the GIF stay transparent in the PNG. The size in pixels stays the same. You can convert a batch of GIFs at once and download them together as a ZIP. If you need to keep the animation, try the GIF to MP4 converter instead: it turns the animation into a small video.
Hidden details stored in the GIF are not copied; only the picture is kept. Once the page has loaded, the converter also works offline.
