GIF to PNG Converter

About the GIF to PNG Converter

We built this tool to provide the best way to get high-quality, static images from animated GIFs. The tool excels at its primary purpose: letting you select a single, perfect frame from an animation and converting it into a high-quality, lossless PNG image. This is ideal for creating thumbnails, preview images, or high-quality still shots from any animation, especially when you need to preserve transparency.

You can scrub through every frame of your GIF with an interactive slider, then crop and resize the image to get the perfect result. The live preview and file size comparison let you see your changes instantly. The entire process runs in your browser, so your images are never uploaded, ensuring your data is always private.

How to Use the Tool

• Upload a GIF file using the file browser or by dragging and dropping it.
• Use the "Frame to Extract" slider to choose the exact frame you want to convert from the animation.
• An interactive crop box will appear on your image. Drag and resize it to select the area you want to keep.
• Use the "Resize" options to set a specific width or height for the final PNG image.
• Click "Download .png" to save your new static image.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why extract a frame from a GIF to PNG?

Extracting a single frame is useful for creating high-quality thumbnails, capturing a specific moment for social media, or getting a static preview image. Converting it to PNG is the best option when you need to preserve transparency and maintain the highest possible image quality, as PNG is a lossless format.

Does this tool convert the whole animation?

This tool is specialized for extracting and converting a single, static frame. It does not convert a GIF animation into a sequence of PNG images. Its purpose is to help you select one perfect frame and save it.

Will my transparency be preserved?

Yes. The PNG format fully supports transparency. When you extract a frame from your GIF, any transparent areas will be perfectly preserved in the final PNG file.

Is the GIF I upload kept private?

Yes, your privacy is guaranteed. The entire conversion process happens on your own computer, inside your web browser. Your GIF file is never sent to or stored on our servers.
