Is this image converter free to use?

Yes! Our image converter is completely free to use with no limitations on the number of conversions or file sizes.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All image conversions happen directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.

What image formats are supported?

We support JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC, BMP, and GIF formats. You can convert between any of these formats freely.

Is there a file size limit?

There is no strict file size limit, but very large images may take longer to process depending on your device's capabilities.

Can I convert multiple images at once?

Yes! You can select and convert multiple images simultaneously. Just drag and drop or select multiple files.

Why convert GIF to PNG for static images?

PNG offers true color support (16.7 million colors) vs GIF's 256 color limit, better compression for most graphics, and improved transparency. For non-animated images, PNG provides superior quality with smaller file sizes.

Will converting GIF to PNG improve image quality?

If the original GIF used fewer than 256 colors, the quality will be identical. If the image was originally reduced to 256 colors, PNG can't recover the lost data, but it will prevent further degradation and provide better quality for future edits.

What happens to animated GIFs when converted to PNG?

PNG doesn't support animation (though APNG does). Converting an animated GIF to PNG will only save the first frame as a static image. If you need animation, keep the GIF or consider modern formats like WebP.

Is PNG always smaller than GIF?

For most graphics, logos, and screenshots, yes. PNG's compression algorithm is more efficient. However, very simple images with few colors might be similar in size. The quality benefits of PNG usually outweigh any small file size differences.

Will transparency be preserved?

Yes! Both GIF and PNG support transparency. PNG actually offers better transparency with 256 levels of opacity (alpha channel) vs GIF's binary transparency (fully transparent or fully opaque), providing smoother edges.
