What GIF to PNG does
Saves the GIF as a PNG still image at the same size. For animated GIFs, the first frame is saved.
When to use it
- You need a still image of a GIF for a document, profile picture or thumbnail.
- You want to edit a GIF graphic in an app that prefers PNG.
- A form accepts PNG but not GIF.
Good to know
- Animated GIFs: only the first frame is converted. The animation isn’t kept.
- Transparency is kept.
- GIF is limited to 256 colours, so the PNG shows exactly those colours; it can’t add detail.
Need a different frame?
This tool saves frame one, which is usually the cover image of an animation. If you need a specific frame, take a screenshot while the GIF plays, then crop it with Crop Image.

Frequently asked questions
Does it keep the animation?
No. PNG here is a still image, so the first frame is saved.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Everything runs on your device.
Can I choose which frame to save?
No. The tool saves the first frame, which is usually the cover image of an animation. For another frame, take a screenshot while the GIF plays, then use Crop Image.
Will the colors change?
No. A GIF holds at most 256 colors, and the PNG shows exactly those colors. PNG can’t add detail that the GIF never had.
