Frequently asked questions
How do I convert PNG to GIF?
Add your PNG file with the button above or drop it on the page, check that GIF is selected, press Convert and download the file.
Does converting PNG to GIF reduce quality?
GIF does not lose detail through compression, so the conversion does not reduce quality. What the result can show is limited by what PNG contained.
Are my PNG files uploaded?
No. The file is read and converted by your own browser. It never leaves your device, so private documents and client work stay private.
Can I convert many PNG files at once?
Yes. Add as many files as you like. Each one is converted and you can download them one by one or all together as a ZIP.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no limit set by us. Very large files depend on the memory of your device and browser, so convert huge files on a desktop or laptop.
Is this tool really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no daily limit and no watermark.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The tool runs in your browser, so your files stay on your device.
