Free PNG to GIF converter
Export one PNG asa static GIF Online.
This Free PNG to GIF converter Online creates one static GIF89a image from your PNG. It is a compatibility export for simple graphics, not a way to create an animated GIF or retain smooth alpha.

About this converter
Free PNG to GIF conversion, built for a real workflow.
PNG can hold full-color pixels and smooth transparency. This route reduces the browser-decoded image to a GIF89a palette with up to 255 opaque colors plus one transparent palette entry. Use it for a still, simple graphic when GIF is required; photographs, gradients, and soft transparent edges can change visibly.
- The encoder creates exactly one GIF89a frame; it does not create animation from a PNG.
- The palette has at most 255 opaque colors plus one reserved transparent entry.
- Pixels with alpha below 16 become fully transparent; other pixels are written as opaque palette colors.
- GIF cannot retain PNG's smooth partial transparency, and subtle gradients can be reduced by palette mapping.
- The downloaded size depends on dimensions, colors, and GIF LZW compression, so a smaller file is not guaranteed.
How it works
Upload once.
Export GIF.
Use the GIF target
Leave GIF selected when the receiving workflow needs a static GIF rather than PNG, WebP, or an animated file.
Convert and inspect
Download the result and inspect color gradients and transparent edges; use the original PNG if the reduced palette is not suitable.
Made for real pipelines
PNG to GIF.
One workspace.
Convert without uploading your assets. Switch outputs anytime — web, print, icons, and document targets from the same batch.
Make a static GIFSingle-frame GIF
Export one still GIF89a image when a recipient specifically asks for GIF.
Palette-aware guidance
Know the output uses a limited palette and binary transparency before replacing the original PNG.
Browser conversion
Create the GIF from browser-decoded pixels without uploading the PNG to a conversion server.
Good to know
Questions, answered.
Is this PNG to GIF converter free?+−
Yes. PNG to GIF conversion is free and available Online without an account.
Are my PNG files uploaded to a server?+−
No. The tool converts browser-readable image data in your browser and does not send the PNG to a conversion server.
Does converting a PNG create an animated GIF?+−
No. The encoder creates one static GIF89a frame from the PNG. It does not add frames, timing, or animation.
Why can PNG colors change in the GIF?+−
GIF uses a limited palette. This encoder uses up to 255 opaque palette colors, so photographs and gradients can be approximated.
Will transparent PNG pixels stay transparent?+−
Fully or nearly transparent pixels can become the GIF's single transparent palette entry, but GIF does not preserve smooth semi-transparent edges.
Will the GIF be smaller than my PNG?+−
Not necessarily. Output size varies with image dimensions, palette complexity, and LZW compression; compare the downloaded file for your use case.
