Questions & answers

Frequently asked

Which GIF frame is extracted?

The first frame (frame 0) is extracted. For a static GIF with only one frame, the entire image is converted.

Is GIF transparency preserved in the PNG?

Yes. GIF transparency (a single transparent color index) is converted to a transparent alpha channel in the output PNG.

Is my GIF uploaded to a server?

Your file or text is processed in your browser and is not uploaded.

Can I extract frames other than the first?

Currently only the first frame is extracted. Full animated GIF frame extraction requires a more complex decoder not yet available in this tool.

Does GIF to PNG upload my content?

Your file or text is processed in your browser and is not uploaded.

Is GIF to PNG free to use?

Yes. All OnlineTextLab tools are free with no account required.
