How to
Convert PNG to GIF.
- 1Choose your .png files, or drop them on the box. Up to 50 at once.
- 2Keep Dither on for photos; graphics with 256 colours or fewer keep their exact colours automatically.
- 3Download each GIF, or Download all to get one ZIP file.
How it works
Exact where possible, smart where not.
The tool counts the colours in your PNG first. A logo, icon or chart with 256 colours or fewer is saved with exactly those colours, so nothing changes. A photo with thousands of colours is reduced with a median-cut palette (the 256 colours that best cover the picture) and, if you want, dithered.
- Transparent pixels stay transparent; partly transparent pixels become fully clear or fully solid, because GIF has no soft transparency.
- The result is a single still frame.
- Want a smaller file for a website instead? PNG to WebP keeps soft transparency and is usually far smaller than GIF.
FAQ
Questions people ask first.
- How do I convert PNG to GIF?
- Drop the PNG into the tool above and download the GIF. Several PNG files can be converted at once.
- Does PNG to GIF keep transparency?
- Yes. Fully transparent areas stay transparent. Soft edges become hard because GIF has only on/off transparency.
- Will my logo’s colours change?
- Not if it has 256 colours or fewer; they are kept exactly. Only images with more colours are reduced.
- Can I make an animated GIF from several PNGs?
- Not with this tool; it saves one still image per PNG.
- Are my images uploaded?
- No. Your browser opens and converts the images on your own device. Nothing is sent to Daniotech or anyone else.
