Why convert GIF to PNG?
GIF is an old format limited to 256 colors. PNG is its modern, lossless replacement for still images and is supported everywhere.
For animated GIFs, PixStrong saves the first frame as a PNG — handy for a thumbnail or a preview image.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to animated GIFs?
Only the first frame is converted, because PNG is a still-image format.
Does GIF to PNG keep transparency?
Yes. Transparent areas in the GIF stay transparent in the PNG.
Will the quality change?
No. PNG is lossless, so the image looks exactly like the GIF frame.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. PixStrong processes your images directly in your browser. Your files never leave your device and we never see them.
Does PixStrong remove photo metadata (EXIF)?
Yes. The new image is drawn from the pixels only, so EXIF data such as camera details and GPS location is not copied into the file you download. The photo's rotation is applied first, so it still displays the right way up.
