Frequently Asked Questions
Why convert PNG to GIF?
Some chat apps, forums, and older tools handle GIF more reliably than PNG. A GIF is also a simple, widely accepted single image format.
Does it keep transparency?
Yes, but as on or off only. GIF allows one fully transparent colour, so smooth edges that fade out may look slightly harder than in the PNG.
Why do the colours look a little different?
GIF supports at most 256 colours, so a photo or gradient is reduced to fit. Simple graphics and logos usually look the same.
Is the GIF animated?
No. This makes a single still GIF from your PNG. There is no animation.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. Your image never leaves your computer. The first conversion downloads a small encoder, then the image is processed locally.
Does it keep the same dimensions?
Yes. The pixel width and height stay the same; only the format and colours change.
Does it work on a phone or tablet?
Yes, in any modern browser, with nothing to install.
