GIF versus PNG
GIF is limited to 256 colors, which is why photographs look grainy as GIFs. PNG supports millions of colors and smooth, semi-transparent edges, so it is the better format for still images.
Animated GIFs
This tool saves only the first frame of an animation. To keep movement, use a video or animated WebP format instead.
Frequently asked questions
Are my photos uploaded to your server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using your own device. Your files are never sent to us or to any third party, which is why it also works for private photos and large batches. Once the page has finished loading you can even switch off your internet connection and the tool keeps working.
Will the PNG be bigger than the GIF?
Often it is a little bigger for photos and similar for simple graphics.
