This tool converts files in PNG format into non-animated, single-frame GIF files. If we compare PNG and GIF files, they have significant differences in color depth, transparency handling, and compression methods. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) supports truecolor (full RGB color spectrum with 16.7 million colors) and a full alpha channel (with 256 values), but GIF supports a maximum of 256 colors (8-bit color palette) and the most basic transparency – only one color from 256 can be transparent (called binary transparency). As both formats support transparency, you can choose whether to transfer it over to GIF. If your PNG already has transparent areas, you can activate the "Preserve GIF Transparency" option to keep them in the GIF. In this conversion mode, you'll also have to specify the index color (also called key color) that will be used to fill the transparent regions of the PNG before it's converted to a GIF (this color is removed when the GIF is rendered). You can also create an opaque GIF from a transparent PNG. In this case, enable the "Discard GIF Transparency" option and choose a background color to fill the transparent areas of the original PNG with. If you're converting an opaque PNG to an opaque GIF, there's nothing you need to configure in the options – all PNG pixels will be automatically quantized to the 256-color GIF palette. The tool options also display information about the transparency of the input PNG and output GIF, as well as the dimensions (width/height) of the file you're working with. For the reverse conversion from GIF to PNG, you can use our GIF to PNG Converter tool. Png-abulous!

This example transforms a PNG picture of flowers with transparent areas into a GIF while preserving transparency. As GIFs can only store one transparent color, we first replace all transparent pixels with a solid key color (white) and then mark this color as transparent in the final GIF. Any semi-transparent areas in the PNG are flattened against the key color before conversion because the GIF format does not support an alpha channel. The white key color is chosen because it doesn't appear anywhere in the PNG, but you can pick another key color if needed. (Source: Pixabay.)
In this example, we convert a high-quality PNG image into a GIF format image. Since GIFs support only 256 colors, we perform color reduction of the PNG, mapping all RGB colors of the PNG to their nearest 256 shades. During the conversion, all pixels remain opaque because the input PNG has no transparency. As a result, the output GIF also has no transparency. (Source: Pixabay.)
This example converts a transparent PNG sticker of a bluebird to a non-transparent GIF by filling all transparent areas with a solid background color. To do it, the "Discard GIF Transparency" option is turned on and the color "rgb(54, 87, 123)" is used as the fill color. This replaces every transparent pixel in the PNG with the chosen color, creating a fully opaque GIF sticker with no transparency channel. (Source: Pexels.)
