PNG to GIF Conversion

PNG files use lossless compression. This means you can edit and save a PNG as many times as you want without losing any quality. PNGs also support transparency, allowing parts of your image to be see-through. This makes PNG ideal for logos, graphics, and any image that needs to be layered over other content.

GIF is a format known for its ability to support animations. However, it is limited to a palette of 256 colors, which can make photographs look grainy. GIFs are best used for simple graphics and small animations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should you convert PNG to GIF?

PNG is a static image format with 24-bit true color supporting 16.7 million colors. If you need animation capabilities, GIF remains the most universally compatible animated format despite its 256-color limitation. GIF's animation support dates back to 1989 and works on every platform ever made. Converting static PNG to GIF typically results in severe quality degradation - the 256-color palette causes visible banding, dithering, and posterization in photos and gradients. File sizes often increase rather than decrease. Only convert PNG to GIF when: (1) you specifically need animation by combining multiple PNGs into an animated sequence, (2) you're targeting extremely old systems that predate PNG support (pre-1998 browsers), or (3) you're working with simple graphics where 256 colors suffice. For modern use, WebP offers superior animated format with millions of colors.
