How PNG compares to GIF

PNG is generally higher quality than GIF. The main differences are file size, quality characteristics, and transparency support.

Quality recommendations

For PNG output, start at the lossless preset and adjust to taste. A lower quality setting shrinks the file further; a higher one keeps more detail. Keep the original GIF file for archival edits.

Is conversion private?

The GIF first frame is extracted and saved as PNG in your browser. No file is ever uploaded.
