About converting PNG to GIF
This is a free online PNG to GIF converter that runs entirely inside your browser, with no upload to a server and no account to create. PNG is a lossless raster format with a full alpha channel, which makes it the default for screenshots, logos, icons and any artwork that needs clean transparent edges. GIF is capped at a 256-colour palette but plays short looping animations everywhere without a video player, which is why it survives as the format of reaction clips.
Moving from PNG to GIF is normally a size-versus-compatibility decision: you are either shrinking assets to speed up a page, or stepping back to a format that a particular editor, CMS or device will actually accept.
Because every conversion runs on your own device through WebAssembly builds of the same open-source engines desktop tools use, there is no upload queue, no file-size cap imposed by a server, and no copy of your PNG sitting in someone else's storage afterwards. That matters most for anything you would hesitate to hand to a third party - identity documents, contracts, medical scans, unreleased work, client material. It also means the converter keeps working with no network connection at all once the page has loaded.
PNG to GIF is one of many routes available here. If a direct path between two formats does not exist, the converter automatically chains several conversions together to reach the one you asked for, so you can get from almost any input to almost any output in a single step.

Frequently asked questions
- Is this PNG to GIF converter free?
- Yes, completely. There is no charge, no account, no watermark on the output and no daily conversion limit.
- Are my files uploaded to a server?
- No. The conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly, so your PNG file never leaves your device and nothing is stored anywhere after you close the tab.
- Is there a file size limit for PNG to GIF conversion?
- There is no server-imposed limit, because there is no server involved. The practical ceiling is your own device's available memory, so very large files convert faster on a desktop than on a phone.
- Will the GIF output look the same as the PNG original?
- It depends on the target format. GIF output is produced at high quality settings, but converting into a lossy format always discards some data by design, and re-encoding an already-lossy file compounds that. Convert from the highest-quality source you have rather than from a previously converted copy.
