Frequently Asked Questions

Does GIF maintain transparency like PNG?

GIF supports transparency, but not alpha transparency like PNG. In GIFs, a pixel is either completely transparent or completely opaque, with no intermediate states.

Why is my GIF file larger than the original PNG?

In some cases, especially with complex images with many colors, GIFs can be larger than PNGs due to its compression method and color limitations. For simple images with fewer colors, GIFs are usually smaller.

Can I create animated GIFs with this tool?

The current tool only supports converting from static PNG to static GIF. To create animated GIFs, you would need multiple frames and a dedicated GIF editor.

Which settings should I use for best results?

For most cases, keeping the original size and using the global color table will give the best results. If you need to optimize for size, try reducing the maximum dimensions.

Is there a limit to how many conversions I can do?

No, you can use this tool for free with no limits on the number of conversions.
