GIF to PNG, asked and answered
Does converting GIF to PNG lose quality?
Nothing further is lost, but nothing is recovered either. PNG stores exactly what the GIF contains, compression artefacts included, and the file is usually several times larger for no visible gain.
Can I convert the PNG back to GIF?
Yes, and the file will open — but a round trip is not free. Each pass re-encodes, so going GIF to PNG and back leaves you with less than you started with.
What can I change about the PNG it produces?
You can set the quality, how long to spend, whether to keep EXIF, the width and height, and whether to enlarge. Anything left on Auto is decided by the encoder, which is usually the right answer unless you are targeting a specific size or device.
Where does the conversion happen?
In this tab. GIF to PNG is something the browser can already do, so the file never leaves your machine and the page keeps working offline.
Is there a limit on file size?
Yes — there is a per-file cap and an hourly job limit, because this runs on one small server. The API page states the limits currently in force rather than a number baked into this page.
