Complete Guide: PNG to GIF Conversion
Converting PNG to GIF is useful for simple graphics with limited colors, especially when you need maximum compatibility with legacy systems or email clients. Be aware that GIF only supports 256 colors and binary (on/off) transparency.
When to Convert PNG to GIF
- ✓You need maximum compatibility with legacy email clients
- ✓Your PNG is a simple graphic with few colors that will look fine in GIF
- ✓You need basic transparency on very old platforms
- ✓Creating simple animated graphics from PNG sources
Quality & File Size Notes
GIF's 256-color limit may cause visible banding if your PNG has gradients or many colors. GIF only supports binary transparency (fully transparent or fully opaque) - no partial transparency.
How to Convert PNG to GIF
Upload your PNG
Drag and drop your PNG. Simple graphics with flat colors convert best.
Select GIF output
Choose GIF from the format options. Transparency will be converted to binary.
Review the result
Check for color banding and transparency quality. Enable dithering if gradients look blocky.
Download your GIF
Your GIF is ready. May be larger than PNG for complex images.
Pro Tips for PNG to GIF Conversion
- 💡GIF only supports binary transparency - semi-transparent pixels become fully transparent or opaque
- 💡For complex images with many colors, keep PNG or switch to WebP
- 💡GIF works best for logos, icons, and graphics with flat colors
