Can I convert an animated GIF?

You can upload one, but only the first frame is converted — FileMorf's browser-based engine currently produces still images, so the animation itself is not carried into the PNG file. Static GIFs convert completely.

Is GIF transparency preserved in the PNG output?

Yes. GIF's single-level transparency carries over cleanly. Edges will remain hard, though — GIF never stored partial transparency, so there is no soft alpha for the PNG file to inherit.

Does converting GIF to PNG improve image quality?

No — colors that were already reduced to GIF's 256-color palette stay reduced; no converter can invent detail back. What you gain is a container without GIF's limits, so future edits and saves in PNG won't degrade the image any further.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. The entire GIF to PNG conversion happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API, so your files never leave your device. There is nothing to upload, no queue to wait in, and nothing for anyone else to store.

Questions about GIF and PNG.

Check the format behavior, limitations, and follow-up options before processing a real file.

PNG stores the same image without GIF's 256-color ceiling hanging over future edits, making it the right destination when you want to rework a GIF frame or archive graphics cleanly. GIF's binary transparency carries over intact.
