Convert GIF images to PNG free, keeping transparency. Animated GIFs give you the first frame. Nothing is uploaded.

PNG exists because GIF was patent-encumbered and limited to 256 colours. For any still image, PNG is strictly better: full colour, better compression for the same content, and smooth alpha transparency instead of GIF's single hard-edged transparent colour. Converting a still GIF to PNG is the upgrade GIF never got.
GIF transparency is binary — a pixel is either fully transparent or fully opaque, which is what causes the jagged fringe around GIF logos. PNG supports partial transparency. The conversion preserves what the GIF had; it cannot invent the smooth edges the GIF never stored.
PNG holds one image. An animated GIF converts to its first frame. APNG exists but browsers do not expose an encoder for it, so it is not offered here.
Yes. No account, no watermark, no cap on how many files you convert.
No. The conversion runs inside your browser on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server — you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
Yes. PNG supports transparency, so transparent GIF areas stay transparent. This is the main reason to choose PNG over JPG here.
No. You get the first frame. PNG stores a single image.
For a simple graphic, often smaller — PNG compresses flat colour better than GIF. For a photographic GIF, usually larger, because PNG is lossless.
They will not get worse, but they cannot improve. The GIF was capped at 256 colours when it was made and that reduction is already baked in.
