PNG to GIF Converter Features

Preserves Transparency

Both PNG and GIF formats support transparency. Our converter intelligently maps your PNG's transparent alpha channel directly to the output GIF.

Smart Color Mapping

Because GIFs are strictly limited to 256 colors, our tool uses an optimized color reduction algorithm to maintain the visual fidelity of your original PNG.

Secure In-Memory Processing

Your privacy is fully guaranteed. Your files are processed securely in our server's RAM and streamed directly back to you without ever being saved.
